Best Vets in England

Medivet Carterton (Jackson Vets) is part of the Medivet group and is set up for routine care alongside urgent same-day problems. In recent reviews, owners mention being offered a same-day appointment for a dog with pancreatitis, pets having procedures such as spaying, and staff stepping in with practical help (for example, cleaning a distressed cat that soiled during travel before vaccinations). The clinic is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The Medivet website information also references a time-limited free Mobility Pain Check promotion.

Lordswood Vets Limited is an RCVS-accredited veterinary clinic that advertises a 24-hour emergency service, as well as cat microchipping and exotic animal services. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention long-term use of the practice (“been coming here for years”) and describe vets and nurses as skilful and the clinic as having a calm, “chilled” atmosphere. Concrete specifics supported by the inputs: - RCVS Accreditation is stated on the website summary. - A 24-hour emergency service is explicitly listed on the website summary. - Exotic animal services are listed on the website summary (suggesting it’s set up for more than just cats and dogs). - Reviews mention help with a “little dog” and praise both vets and nurses.

Fernside Veterinary Centre Ltd is a small-animal practice (dogs, cats and a range of small pets including rabbits and ferrets). Ownership/group affiliation isn’t stated in the information provided. The clinic offers routine care alongside more advanced options such as chemotherapy and therapeutic laser therapy, plus home visits and pet travel documentation. Emergency support is available via the practice during normal opening hours; out of hours, clients are referred to the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals for dedicated emergency care. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe practical, end-to-end support: guidance for a new kitten owner “from preparing… to navigating those first weeks,” a “small procedure” for a cavapoo described as “first class,” and sensitive handling around end-of-life after a cat was hit by a car.

Morpeth Vets4Pets operates under the Vets4Pets brand; the practice website notes a new owner, Seb Morgan, and describes a modern, well‑equipped clinic with an on‑site lab, imaging, theatre and separate dog/cat warding. It’s set up for both routine care (boosters, ear cleans, nurse clinics) and more involved cases (soft‑tissue surgery, dentistry with dental X‑ray, hospitalisation/isolation). Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations during appointments, surgery aftercare (including a toe amputation), and at least one example of follow‑up by text the next day to check on both pet and owner. Pricing feedback is mixed: some reviewers describe transparent estimates and options, while one review alleges a very high charge for flea medication and poor handling of criticism.

Grange Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (described as 24/7 or extended-hours in the clinic data). From the latest reviews, it appears set up for owners who want clear explanations and active follow-up—one owner describes being seen within 30 minutes for an urgent case, having bloods taken to investigate suspected meningitis, and being referred immediately to a specialist hospital, followed by next-day check-in calls from the vet. Other practical points mentioned include being seen on time, staff answering owners’ concerns, and text reminders for when treatment is due. Reviews are mostly positive, though one owner notes it can feel “a bit pricey.”

Churnet Valley Veterinary Clinic Ltd describes itself as an independent small‑animal practice, established in early 2000 by Pat Kinch, and it is also a veterinary nurse training practice. Based on its website and recent reviews, the clinic appears set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, worming, microchipping, wellness exams) as well as surgery and emergency care, with owners giving specific examples including dental work (10 teeth removed) and treatment for a ruptured cruciate ligament. Reviewers repeatedly mention being seen quickly, having care tailored to the pet, and receiving direct, clear advice from Pat.

Ash Tree Vets is a long-established small-animal practice (no corporate group stated) treating dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters. The website highlights in-house capability in ultrasonography, cardiology, orthopaedics, medicine and soft tissue surgery, plus IIE Accreditation. In the latest reviews, owners most often describe calm, practical handling during appointments—such as using blankets over carriers for nervous pets, sitting on the floor with rabbits rather than using a high table, and providing routine care like vaccinations, worming tablets and claw clipping with support from veterinary nurses. One named vet (“Nick”) is repeatedly described as direct and clear in explanations.

Cornish Paws Veterinary Practice is described as a veterinary nurse training facility (this is explicitly listed in the clinic data). Owners’ reviews most often point to unrushed consults with detailed explanations and structured, proactive communication around procedures—for example, pre-op reminder calls, transparent pricing discussions, post-op updates, and booked follow-ups after a spay. Concrete examples mentioned in reviews include: - Spay care with multiple updates: a reminder call the day before, a call about 2 hours after drop-off to confirm the dog was out of surgery, and a later call to confirm collection time; feeding/watering and toilet break before discharge; after-care info and a follow-up appointment booked. - Low-stress handling for cats: one vet let a cat come out of the carrier in their own time, didn’t restrain unnecessarily, and explained findings in detail. - Routine preventative care referenced: boosters plus flea and worm treatments. One recent review reports a serious issue: a refusal to provide vaccination treatment for a new puppy following a prior disagreement with a family member, with the reviewer stating they did not receive an email the practice said had been sent.

Crouch Vale Veterinary Practice is an independently run clinic (owned and managed by a vet and her family). Based on the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for routine pet healthcare alongside common in-practice diagnostics and procedures, with facilities including a surgical theatre, X‑ray, and in‑house blood testing. Recent reviews point to practical access for urgent problems (people describe being fitted in the same day, including a “sit and wait” appointment) and quick nurse-led help for small emergencies (a tick was removed immediately, with take-home tick removers and instructions). The practice also appears to put time into ongoing support such as weight checks/weight management mentioned by clients.

Paws in the City describes itself as an independent veterinary clinic and also runs a busy in-clinic grooming service. The website highlights routine care (consultations, vaccinations, neutering, dentistry) plus access to more advanced workups/surgery areas such as orthopaedics, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, ophthalmology and diagnostic imaging (via specialist partnerships). Recent reviews are dominated by grooming experiences—owners repeatedly mention detailed pre-groom discussions about the cut, pets coming back calm after baths, and extra touches like bows; one recent vet visit review also describes a leg injury assessment where options were explained clearly.
