Best Vets in England

Donaldson's Farm and Equine appears focused on farm and equine work (as indicated by the clinic name). From the latest reviews, owners highlight a team that’s “always on hand to offer help and advise,” described as professional, and covering both clinical and admin support (“from specialist vet to clerical”). One reviewer also notes support “at all hours,” suggesting responsiveness outside typical appointment times (as reported by that client).

Isle of Man Vets for Pets describes itself as a locally owned small-animal general practice. The clinic highlights separate cat and dog waiting areas and separated dog/cat wards plus isolation units, alongside an in-house lab and operating theatre. The latest written reviews available to us are limited (a single reviewer), but they specifically mention a “lovely receptionist” and a “helpful friendly vet.” The website also states that an out-of-hours emergency service is available.

Concrete specifics mentioned include

• •Blood tests for a dog with seizures were taken, and the owner reports difficulty getting results discussed without paying for another consult. - A review cites £43 for a ~5-minute consultation to check ongoing medication. - Reception/front desk manner is criticised in one recent review (“rude and unwelcoming”), while other reviewers simply state they’ve used the clinic for years and are happy with the service.

Tiggywinkles is a free wildlife hospital (run as a charity, per reviews) focused on sick, injured, and orphaned British wildlife. The website describes it as operating 24/7, 365 days a year, treating over 13,000 animals annually and over 300,000 since it began (started over 40 years ago by the Stocker family). Recent reviews strongly centre on people bringing in injured wildlife (for example, hedgehogs and a bird that couldn’t fly), with owners describing swift triage, staff providing reference numbers for follow-up, and a policy of not turning animals away.

Community Pet Clinic appears to be tied to Jollyes (the website and reviewer references describe “Jollyes” and a store-based setup), rather than a standalone independent practice. The information available suggests it supports multiple species (dogs, cats, birds, small pets, reptiles and fish) and uses an external out‑of‑hours provider when the store is closed. Recent feedback is mixed: some reviews describe the in-clinic appointment itself as “fine,” while others describe rigid vaccination timing and an online-only booking process as frustrating.

• •Owners frequently mention routine care such as health checks and injections, with staff described as taking time to settle anxious pets before examinations. - Several reviews highlight cat care, including neutering and follow-up visits, with one owner bringing two cats for treatment over a short period and specifically praising the vet’s compassion. - Practical, specific touches come up: being seen early when the clinic was quiet, and staff explaining options like the Pet Health Club versus paying per visit.

YourVets appears to be part of the YourVets veterinary group (as described on the group’s website). In the latest reviews available, owners describe it handling urgent cat emergencies (being told to come straight in and the cat being taken in immediately) and providing end‑of‑life support, including mention of a calming room with a sofa to sit with a pet. Reviews also point to a clinic set up for cats in the waiting area, with raised platforms for cat carriers.

Atherton Veterinary Centre lists routine preventative care (vaccinations, microchipping, wellness screening) alongside dental work and support clinics run by nurses, and it states it offers emergency vet services. The information provided doesn’t state whether the practice is independent or part of a corporate group. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention staff taking time to explain options and provide advice, including one same-morning urgent case where a guinea pig was admitted and operated on that morning after an abscess burst and bled heavily.
