Swadlincote Veterinary Surgery

Swadlincote Veterinary Surgery offers routine pet care alongside support for more difficult situations like end-of-life decisions, and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website highlights Pet Health Club® and provides information on what to do in an emergency. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention fast appointment availability (including same-day), staff taking time to explain options, and being offered more affordable treatment routes in some cases. Pricing feedback is mixed: one owner praised “reasonable prices,” while another was unhappy with a £75 charge for a puppy’s second Nobivac injection.
