Clinic Overview

The Pet Vet Lincoln describes itself as an independent, family-owned practice. From the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine care plus same-day/urgent problem-solving and surgery, including dental work and investigations for lumps/bumps, with the option of at-home appointments. Owners specifically mention major abdominal surgery to remove an intestinal blockage, spays with follow-up/courtesy calls, and palliative/end-of-life care in a dedicated suite. The website also states there is no surcharge for weekend/evening/bank-holiday visits, and the clinic lists Blue Paw accreditation for osteoarthritis care.

Reviews

4.6 stars from 347 reviews. - Serious illness and surgery support: owners describe intestinal foreign-body surgery with a difficult recovery, spays, and tumour/mass work-ups, often framed as rapid decision-making and intensive support.

  • End-of-life care: one review highlights a “special suite” and dignified, supported palliative care/euthanasia.
  • Facilities and stress reduction: one owner mentions a separate waiting area for cats and dogs and describes the practice as very clean.
  • Cost/value is contested: one recent 1-star review alleges high pricing and poor value from a monthly plan (including missed vaccine reminders and extra charges), while another reviewer explicitly says they find costs reasonable for the care received.
