Drs Bob and Joey Rheinberger, along with Dr Phil Hazzard started Ironmines Veterinary Clinic on this site in 2009. The practice was a mixed animal practice with a special interest in dairy cattle medicine and reproduction. 

In time, as the dairy sector started to slow down with more housing coming to the area, the small animal sector of the clinic grew and Karl Northall came on board, bringing with him his expertise in canine reproduction. The clinic gradually grew, bringing in more staff, in particular, a very knowledgeable support staff.

We are also lucky to have a relationship with Retford Equine Services and Dr Karim Kooros

In November 2022 the building was reopened as Hoof and Paw Animal Care and Dr Joey Rheinberger became the sole director of the clinic. The clinic is still affiliated with Drs Bob Rheinberger and Phil Hazzard and you will still see them around the hospital!
