Clifton Lodge Veterinary Group

Clifton Lodge Veterinary Group is a multi-branch practice that’s been operating since 1950. The website highlights 24/7 digital vet support via a partnership with VidiVet, aimed at helping owners decide whether something needs an emergency visit. Recent reviewers repeatedly mention the branch being open again (including “all day Thursday”) and describe staff handling nervous dogs calmly; however, at least one reviewer strongly criticises pricing and perceived value, claiming a very brief visit plus tablets cost £100.
