Services

•Routine, urgent, and same-day care: Reviews describe pets being seen quickly when concerns escalate, including a collapsed cat being told to come straight in, short-notice appointments for guinea pigs, and prompt help for pets whose condition suddenly worsened.
•Emergency support and treatment planning: Recent experiences include life-saving care for a dog, urgent assessment of complex cases, and clear discussion of next steps when transfer to an out-of-hours provider may be needed.
•Diagnostics, medicine, and surgery: Reported examples include x-rays for advanced dental disease in a guinea pig, major surgery for a guinea pig, medicines for small exotic pets, and medical treatment such as antibiotics and diet changes before surgery where appropriate.
•End-of-life care and honest advice: Reviews repeatedly mention kind, well-explained support around difficult decisions, including euthanasia when treatment would have been complex and unlikely to be in the pet’s best interests.
•Care across multiple species: Recent feedback covers dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and a chipmunk, suggesting the team is comfortable with common pets as well as some smaller exotic animals.

Thank you sincerely once again. Jumbo the cat is making some sort of miracle recovery. He's not through the woods yet, but if it wasn't for you he'd be long gone. Hard working team of dedicated professionals. I don't know how you cope with the stress, but somehow you do. Much love from Jumbo's family. Wonderful people.

I visited Vicarage Veterinary around six weeks ago with my poorly chipmunk, Poppy. She was suffering with a rather complicated, unusual ailment. Although this type of animal is not the usual that enters their doors, I was impressed with the time taken, compassion shown and the caring nature of the nurses who advised and helped. There is very little treatment available to such small and exotic pets such as these, but the nurses where honest and did the very best they could, offering several options open to me without any pressure. I realised in my heart at the time, that this may well be terminal, but with the help given, and the medicine provided, she had a happy, comfortable life and didn't suffer any pain. She was nearly eight years old, which for a small rodent is a good longevity, and I couldn't have realistically expected more. I was fitted in on two occasions at short notice, and the costs were considerably less than I expected, (despite the facts that I was neither registered here, nor had I visited before). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the V.V.C. to others, and I will be returning in the future, should I need to with other pets.

I cannot rate this practice highly enough. I have two guinea pigs that they have cared for over two years including major surgery on one. Always ready to see the boys quickly if I am worried. I have never felt ripped off or over charged for anything. Previous vets I have used have been a disgrace in comparison. Thank you to all who work at this practice for your care. December 2025 Sadly one of my two guinea pigs ( my favourite) had to be put down this week. X-rays showed advanced dental disease and as he was five years old treatment would have been complex and it was the kindest option. I was treated so well at the practice with patience and empathy and everything explained to me. Many thanks to all and I know you will be there for my remaining piggy.
