The Ivybridge Vet is the dream come true of veterinarian Kendall Sibbing. Kendall grew up in Midwest America watching his Grandfather providing veterinary care to a small community; he knew one day he wanted to open his own practice. In January 2025 the opportunity came to build his own practice in his hometown Ivybridge, with the support of friends & family. We are delighted to be able to open this new veterinary practice in January 2026. We provide modern facilities and services while offering traditional values with pet & pet owners at the heart of decision making.
