Frame and Swift Ltd
Penrith
Our Score (80/100)
Frame and Swift Ltd is an independent mixed veterinary practice treating farm, equine and small animals. The website highlights in-house CT, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery, laser surgery, and hospitalisation, alongside facilities such as an equine operating theatre, stabling/paddocks, four consultation rooms, and extensive kennelling. It also states a full out-of-hours service with on-call staff available 24 hours a day. Recent reviews strongly praise the vets’ explanations and handling of pets (including keeping cats notably relaxed during appointments and smooth recovery after neutering), but there’s a clear conflict around front-desk/management experiences: two reviewers describe rudeness, confusing repeat invoicing, and problems leaving without medication.

Alexander Veterinary Centre
Barrow-In-Furness
Our Score (79/100)
Alexander Veterinary Centre offers general veterinary care with on-site diagnostic and treatment facilities, including modern surgery and dentistry, an in-house laboratory, and imaging (X-ray and ultrasound) plus ECG. The clinic also states it provides emergency care, and one review describes late-night treatment after a cat was attacked by a dog. Based on the latest reviews available to us, owners often mention thorough explanations (for example, a vet discussing a young dog’s growth in detail and answering questions), but there are also serious negative reports: one reviewer describes a major medication error, and another describes poor communication and follow-up around euthanasia as well as an automated vaccination reminder two weeks later. The website notes participation in the IVC Evidensia “Positive Pawprint Partner” scheme and references Pet Health Club®.

Forrest Home Vets is a general veterinary practice with facilities owners describe as clean, and appointments that some reviewers say run quickly with a not-crowded waiting room. Reviews include specific examples of handling anxious pets (e.g., giving a booster vaccine to a nervous cat while still in the carrier) and support during very sick/end‑of‑life cases (one family mentions staff doing what they could for a critically ill chihuahua). Feedback is mixed on front-desk and some clinical interactions: several recent reviews praise friendliness and patience, while a small number describe a particular receptionist as rude and one review describes inconsistent instructions and a poor experience with a vet identified as a clinical director.

Richard Martin House
Carlisle
Our Score (74/100)
Richard Martin House is linked (via the provided website summary) to Craig Robinson Vets, a practice offering care for both pets and farm animals, with diagnostics, a “Happy Paws” health plan, and guidance for travelling abroad with your pet. Out-of-hours care is mentioned on the website. The clinic is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The available Google reviews are hard to use for choosing a vet: they repeatedly describe a “mental health”/“person centred care” organisation at “Kirk House,” which doesn’t clearly match the veterinary services described on the website.
