Emmerdale Veterinary Centre is located on Hotten Road and owned by Paddy Kirk and Vanessa Woodfield. The surgery was opened by Zoe Tate on 25th May 1995. In 2003, Nicola Blackstock told pet owners that there had been a breakout of rabies at the surgery after Paddy sacked her and hired Frances Marsden to cover her job although Frances quit after one day. After their divorce in 2016, Paddy give Rhona Smithy Cottage in return for her share of the vets although promised Rhona she'd always have a job if she wanted it.
