Best Vets in England

Concrete details owners mention include

• •A dog’s abdominal surgery for an undescended testicle, with the owner reporting supportive care and good recovery. - Euthanasia support where staff reportedly gave time and space to say goodbye and helped the owner feel reassured about the decision. - A dispute about in-clinic retail pricing and refunds for a dental supplement (ProDen PlaqueOff Powder), where a reviewer says an unopened return was refused.

Companion Care (Norwich Longwater) Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets/Companion Care group (as described on its practice website). The practice presents itself as a fully equipped small-animal clinic with dedicated in‑house facilities including an operating theatre, dentistry area, separate cat/dog wards plus an isolation ward, an in‑house laboratory and pharmacy, and imaging (digital X‑ray and ultrasound).

The Net Vet is a small-animal practice that reviewers most often describe using for cats and dogs, including senior-pet care and same-practice continuity after trying another vet. Based on recent written reviews, the clinic appears set up for both routine consultations and more involved medical/surgical work (e.g., investigating lumps and performing tumour removal), but experiences reported around communication and follow-through are mixed.

Southend Victoria Vets4Pets is part of the Vets4Pets/Companion Care group (per the clinic website). Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, neutering) as well as in-practice procedures and follow-up checks (one owner describes an operation followed by several days of post-op check-ups). Multiple reviewers also describe being fitted in quickly when worried (a limping dog, a cat with a swollen eye), while a minority of reviews raise concerns about pricing transparency and handling of urgent cases.

• •Fast access for urgent problems: examples include an emergency appointment within two hours and a same-day slot for a tail injury. - Hospitalisation with frequent updates: owners mention pets staying one to three days/nights and receiving regular phone calls about progress. - Communication quality is inconsistent: one reviewer describes being kept well-informed during serious illness; another reports a wild bird was euthanised without the requested prior call and that no clear notes/explanation were available afterward.

St Austell Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group. The clinic is set up for a wide range of routine and in-house diagnostic work (for example, laboratory testing and imaging), plus dentistry and orthopaedics, with facilities including separate cat and dog waiting areas and separate wards. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations of findings and treatment options, follow-up after procedures (including a next-day check-in call after dental work), and handling urgent problems such as ear infections with in-house swabs and microscope assessment.

Village Vet Highgate is part of the Village Vet group (a multi-site chain). Based on the clinic’s own information, it positions itself around both preventative care and treating illness, with a menu that includes nurse clinics and longer-term management (senior pet care, nutrition/obesity) as well as treatment options such as internal medicine, dental care, hydrotherapy and laser therapy. Out-of-hours and emergency cases are directed to the group’s Hampstead practice, which is described as open 24/7 for emergency pet care.

The Mount Veterinary Practice is an independent practice (described by reviewers as “not a franchise”), and it’s also an RCVS Accredited Vet Nurse Training Practice. The website indicates it handles a wide range of small pets (including dogs, cats and several small mammals) and offers out-of-hours service. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly describe unrushed consultations with clear explanations, and several mention end-of-life support with thoughtful aftercare (for example, providing a paw print and a small keepsake of fur when ashes were ready).
