Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

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.

Services

  • 24-hour emergency care (stated by the clinic; also referenced by reviewers as “24/7 availability”).
  • In-house laboratory (stated by the clinic).
  • Routine preventive care mentioned in reviews
  • Vaccinations/boosters and 6-month check-ups.
  • Injury/urgent treatment mentioned in reviews
  • Cats treated after injuries from other cats, including initial treatment and scheduled re-examinations.
  • Support for nervous/reactive pets, with adjustments to how/where the consult happens (e.g., outside consultation; taking a cat to another room with a vet nurse to enable examination).

People

  • David (vet): named repeatedly. Owners say he explains things clearly and is patient, with several reviewers choosing to see him consistently.
  • Unnamed female vet (role not specified beyond “vet”): one owner describes her getting down on the floor to interact calmly with an anxious dog until the dog visibly relaxed.
  • Vet nurses: mentioned assisting with handling/examining a feral cat so treatment could be given safely.

Reviews

  • Follow-up and ongoing communication, including regular updates during an emergency case and a planned recheck within 48 hours.
  • Practical handling for difficult or stressed pets, such as consulting outside for a reactive dog and using a separate room plus vet nurse support for a feral cat.
