Ambivet Veterinary Group is a small-animal practice established in 1979 and listed as an RCVS General Practice. The website describes a broad routine-and-surgical setup (including on-site lab, ultrasound and X‑ray) and an out-of-hours arrangement that provides free telephone advice and emergency consultations via another Ambivet branch. Recent reviews are mixed on cost: some owners describe pricing as “very reasonable,” while others report feeling overcharged (including one review citing £850 for a mass removal plus £200 for restapling after the wound opened). Clinically, owners most often mention clear explanations before procedures (including diagrams) and aftercare following dental surgery.

GEM Equine Ltd is an equine-only veterinary practice offering both mobile (“portable”) diagnostics and in-clinic care, with emergency calls stated on its website. The clinic is set up for investigation-heavy cases (mobile digital X‑ray, ultrasound, endoscopy) as well as routine and ongoing management (dentistry, repeat prescriptions, faecal egg counts). From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe: - Equine dentistry carried out with practical logistics support (one owner says their pony was collected from home for dental work, with photo updates during the stay, then delivered back home). - Clear, direct communication (described as “straight talking… up front and honest” and taking time to explain what will be done). - Cost-conscious care when appropriate (one owner says they were taught to administer intramuscular injections to reduce call‑out costs over a holiday period). - Follow-up and continuity for long-term conditions (examples mentioned include steroid injections and treatment/follow-up for an eye ulcer).
