Medivet Buxton – Vets in Buxton
Clinic Overview
- Owners frequently mention friendly, caring and professional staff, with pets described as being handled calmly and kindly. - Communication is a consistent strength: reviewers say the vet explains treatment clearly and takes time to answer questions properly. - Several reviews describe the team as helpful beyond the appointment itself, including support with practical questions about behaviour and insurance.
Medivet Buxton is part of the Medivet veterinary group. It appears set up for routine small-pet care, with dogs and cats specifically mentioned, and access to Medivet’s wider overnight emergency service. Recent feedback continues to highlight clear explanations, caring handling, and a friendly, helpful front desk. The main drawback mentioned is that the branch is not open every day, which can make local appointments harder to get at times.
Services
- •Routine consultations and check-ups for day-to-day small-pet care, with recent reviews mentioning dogs attending for check-ups and cats being treated at the practice.
- •Vaccinations, including first puppy vaccinations; one owner described a thorough first visit for two puppies and said the vet handled them gently.
- •General veterinary treatment and consultations, with owners repeatedly mentioning that the vet explained treatment clearly and answered questions in an easy-to-understand way.

Pricing
