Brookfield Veterinary Practice

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”).
