Aldervale Vets is part of Rase Veterinary Centre (a multi-site group) and is set up for both routine and more complex work, with RCVS Tier 3 accreditation and an onsite laboratory listed on its website. The practice also states it provides 24/7 out-of-hours emergency care for multiple small-animal practices within the Rase/Aldervale network (and for Vets4Pets Scunthorpe). In recent reviews, owners most often describe: - Access to urgent/emergency help (including a reviewer who says there’s always access to a vet somewhere in the group and mentions transport to/from a hospital “at no charge”). - Surgery being performed in-house, including a cat having two hernia surgeries. - End-of-life support, with multiple reviews specifically thanking the team for help when saying goodbye. There are also negatives in the latest reviews around continuity (seeing many different vets) and one serious complaint about difficulty obtaining repeat medication over 10 days.

Shield Veterinary Centre Ltd is a general veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility (stated in the clinic data). Ownership/group affiliation isn’t stated in the information provided. Based on the latest reviews, owners most often describe: - Prompt help for urgent problems (one reviewer called with an emergency and the pet was seen post-seizure; another says their dog was seen on the days he was “very poorly”). - A clean, pleasant practice environment (explicitly mentioned). - Support around end-of-life care, with a long-term client noting pets are treated “with sympathy and dignity” at the end of their time.

Kinfauns Veterinary Centre is presented on its website as a “family-friendly” practice with a tight-knit team; the clinic data also lists it as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (the exact out-of-hours setup isn’t specified in the inputs). Based on the latest reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care (boosters/immunisations and annual check-ups) as well as ongoing support for older pets (arthritis discussion and “further investigation” for age-related problems). Reviewers also describe practical handling for anxious animals (e.g., pre-visit tranquillisers for a very nervous rescue dog) and sensitive end-of-life care (a cat being put to sleep with attention to a child’s feelings). A recurring decision point in reviews is cost (several mention high prices), alongside isolated concerns about registration restrictions and one allegation of “money over care.”

Shires Veterinary Practice describes itself as providing “comprehensive veterinary care” for over 70 years (no corporate group ownership is stated). Recent reviews suggest the clinic is set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, health checks, parasite prevention via a health plan) as well as medical and dental work—especially for cats. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Rapid help for a sick cat after phoning, with the cat “back to full health” afterwards. - Dental assessments and proposed dental treatment for cats (scale/polish, dental X‑rays, and possible extractions were discussed in one review). - Vaccinations for rabbits, with time spent answering questions and keeping the visit calm for nervous travellers. - Reminder system for health checks and inoculations, and a health plan that includes NexGard Spectra chews (as described by one owner). One detailed negative review describes feeling pushed toward costly investigations/treatment without enough home-care advice, and raises concerns about inconsistency between vets over time.

Rase Veterinary Centre is part of a wider multi-surgery practice group (Rase Veterinary Centre / Aldervale Vets) rather than a single stand‑alone clinic. The website describes broad small‑animal provision including in‑house diagnostics and surgery, and states the group provides its own emergency out‑of‑hours cover across its practices. In reviews, owners give specific examples of help with urgent injuries (a dog seen when the team were closing, for a suspected fracture), straightforward preventative care (puppy vaccinations), and ongoing medication support via reception.

Goddard Veterinary Group is a multi-site veterinary group; this practice has been part of the Goddard Veterinary Group since 2003 and is RCVS accredited. Based on the website, it’s set up for routine GP care plus on-site diagnostics and procedures, with in-house lab work, X-ray/diagnostic imaging, and operations listed. In reviews, owners describe same-day appointments for injuries, and urgent treatment for toxin ingestion (raisins) where staff induced vomiting, checked the vomit to confirm the raisins were up, and waited after hours. Reviews also include a serious complaint alleging inconsistent diagnoses from locum vets and unexpected add-on treatments, so experiences appear mixed.

Highcroft Veterinary Group is a small-animal veterinary practice where recent reviewers repeatedly focus on how staff handle pets during visits—especially nurses and vets who help owners feel confident in the care being given. People mention long-term continuity (one client says they’ve used the practice for over 25 years across multiple pets), and a couple of practical, pet-focused touches such as having toys available for animals. Cost comes up too: one reviewer describes the care as knowledgeable but “always… expensive,” so value for money may feel different depending on your budget and expectations.

Guernsey Vets4Pets Ltd operates under the Vets4Pets brand (the website source references Vets4Pets as a nationwide group). Clinic data also lists it as a veterinary nurse training facility, and notes emergency veterinary services (described as 24/7 or extended hours). In reviews, owners most often describe being fit in quickly (including next‑day appointments) and clear, step‑by‑step communication, such as being kept informed through the day and having treatment and costs explained beforehand. A smaller number of comments raise a practical concern about the shared waiting area, with one owner describing an aggressive dog near cats and suggesting separate sections.

Downland Veterinary Group is a multi-vet practice (clients mention “all surgeries”) where recent reviews describe both routine care and more difficult moments such as end-of-life support. Owners specifically mention being able to get help at short notice for injuries (a cut paw pad) and vets taking time to handle pets gently during ongoing problems (one dog’s “rear end” issues). A key negative note in the latest reviews is one owner’s complaint that the clinic repeatedly refused antibiotics for recurring ear/paw problems until the dog’s condition became very severe.

Good Companions Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice that (per its website) has been caring for pets since the mid‑1970s, treating dogs, cats, rabbits and “a variety of smaller species.” Clinic data also lists it as a veterinary nurse training facility and offering emergency veterinary services (the specific out‑of‑hours arrangements aren’t stated in the information provided). Online booking is mentioned for vaccine appointments. Review details most often point to surgical/dental care and end‑of‑life support: one owner describes a cracked-tooth operation under general anaesthetic with frequent updates from vet Chloe, while multiple reviews describe euthanasia support (including a home visit and memorial keepsakes like a pawprint and fur). A minority view strongly conflicts with this, alleging rushed appointments, poor explanations around a complex illness, refusal of a payment plan, and an upsetting debt-collection voicemail later (which the reviewer says was ultimately resolved).
