Vets Now Kendal is part of the Vets Now network (60+ clinics) and focuses on pet emergency care, including out-of-hours and holiday cover when other practices are closed, plus video consultations. Based on reviews, the clinic often runs as a controlled-entry service (one reviewer described being asked screening questions by phone and then being buzzed in on arrival). Cases mentioned include urgent illness in a rabbit (suspected GI stasis), dogs needing emergency assessment with diagnostics, and end-of-life support where owners were given time and clear options. Experiences are mixed: many reviews describe thorough explanations and reassuring diagnostics (blood tests and a scan), while a minority describe problems at reception and a rushed, low-empathy consultation, plus billing/insurance paperwork delays.

Border Vets is a veterinary practice that, based on reviews, sees a mix of pets including dogs, horses and small pets (a hamster is specifically mentioned). Emergency veterinary services are listed in the clinic data. Recent reviewers describe being seen promptly, having thorough examinations, and getting treatments explained clearly; one owner also highlights calm handling of a nervous dog. A minority of reviewers report the opposite experience—regular long waits for appointments, high costs (described as “London prices”), and concerns about staff retention and quality of care. One reviewer alleges the practice was bought by a large business, but no group name is provided.

Concrete specifics mentioned: - Staff giving “questions and advice” and helping customers find what they need. - Animal tags being ordered/received, with specific mention of help navigating DEFRA. - Stock described as ranging from farm clothing and feed to compost and bird seed. - Some reviews discuss logistics/collections (e.g., “fast loading” and overnight parking), suggesting a working farm-supply setup.

Tarn Farm Vets is an independent farm animal veterinary practice that is part of Paragon Veterinary Group and affiliated with XLVets. The practice is set up primarily for farm and herd/flock work (routine pre-booked visits are described as a large proportion of their calls), with 24/7 emergency cover stated as at least two dedicated farm vets on call 365 days a year. The website also highlights specialist goat services and consultancy, plus a support team of vet techs offering practical on-farm procedures (for example stress-free disbudding and calf vaccinations). Google shows a 5-star rating, but the latest reviews available to us don’t include written detail, so they don’t add specifics about day-to-day experiences.
