Bryn Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. It appears set up for routine and ongoing care as well as urgent presentations: reviews describe support for diabetic cats, rabbit care (including dematting and vaccination discussions), and same-day attention after a road-traffic accident before transfer to a veterinary hospital. Cost transparency comes up repeatedly—owners mention clear discussions about treatment costs and no “surprise costs”, although one recent review says the clinic has “got sold” and now feels “all about money,” which conflicts with other owners’ experiences. The clinic also offers a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations (as stated in the website summary).

Medivet Tyldesley / Tyldesley Veterinary Centre is part of the Medivet group (a network of veterinary practices with access to 24-hour centres). From the information available, the practice is used for a mix of routine appointments and urgent same-day problems, with multiple reviews describing end-of-life care handled “with dignity” and dental work being booked and completed as “essential dental treatment.” Owners also report support with longer-term conditions: one detailed review describes diabetes being suspected early in a consultation, confirmed with blood and urine tests, and the team helping the owner learn insulin injections and equipment; when injections became unmanageable, an alternative treatment was suggested and the owner reports improvement. Alongside these positives, one recent 1-star review strongly disputes the standard of chronic-condition management, alleging repeated reliance on steroids/antibiotics without prevention advice and missed underlying infection—so experiences appear mixed depending on case and expectations. Concrete points mentioned by owners include: being seen immediately in an emergency when other practices couldn’t fit them in; the team keeping a dog for observation after eating a silica gel sachet; dental treatment for an anxious rescue dog with the owner reporting the dog was “not too distressed”; and appointments described as on time and the practice “clean and tidy/spotless.”

Torkington Park Veterinary Centre
Stockport
Our Score (78/100)
Torkington Park Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that’s set up for routine care (boosters, parasite treatments, check-ups) and end-of-life support, with multiple recent reviews describing help keeping pets comfortable in their final days. The clinic is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). A distinctive, practical policy mentioned by an owner is a candle in reception that’s lit during euthanasia appointments, with a request for soft voices and respect. Reviews repeatedly describe gentle handling and patient communication (including with nervous or skittish dogs), while one reviewer reports serious frustration with front-desk administration when trying to join a waiting list—long holds, being cut off, and not having details checked.

Manchester Veterinary Centre
Tameside
Our Score (78/100)
Manchester Veterinary Centre describes itself as a purpose-built practice and lists Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) registration. It’s also recorded as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe a mix of routine care (booster vaccinations and health checks) and in-practice procedures requiring sedation or general anaesthetic—such as sedating a dog to treat an ear infection and dental extractions under GA. End-of-life care is also specifically mentioned, including a condolence card sent afterwards. Some reviewers refer to the practice as “Willows Vets”; based on the information provided, it’s unclear whether this is an alternate name or a separate brand—so it’s worth being aware of that naming inconsistency.
