Best Vets in England

Cromwell Veterinary Group describes itself as a long-established practice (“serving … for over 100 years”) with six modern practices and a dedicated rehabilitation centre. The website also states that access to emergency out-of-hours treatment is available. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention clear, detailed explanations (including how to give medications at home), supportive reception/nurse teams, and prompt appointments—alongside a small number of negative experiences around handling/exam technique (one reviewer saying a vet “wouldn’t touch” their cat; another saying a booster injection made their dog squeal).

Caister Vets, Rollesby is an independent, vet-owned practice established in 2017 and expanded in 2023 with a modern, purpose-built facility. The website describes a full range of consultations, diagnostic, and surgical services, and reviews add detail on what that looks like in practice: eye cases are repeatedly mentioned (including corneal ulcers and a cat eye removal), and one reviewer describes being seen within a couple of hours with the practice contacting their usual vet to obtain medical history ahead of the appointment. A recurring theme is not pushing unnecessary spend (for example, one owner reports being helped at reception with a paste rather than being steered into a paid consultation), but there is also a clear operational complaint about very long waits to have phone calls answered.

Market Harborough Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets chain and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe a calm, friendly experience alongside practical touches like post-op updates—one owner received a WhatsApp message and photo after their kitten’s spay and microchip procedure. Reviews also mention staff taking time to listen and explain options, and handling nervous pets gently (including giving a vaccination without the dog noticing).

Christchurch Veterinary Referrals is an independent small-animal referral centre established in 2001, specialising in surgery (including orthopaedic, complex soft tissue, neurosurgery and spinal procedures). The website highlights advanced on-site facilities including in-house MRI and CT, plus three operating theatres. Recent reviews describe detailed surgical planning and strong post-op communication, such as sending recovery photos after anaesthetic and thorough aftercare.

Medivet Warrington is part of the Medivet group. It offers routine care (including 15‑minute consultations) with on-site diagnostic support such as an in-house laboratory, X‑rays and ultrasound, plus procedures like dentistry and endoscopy. Reviews describe specific touches such as offering earlier appointments when cancellations come up and a handwritten condolence card after a pet’s death; one reviewer also notes repeated delays of 30+ minutes past appointment time.

Clevedon Vets4Pets Ltd is a locally owned Vets4Pets practice and states it is taking new clients. The website describes facilities for in-practice diagnostics and procedures (including an in-house laboratory, operating theatre, ultrasound and X‑ray, plus separate dog and cat wards and an isolation unit). Recent reviews give concrete examples of detailed explanations of options, gentle handling during exams/treatments, and frequent updates during inpatient care (including a cat monitored over two days).

The Young Veterinary Partnership describes itself as an independent practice with over 60 years’ experience and a team that includes nine vets, qualified nurses and receptionists. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and more complex cases, with the website highlighting digital X‑ray, ultrasound, dentistry, laser therapy, and keyhole (laparoscopic) spays. Recent reviews include both routine procedures (neutering, microchipping) and urgent/surgical cases, including an emergency operation for a uterine infection and a kitten hospitalised overnight after suspected pelvic fractures.
