Best Vets in England

Beverley Vets4Pets is part of the Vets4Pets group and is described on its website as a locally owned practice. The clinic appears set up for routine care plus in‑practice diagnostics and surgery, with an in‑house laboratory, digital X‑ray, ultrasound, and an operating theatre listed on the website. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: - Quick access to appointments, including being seen within about half an hour in one case. - Clear explanations in plain language, with one owner describing being met at the door by the vet and an assistant and having everything explained “in layman terms.” - Follow-through after procedures, including a dog’s spay where stitches were described as “clean and neat” and aftercare was booked in. - Longer-term problem management, such as a dog’s chronic ear infection being cleared after recurring for nearly two years.

Medivet Burton-on-Trent is part of the Medivet group and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic provides routine care (vaccinations and check-ups) and is also discussed in reviews in the context of operations and post-op care. For emergencies, the website states clients have access to 24-hour emergency care via Medivet’s network of 27 centres, with a nationwide out-of-hours consultation fee of £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am. From the latest reviews, some owners describe staff taking time to explain options and helping with practical issues (for example, arranging for a pet to come in so the team can apply flea/worm treatment when the owner was struggling). Others report the opposite—feeling appointments were rushed, their cat wasn’t properly examined when difficult to handle, and that costs were discussed more than care.

Oxford Cat Clinic Botley is a cat-only veterinary practice. Based on its website and recent reviews, it’s set up for routine feline care (kittens through adults) and for handling medical issues that can be stressful for cats and owners. Owners describe a very clean clinic environment, clear explanations of next steps, and supportive care in difficult moments (including euthanasia). Specific situations mentioned in reviews include treating an eye infection, providing flea treatment during a check-up, and helping manage ongoing allergy-related problems in a “nightmare cat”.

Medivet Horncastle is part of the Medivet group and sees a mix of routine and more involved cases for cats, dogs, rabbits and other small mammals. The clinic advertises 15‑minute consultations, nurse clinics and in-house diagnostics (laboratory, X‑ray and ultrasound), with out‑of‑hours care provided by Vets Now (as stated on the practice website). From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention pets being settled at the clinic (including a dog staying in for the day after an operation) and staff using practical touches like greeting pets with treats. One recent review sharply conflicts with this overall tone, alleging a major last‑minute change to an estimated cost for a tail amputation.

High Wycombe Vets4Pets Ltd describes itself as a locally owned Vets4Pets practice with a modern, well‑equipped clinic (including an in‑house laboratory, pharmacy, digital X‑ray, ultrasound and dental facilities). Based on its stated equipment and service list, it appears set up for routine care through to more advanced diagnostics and surgery (including orthopaedics and cancer treatment). From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention: - Fitting in urgent cases when needed (one reviewer says the team “managed to open up an appointment” for an urgent concern). - Support through difficult end‑of‑life decisions, with specific thanks to named team members. - A clean, bright facility (explicitly mentioned in one review), alongside repeated comments about friendly staff.

Bridge Street Veterinary Practice is a small-animal clinic that treats cats, dogs and several small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters). The website lists a broad “general practice” set-up—surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, vaccinations and nurse clinics—and it also states the practice offers emergency vet services. It’s a Cat Friendly Clinic and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention clear communication and reassurance during stressful visits, plus follow-up phone calls after a cat’s visits, and being fitted in at short notice for an urgent appointment.

Grove Lodge Veterinary Group offers routine appointments alongside an out-of-hours arrangement with Vets Now for emergencies when the practice is closed. The clinic is accredited as a Gold Cat Friendly Clinic, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews most often describe a calm, patient experience—especially for cats and kittens—including staff taking time to answer lots of questions, and gentle handling to reduce stress. There is at least one very negative recent review (“Aw[e]ful experience”) without details, alongside a positive review from the same author, so experiences reported are not fully consistent. Concrete specifics owners mention: - Kitten first-visit care including vaccines, health check, and nail clipping. - Staff described as patient with “a million questions” during appointments. - Gentle, reassuring handling of cats to help them (and owners) feel at ease. - A Pet Health Club® Plus plan is mentioned on the website, with consultations included (no prices stated).

Medivet Stapleford is part of the Medivet group (a network of practices). Based on the website and recent reviews, it’s set up for routine preventative care and common procedures (vaccinations/boosters, parasite treatments, and neutering), with access to Medivet’s 24-hour emergency centres if needed. Recent reviewers repeatedly mention straightforward booking and being seen promptly for urgent-but-routine needs (for example, a newly adopted stray kitten being wormed, flea-treated and vaccinated). One reviewer raises a concern about continuity, saying there is “no permanent vet,” while others describe thorough consultations and reassuring care (including around a same-day castration).

Kings Road Veterinary Surgery is a general veterinary practice (ownership/group not stated) that, based on client reports, handles both day-to-day medical issues and surgical cases—alongside supportive care for difficult, end-of-life situations. The practice also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - Surgery performed quickly when needed: one review describes a ruptured tail-base lump being assessed and then removed the next day, extending the dog’s comfortable life for years. - Out-of-hours support via Vidivet: the clinic states clients can message a vet anytime for instant emergency advice through Vidivet. - Support through euthanasia/last days: owners describe staff helping make “a truly difficult situation as good as it possibly could be.” - Help with challenging behaviour/young dogs: one review mentions patient, accommodating support with a “tricky puppy.”

Calder Vets Ltd is a veterinary hospital set up for both routine care and complex cases, with 24-hour emergency and out-of-hours cover stated on its website. The facilities listed include advanced diagnostics (MRI/CT, endoscopy), an in-house lab and pharmacy, three surgical theatres, and separate wards for cats, dogs and rabbits—suggesting it can manage inpatient and higher-acuity work as well as day-to-day consults. Recent reviews describe urgent, time-sensitive care (including pneumonia treatment supported with an oxygen tent) and owners being kept updated during hospitalisation. One review also mentions the team securing a referral to Paragon when needed. End-of-life care is also specifically referenced, with an owner thanking the team for making a dog’s final moments “so special.”
