Clinic Overview

Part of the Vets4Pets network (run as a locally owned practice under Companion Care), with on-site facilities geared towards routine care plus diagnostics and in-patient nursing (including a hospital ward, in-house lab testing, and imaging such as X‑ray and ultrasound). The website states that when the practice is closed, emergency cover is provided via Vets Now (with a stated consultation fee from £313.50).

From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe supportive handling of small mammals (rats are mentioned) and end‑of‑life conversations that were both kind and realistic. However, there are also reports of being refused an urgent appointment due to registration status and of rude/condescending reception behaviour, as well as an older complaint about a very short appointment and being asked to pay again for a second opinion.

Services

Based on the website summary and structured clinic data, the practice describes the following capabilities

  • Diagnostics (in-house and on-site): in-house laboratory, biochemistry, haematology, blood pressure monitoring, Tonopen eye pressure testing.
  • Imaging: digital X‑ray, dental X‑ray, ultrasound.
  • Surgery/hospitalisation: operating theatre, hospital ward, isolation unit.
  • Ward setup: separated dog & cat wards.
  • Species mentioned: dogs, cats, rabbits (reviews also mention care for rats).
  • Emergency / out-of-hours: when closed, emergency cover is provided through Vets Now (as stated on the website).
  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility (from structured clinic data).

Pricing

  • Out-of-hours emergency consultation: website states Vets Now consultation fees start from £313.50.
  • One reviewer reports paying £30 for an appointment relating to a dog’s split nail, and being told a second opinion would require paying another £30 (single-review report).

People

  • Reception team (unnamed): described very positively by one owner of pet rats as “lovely” when calling or arriving worried; another reviewer describes a receptionist as “rude and condescending” when they sought an urgent appointment (clear disagreement in experiences).
  • Vets and nurses (unnamed): one reviewer describes vets as knowledgeable and helpful at easing worry, and highlights a vet who was “realistic about the outcomes” during an end-of-life period; they also noted not feeling rushed at a final consultation with a nurse.
  • Ashima (name uncertain; described as a “young lady” working there): praised for patiently helping an owner fit and compare dog harnesses, including trying different options to ensure correct fit (this review describes a retail purchase experience rather than a clinical appointment).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.2 stars from 281 reviews. “”

  • Small mammal support and difficult conversations: one owner of rats describes repeated visits over two years, feeling their worries were taken seriously, and being supported with realistic end‑of‑life guidance.
  • Handling and gentleness with cats: a cat owner mentions gentle handling for a claw issue and being happy with the outcome.
  • Access and front-desk experience can be a sticking point: one reviewer says they were refused an emergency appointment due to still being registered elsewhere, and felt dismissed; an older review also alleges a rushed appointment and frustration about being charged again for a follow‑up/second opinion.
  • Non-clinical help mentioned: a reviewer praises patient, practical help choosing and fitting a dog harness.
