Carrick Vets is a small-animal practice established in 1986. The website describes a broad first-opinion service (routine care through to surgery), plus dedicated referral services (orthopaedic, soft tissue, keyhole/laparoscopic surgery, and cardiology) and care for a wide range of non-traditional pets (including reptiles, birds, and aquarium fish). It also lists RCVS and Cat Friendly Clinic (Gold) accreditations, and notes on-site parking and disabled access. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention friendly staff and that pets are handled well; one review raises a concern about cost and “conduct,” indicating experiences aren’t uniformly positive.

Severn Edge Veterinary Group Ltd is part of the Severn Edge veterinary group and is set up for routine pet healthcare alongside urgent and emergency cover (listed as 24/7 or extended-hours emergency services), and it’s also identified as a veterinary nurse training facility. Owners’ recent experiences are mixed: several describe being offered immediate or short-notice appointments (including an urgent euthanasia visit for a distressed cat and a same-day tick issue), while a small number raise serious concerns about out-of-hours contact and billing/administration after treatment. Concrete examples from the latest reviews include: - An “immediate appointment” arranged by reception for a distressed cat, followed by euthanasia when there was “no option,” with the vet described as putting the cat’s needs first. - A short-notice visit for a tick on a puppy’s eyelid. - A “puppy pack” mentioned as including injections, microchip, flea/worm treatment, and insurance—alongside a complaint that the insurance couldn’t be used outside Severn Edge practices. - Conflicting accounts around aftercare/administration: one reviewer reports repeated payment requests after a pet died; another reports being told a £50 neutering voucher would be accepted, then later being asked to pay it anyway.

Hunt's Veterinary Clinics appears to operate as part of the Vets4Pets group (the listed website is vet4pets.co.uk). Based on client accounts, this practice is commonly used for routine care (puppy support, check-ups, injections) and minor same-day concerns (for example, a suspected tick removal close to closing time). Reviews also describe diagnostic work for lumps (needle sampling and lab testing) and onward referral for surgery—though one owner reports a serious breakdown in expectations around lump management and surgery arrangements. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Puppy “early stages” support, described as “holding our hand” through first-time ownership. - Check-ups and injections, including staff managing a stressed dog during the visit. - A thorough exam for a suspected tick that “wouldn’t come off,” accommodated quickly at the end of the day. - Needle sampling of a lump and sending it off for testing, followed by a referral rather than surgery at the planned appointment (as reported by one reviewer).

Animal Ark Veterinary Centre is accredited under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Standards Scheme and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Clinic data also indicates emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). From the latest reviews, owners describe a mix of experiences: some report clear explanations and options being discussed (including a dog needing full dental extractions), while others report being pushed toward invasive, expensive procedures with little explanation and say second opinions elsewhere did not support those recommendations. Practical policies also come up—one reviewer states they were turned away for arriving 15 minutes late due to a 5‑minute grace period and 15‑minute consultation slots, while another says they missed an appointment but were still accommodated shortly after. One review claims the practice is owned by Linnaeus (Mars group); this ownership isn’t confirmed by the other information provided here.

Vets Now is part of a larger emergency-vet group (the website describes 60+ clinics) providing out-of-hours care for small animals when regular practices are closed, including weekends and bank holidays. Reviews describe it being used for urgent, higher-stakes problems (seizures, breathing issues needing a blood transfusion, and end‑of‑life decisions), with vets discussing treatment options and providing medication. Experiences in the latest reviews are mixed on speed and cost: some owners say they were seen quickly and got back home within an hour, while one detailed review describes a multi-hour wait before treatment began. Cost is a repeated theme, including upfront payments mentioned in reviews.

Companion Care (Salford) Ltd is a Companion Care practice based inside a Pets at Home store, set up as a modern, well‑equipped clinic with an in‑house lab and pharmacy plus digital X‑ray and ultrasound. The website also lists an operating theatre, hospital ward and isolation unit, suggesting it can manage both routine appointments and more involved cases. In recent reviews, owners describe both strong clinical support (including a pyometra case and detailed medication reminders) and inconsistent communication at other times—particularly around test results and how “worst‑case” possibilities are explained. Multiple reviewers specifically single out reception/aftercare staff for keeping them informed during delays and for follow‑up support.
