Ark Veterinary Surgery is a long-established practice (over 50 years) with RCVS Tier II status as a small animal general practice. The website states it provides 24-hour help and advice, and it treats small animals as well as exotic pets. Recent reviews describe both routine-friendly visits (clean environment, short waits, a dedicated “cat calming” area) and more intense situations including wound treatment and euthanasia for an exotic pet. One recurring negative note is cost and follow-through on agreed add-on care: one reviewer reports paying over £1,000 for cat stitches and says de-matting that was meant to be done while the cat was under anaesthetic didn’t happen.

Hunters Bar Veterinary Group – Dronfield is a long‑established small‑animal practice and part of CVS (the clinic email domain is `cvsvets.co.uk`). The clinic is set up for routine care and procedures (consultations, surgery and dentistry) with on‑site diagnostics including X‑ray and ultrasound. The website also lists less common options such as acupuncture, plus nurse clinics for practical treatments like parasite control and nail clipping. In the latest written reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe staff taking time to explain upcoming operations and helping stressed cats during hands‑on treatments; one reviewer also alleges the practice is a “cash grab,” which conflicts with the otherwise positive feedback.
