Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Vicarage Veterinary Centre is described by reviewers as an independent, family-owned practice, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on reviews, the clinic appears set up for both routine consults and urgent/same-day problems, with examples including being told to “bring her straight in” after a cat collapsed, and fitting in a late-evening assessment for a deteriorating puppy.

Concrete examples owners mention include x‑rays to investigate dental disease in a guinea pig, major surgery for small pets, and bladder blockage surgery planning and stabilisation (including draining the bladder to keep a dog comfortable overnight before surgery). Several reviews also highlight clear explanations of options (e.g., trying antibiotics and diet changes before considering surgery, or discussing euthanasia when treatment would be complex).

Services

Services and capabilities mentioned in the provided data and reviews include

  • Emergency/urgent care (clinic data notes emergency veterinary services; reviews describe being seen quickly for collapse and deterioration)
  • Out-of-hours arrangements (a reviewer describes discussion of transferring to an out-of-hours surgery due to cost/urgency, alongside stabilisation at the practice)
  • Diagnostic imaging (X-rays) (used to identify advanced dental disease in a guinea pig)
  • Surgery
  • “Major surgery” for a guinea pig (species-specific surgery is explicitly mentioned)
  • Surgery for a life-threatening bladder blockage in a dog (following assessment and stabilisation)
  • Medical management (e.g., antibiotics and diet change recommended for UTI and bladder crystals, with surgery discussed as a last resort)
  • Euthanasia (described in the context of complex dental disease in an older guinea pig, with the decision explained to the owner)
  • Care for multiple species (reviews mention dogs, cats, and guinea pigs)

People

  • Jasmine (also referred to as “Jaz”): Repeatedly named in reviews. Owners describe her as
  • Thorough and clear in explanations, including walking through treatment options (antibiotics/diet first, surgery as last resort)
  • Willing to handle urgent situations, including assessing a dog late in the day, recognising a bladder blockage as life-threatening, and arranging a plan that included stabilisation and next-day surgery
  • Able to work with fearful/aggressive dogs, with one owner noting their dog tolerated a heart listen for the first time after Jasmine took time to get to know her
  • Nursing team and reception staff: Mentioned for practical support in stressful moments (e.g., helping an owner through an emergency, and providing a calm, welcoming front desk experience)

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 218 reviews. “”

  • Fast access when worried, including being told to come straight in after a collapse and being seen late in the day due to deterioration.
  • Clear, decision-focused explanations, such as outlining when surgery is needed versus when medical/diet management is appropriate, and explaining x-ray findings and end-of-life options.
  • Hands-on care across species, with multiple examples involving guinea pigs (x-rays, major surgery, dental disease) as well as dogs and cats.
  • Extra effort in difficult cases, including working with a fear-aggressive dog and supporting owners through frightening emergencies.
