Best Vets in Hereford – Complete Local Guide

Hereford Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets chain and operates from within a Pets at Home store. Based on the information available, the practice covers routine care (vaccinations and neutering), longer-term condition management (a dog’s diabetes was discussed in detail), and surgical/dental work (an “extensive dental procedure” is mentioned), with emergency care listed in the clinic data and owners describing urgent accident treatment after a cat was run over. Reviews repeatedly point to staff taking time to explain procedures and answer questions, and to practical support around paperwork and medicines (help with an insurance claim and sourcing medication online). One recent review describes a serious consent concern involving euthanasia of a rescued wild bird, which conflicts with other reviews that describe sensitive end‑of‑life support.

The Laurels Veterinary Group is an RCVS Practice Standards accredited small-animal practice offering both in-clinic and remote options (including a “Video Vet”). Based on its website and the latest reviews, it appears set up for everyday primary-care needs plus routine surgery and ongoing support: owners describe pets being treated for illness with a clear plan in place quickly, dogs coming in for surgery (including neutering), and follow-on aftercare being discussed. Several reviewers also mention thoughtful bereavement support, including condolence messages/cards after pets were lost. Concrete examples owners describe include: being fitted in quickly for an unwell cat and leaving with diagnosis/medication/next steps within around 10 minutes; dogs returning for ongoing care and “aftercare” where owners felt able to ask questions; and pets being handled gently post-op (including nurses soothing a dog after neutering).

Brookfield Veterinary Practice describes itself as a family-run, independent practice and says it runs its own 24-hour emergency service for registered clients. The website highlights formal accreditations including Cat Friendly Clinic (Gold), a Rabbit Friendly Clinic Award, and membership of the Practice Standards Scheme, plus an RCVS Client Care Award. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe: swift appointment availability; vets who listen, examine, and then talk through treatment options; and strong handling of anxious or reactive pets (including taking multiple visits over weeks to build trust for a vaccination). There are also specific mentions of out-of-hours help on a Sunday evening, and thorough diagnostic workups (“every possible avenue of diagnosis”).

Holmer Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews describe it as set up for rapid access appointments (including same-day) and urgent walk-in situations, with one account of staff responding quickly when a cat had been run over. Owners also mention separate waiting-room areas for cats and dogs, which some find helps reduce stress for pets. Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include: - Getting an appointment “straight away” and being seen within 3 minutes. - Multiple vets involved in a recent case (“saw 4 vets”) with consistent care. - A vet nurse arriving quickly after calling an emergency number, followed shortly by a vet. - Waiting areas divided for cats and dogs.

Belmont Vets Ltd is a small-animal practice that treats cats, dogs and several small pets (including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters) and is accredited as an RCVS Cat Friendly Clinic. The clinic advertises preventative healthcare plans (Pet Health Club®), free nurse clinics, and additional options like K‑Laser Therapy and pet travel health certificates. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe: - Kind, respectful handling from the whole team (receptionists, nurses and vets). - Thorough investigations, with one owner saying a vet “went out of her way to get to the bottom of the issue” for their cat. - Serious-case care, including life-saving surgery after early cancer signs were spotted, and support through a leg amputation recovery. Emergency/out-of-hours is unclear from the information provided: the clinic is described as providing emergency vet services, but one recent review states there is no out-of-hours service.
