Best Vets in England

Ownership/affiliation isn’t stated in the information provided. Lincvet appears set up for routine preventative care and surgery (vaccinations, neutering/spaying) as well as difficult end-of-life appointments, and it’s listed as offering emergency veterinary services plus being a veterinary nurse training facility. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly describe staff taking time to explain what’s happening (including answering questions around a spay) and keeping people informed of costs before medication is prescribed. Several reviews also mention practical, pet-behaviour support such as free desensitisation sessions to help nervous animals build confidence coming into the clinic. Feedback is mixed on value and logistics: some describe a “good value” pet plan/health club, while others say it’s expensive; one reviewer reports repeated long waits despite asking for the best time to come.

Rawtenstall Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group and lists a wide range of in‑house diagnostics and surgical options (including digital X‑ray/ultrasound, in‑house lab work, dentistry with dental X‑ray, and procedures such as cruciate surgery and fracture repair). The practice also states it uses separate waiting areas and wards for cats, dogs and small furries, plus an isolation unit. The latest reviews show a split experience: several owners describe unhurried consultations (including time for questions during a health check tied to a “Complete Care Plan”), staff cuddling/settling nervous pets, and supportive handling around end-of-life care (including a condolence card). A smaller number of recent reviews describe serious concerns, including a missed cancer concern, dissatisfaction with stitch quality after a procedure, and a complaint about how a dog with a heart murmur was handled during an attempted heart scan (long wait in a kennel and disagreement over sedation/handling).

Maidenhead Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group, and the practice describes itself as locally owned. Based on its listed facilities (including an in-house laboratory, operating theatre, digital X‑ray and ultrasound, ECG, isolation, and separate dog and cat wards), it appears set up for both routine care and more involved medical/surgical work. Specifics owners mention include dog neutering with vet Antony, cruciate ligament surgery followed by physiotherapy, and an appointment for a same-day vomiting puppy. Reviews also show mixed experiences around the front desk: some describe a welcoming team, while one owner felt reception communication was dismissive/curt even though the vet later reassured them.

Parkhill Vets Ltd is an RCVS Accredited Practice under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Practice Standards Scheme. Based on the available information, it presents itself as a “state of the art” practice and reviews describe consultations where a clear plan is agreed and pets are treated promptly, with owners reporting reassurance and good outcomes (including a dog “back to herself” after treatment).

Vets Now Barnet is part of the Vets Now network, set up specifically for out-of-hours emergency care for small animals and also offering video consultations. Recent reviews describe urgent cases being handled quickly (including an operation arranged “quite quickly”) with updates at agreed times, and inpatient/overnight care following major procedures. Experiences around cost are mixed: some owners say fees felt “shockingly expensive”, while others focus on the outcome (for example, a pet being saved after a blocked bladder emergency).

Beeston Vets4Pets Ltd is described on its website as a locally owned Vets4Pets practice. It’s set up as a modern, well-equipped clinic with on-site diagnostics (in-house lab work, digital X‑ray, ultrasound) and surgical facilities (operating theatre, isolation unit). Reviews available to us focus less on complex procedures and more on how the team handles routine care and ongoing support, with specific mentions of helpful registration and booking vaccinations/injections, and staff being “amazing” with rescue guinea pigs. The website also states that when the clinic is closed, emergency cover is provided through Vets Now Nottingham.

Companion Care (New Malden) Ltd operates under the Vets for Pets brand (website: vets4pets.com) and is set up as a modern, well-equipped small-animal practice with in-house diagnostics (lab, digital x-ray, dental x-ray, ultrasound) plus a hospital ward and isolation unit. Reviews strongly highlight care for exotic species alongside cats and dogs—particularly repeated mentions of an “exotic vet” (Maks/Max) treating reptiles and small mammals. Concrete examples owners describe include: an amputation for an injured tortoise with manageable post-op homecare instructions; a structured treatment plan for a hamster; and hands-on coaching for at-home injections for a leopard tortoise with an eye infection. For dogs and cats, owners mention a difficult-to-diagnose Addison’s Disease case being identified, followed by regular injection visits, and vets helping very stressed/feral cats tolerate examinations. There’s a clear split in experiences on cost/value: one recent review alleges repeated ineffective treatment for an eye issue and being sold a much more expensive eye solution than online, while others say pricing is “on par with others” and appreciate detailed explanations and willingness to consult experts.

Holmefield Veterinary Clinic Ltd offers general pet veterinary care, with a stated emergency service (24/7 or extended hours) and a “Pet Health Club” proactive healthcare plan mentioned on its website. Recent reviews describe vets explaining diagnoses and treatment options clearly, including a case where a rabbit was seen after official closing time and charged the daytime rate. Owners also mention the practice can handle larger/nervous dogs calmly (including a dog wary of men) and that staff can be helpful with insurance—though one reviewer reports being asked to pay a large amount upfront and claim back via insurance.

Saltburn Vets is an independently owned small animal practice run by vet Cate Titterton and her team (per the clinic website). Based on the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention clear communication, kind handling of difficult end‑of‑life decisions, and rapid same-day attention for urgent problems—alongside a smaller number of comments about too many repeat appointments or the practice “going downhill” compared with a previous owner. Concrete examples owners describe include: an urgent visit being seen straight away after a planned operation the day before; cancer treatment for an elderly dog; and multiple accounts of the team giving owners time and support during euthanasia.

Emscote Vets is a general small-animal practice that, based on recent reviews, sees both cats and dogs and runs a reminder system for routine care (owners mention prompts for vaccines and health checks). Reviewers repeatedly describe an organised front desk and a “personal” service, with specific staff members named for their support and communication. The clinic is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. While most recent written reviews are strongly positive, there is at least one recent 1‑star rating with no written detail available to explain why.
