Beacon VetCare is a 24/7 veterinary provider (including emergency care) and a veterinary nurse training facility.

Practical, decision-relevant details mentioned include staff keeping owners updated during recovery until pick-up, out-of-hours support being used after surgery, and accommodations for anxious dogs (including calling a nervous dog in from outside and a vet meeting a dog at the car to help them settle).

Owners frequently mention: - Urgent same-day help and triage—including an emergency after a fight between two dogs. - Investigation and surgery for lumps—one review describes a lump that was investigated, diagnosed as malignant, and then removed (alongside a spay) within two weeks. - Support for anxious dogs—including “friendly sessions” aimed at getting a dog comfortable with the clinic before a procedure. - Ongoing medical management—one owner references care for a dog diagnosed with mitral valve disease.

Grove Veterinary Centre is listed (in the clinic data provided) as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (described there as 24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews most often describe prompt routine appointments and a team approach involving reception staff, veterinary nurses and vets. Several owners mention an “immaculate” interior and a welcoming experience, while one detailed negative review raises concerns about follow-up and support after kidney treatment and about the terms of a preventative plan cancellation. Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include: - Routine visits described as “very prompt” and “efficient,” with good support from reception, nurses and the vet. - Ongoing care for cats with recurring health problems, with vets offering reassurance to worried owners. - A dog kept in for a 24‑hour kidney “flush,” followed by a complaint that no further tests were done to check response and that the plan was “see how it goes.” - Out-of-hours care: one owner’s only downside was that the out-of-hours service is “so far away.”

Overdale Veterinary Centre is an RCVS-accredited practice that, according to its website, provides farm services and emergency and routine care for horses, ponies and donkeys, alongside a Pet Care Plan. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. In recent reviews, owners describe being able to get help quickly for urgent problems (for example, a dog seen at short notice and sent home with advice and medication, with improvement within 48 hours). Several reviews mention practical handling of painful injuries (such as repeated visits for a dog with torn claws and a sprain, including pain relief and calming a distressed patient). If a pet needs to stay in, one reviewer says they were kept updated. Not all experiences are positive: one review praises the vets but describes reception/admin as rude and the fees as “robbery,” and another alleges missed warning signs after a castration, followed by a sudden death the next day (a very serious complaint that conflicts with other owners’ positive outcomes).

One reviewer also noticed a candle in reception to mark when a family was saying goodbye to a pet.

Community Pet Clinic is presented on the Jollyes website alongside other in-store services (“Jolly Groomer” and “The Raw Store”), suggesting it operates as part of a wider pet retail/service setup rather than a standalone clinic.

Owners also specifically mention: - Clean clinic areas (from a recent review). - Handling small pets (including ferrets), with nurses comfortable enough that one ferret “adores the nurses and loves a cuddle.” - Multiple reviewers describing the team as efficient/professional and friendly.
