Buchanan Veterinary Group is a small-animal practice established in 1979 and part of the CVS group (the practice website is hosted on the CVS vets domain; some reviewers also raise concerns about corporate ownership). It’s set up for routine preventive care and general practice work (vaccinations, parasite control, neutering, microchipping, diagnostics), with arrangements for out-of-hours emergencies via PetMedics Veterinary Surgeons. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe: - extra time taken with anxious pets (one owner said their dog went from anxious to “tail wagging on the examination table” during vaccinations) - supportive end-of-life care and help around ashes/cremation arrangements (named staff were thanked for compassion) - a mixed picture on cost and motivation: some praise the service and say they weren’t rushed, while others strongly criticise a perceived focus on profit.

Hatchmoor Veterinary Practice treats both small animals and horses (per its website). No corporate ownership/group is stated in the available information. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours listed), with reviews specifically mentioning weekend and night call-outs and phone advice. Recent reviews repeatedly describe: - Urgent same-day/short-notice care (e.g., a cat “seen… at very short notice”; a dog assessed when suddenly unwell). - In-house procedures and operations, including dental extractions and other surgeries for horses and dogs. - A straight-talking communication style attributed to the vet “Gavin,” with some owners preferring this focus on the animal over “flowery words.” - Clinical examples mentioned include treatment for HGE (haemorrhagic gastroenteritis) and a suspected respiratory/tracheal virus, with medication given and recovery reported.

Vets Now Barton le Clay is part of the Vets Now group and is set up specifically for emergency/out‑of‑hours pet care, including the option of video consultations via the wider Vets Now service. Recent reviews describe urgent, practical interventions (for example, flushing a blocked urinary catheter and draining a bladder) and end‑of‑life support where owners were given time to say goodbye. Several reviewers mention being seen quickly and getting clear explanations during stressful visits. There are also notes that the facilities “could do with an upgrade,” and one owner was upset when their rabbit was taken to a calm room without being told first (the clinic explanation was that pets are given time to settle before the vet consult).

Palmerston Veterinary Group is a long-established practice (established in 1986; the website also describes “over 55 years of experience”) with RCVS Practice Standards Scheme membership and Cat Friendly Clinic status. The clinic advertises in-house diagnostics (digital X‑ray and ultrasound), surgical procedures, and nurse clinics, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. In recent reviews, owners most often mention being fitted in quickly for urgent problems (one report of being seen within 20 minutes) and clear, unhurried support during end-of-life appointments (explaining the process and giving families time).

Village Vet Primrose Hill is part of the Village Vet group (joined in 2016) and is described on its website as mainly a consulting practice, with more surgical and diagnostic work handled through a larger sister branch. The clinic lists routine and preventive care (vaccinations, microchipping, parasite treatment, annual health checks) alongside ongoing-care areas like senior pet care, nutrition/obesity management, dental care and internal medicine. Out-of-hours emergencies are directed to a 24/7 Village Vet practice. Recent reviews are mixed: some owners say they can “always get an appointment when needed” and that things are explained clearly, while others describe feeling pushed toward extra tests/treatments, report a high bill for a straightforward issue, or raise concerns about handling during procedures (including one account of a prolonged blood draw).

Medivet Notting Hill Chepstow Corner is part of the Medivet group (a corporate veterinary chain). Based on its website, it’s set up for routine and preventative care plus some in-house diagnostics (including ultrasound and an in-house lab), with separate dog/cat accommodation and air-conditioned facilities. Out-of-hours care is handled by Medivet 24 Hour Kensington, with a stated £130 consult fee and free phone assessment. In the latest reviews available, several cat owners describe calm, low-stress consultations (“most relaxed my cat has been in a vets”) and mention supportive handling of a serious feline health issue, including referral onward to a specialist centre. However, there’s also a detailed negative account of lump removal with concerns about wound closure and aftercare, and a separate complaint that the clinic was sometimes unstaffed/phones unanswered despite being “open”.

Drake Vets Ltd describes itself as an independent practice and is RCVS Accredited. The clinic advertises full surgical, diagnostic imaging, and dental facilities, including laparoscopic spays, plus nurse clinics. It also states that out‑of‑hours care is provided by their own vets, with callers to the usual number being directed to dedicated out‑of‑hours care when the clinic is closed. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe urgent/emergency support (including a Sunday visit and a 15‑minute call‑back at 5:30am after a post‑op concern) and practical, hands-on help (for example, staff cleaning up after a dog was sick in the waiting room). One review also highlights the team rearranging schedules to accommodate surgery for a stray cat with extensive medical needs.

Poplar Vets is a small‑animal clinic for dogs, cats and other small pets, with in‑house diagnostic facilities mentioned on its website (X‑rays and ultrasound) and a broad menu of services including routine care, surgery and dental work. The website also states emergency vet services are provided and that the practice is a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews paint a mixed picture: some owners describe detailed cost explanations before treatment, quick access to short‑notice appointments when a pet’s condition changes, and proactive follow‑up calls/updates; others allege disorganisation, attempted overcharging for a heart scan (£1,000 quoted vs £600 elsewhere), and serious concerns about clinical judgement/handling of a long‑term lump that was reportedly not tested until much later.

Myerscough Veterinary Group is part of a wider multi-branch practice (11 branches, under the “MyVets” branding). From the information available, this branch appears to provide core first-opinion care (e.g., kitten vaccinations, neutering) but some owners describe difficulty accessing appointments and being redirected to the group’s main centre for sooner care. Review experiences are mixed: some describe kind staff and smooth handling of routine procedures, while others report long waits, cancellations, and frustration around prescriptions. Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - Being offered a vaccination slot “straight away” after struggling to get seen elsewhere (kitten vaccinations). - A cat neuter with a quick recovery reported by one owner. - An owner reporting a quoted cost of £38 to see a vet and £16 for a prescription (and later being told prescriptions would take 7 days). - Follow-up sympathy card sent after euthanasia, which one family found meaningful.

Willett House Veterinary Surgeons is a multi-site veterinary practice with a main site and several branch practices. From the practice’s own information, it offers 24/7 emergency care and lists CT scanning and keyhole (laparoscopic) bitch spay among its services. Owner feedback is mixed: some reviews describe friendly, professional staff, while others raise concerns about access/availability (“sign says open. Never is”) and a specific case where a dog seen for an emergency appointment was given pain relief but not antibiotics, with the owner later reporting a chronic infection diagnosed after blood and urine tests at another branch.
