Island Equine Veterinary Services is an equine-only practice offering both ambulatory care and a haul-in clinic, with hospitalization available. The clinic advertises 24/7 emergency coverage, and recent reviews describe rapid response in emergencies—one owner credits the vets with saving a horse’s life twice by quickly assessing a colic case and getting the horse to an equine hospital for surgery, then providing attentive post-op guidance through complications. Owners also mention thorough exams, clear explanations of risks and treatment plans (including hands-on instruction for at-home care like soaking a hoof), and vets who take time to teach during routine visits.

Archway Veterinary Centre is a mixed practice that treats small animals, farm animals and equines, and has been operating since the 1920s. The website states 24/7 routine and emergency care is available via its hospital branch. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe practical access and low-stress handling—such as being offered a same-day appointment when a dog was “quite sick,” being seen quickly when a case is urgent, and staff letting a nervous dog “do his dog thing” rather than pushing them in confined spaces. Reviews also mention a “Friends Club” with regular wellbeing checks, plus owners popping in for weight checks.

Jersey Village Vets Ltd describes itself as a long‑established practice for domestic pets and states it is staffed and equipped to meet pets’ veterinary and health needs. The website and structured clinic data both state that 24/7 emergency services are available, and the clinic is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Review details available to us are mostly brief but include one specific account of a dog being sedated for nail trimming and paw-pad grooming, with the owner saying the nurse reassured them and the work was done at a “reasonable price.” There is also a detailed negative review describing repeated, inconsistent skin-condition diagnoses, limited follow‑up, and a blood-test letter reportedly not being opened, alongside later discovery of additional serious illness after changing practice.
