Best Vets in Scunthorpe – Complete Local Guide

Old Registry Vets describes itself as an independent companion animal practice and states it offers a 24-hour emergency service. It also lists an in-house laboratory and is noted as a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews, the clinic appears set up for urgent same-day problems as well as routine care: owners mention being offered an appointment the same afternoon for an injured cat, and a 48-hour recheck being booked. Multiple reviewers also describe the team adapting appointments for anxious or reactive pets (including a vet sitting cross-legged on the floor to settle a nervous dog, and seeing a reactive dog outside by the car park to reduce stress). A practical downside mentioned is limited parking space.

Medivet Scunthorpe is part of the Medivet group and is set up for routine appointments as well as urgent support, with Medivet’s stated 24-hour emergency care offering (overnight emergency consultations priced at £130 between 7pm and 9am). In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention being able to get appointments when needed, clear explanations (sometimes with follow-up), and a practice that feels organised and clean. One reviewer also flags that medication costs can feel “very pricey,” while others focus on efficiency and help in urgent situations (including taking on a dog that wasn’t registered).

Medivet Ashby is part of the Medivet group. Based on the website information, it offers access to 24-hour emergency care via one of Medivet’s 24-hour centres (with an overnight emergency consultation fee stated at £130). It’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Recent reviews describe a practice that can offer same-day appointments for new concerns and where vets are reported to explain what they’re doing during examinations. Several owners also mention a “least invasive/less costly first” approach (including pointing out when prescription medication might be cheaper elsewhere). There is, however, a serious recent complaint alleging misdiagnosis in a dog’s case.

Medivet Crowle is part of the Medivet group (a network of 400+ practices). The practice is set up for routine consultations and ongoing care (including chronic conditions), with access to Medivet’s 24-hour emergency care; the website states a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention thorough examinations with clear explanations, and several describe practical, problem-solving appointments (prescriptions issued; dew claws attended to). There’s also a clear note of friction from one owner who says a test was carried out without costs being discussed first, adding £40+ to the bill.

Rase Veterinary Centre is a general veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Based on the latest reviews available, it handles a mix of urgent problems and routine procedures—including an out-of-hours call-out for a dog that ate a mince pie (treated at 2am on Christmas Eve) as well as planned surgery such as spays, microchipping, and lump removal.

Owner experiences are mixed: several reviews describe kind, reassuring care during difficult situations (including euthanasia decisions), while others raise serious concerns about clinical errors (including a report of stitches “too tight” after lump surgery leading to amputation, and an allegation that a paid-for microchip was not implanted).
