Milan Veterinary Practice – Vets in Douglas

Updated January 2026

Clinic Overview

Milan Veterinary Practice is a multi-branch practice (the website mentions three branches) with owners describing both routine and urgent care, including late-night call-outs. Reviews include specific examples of vets talking owners through whether an emergency visit is actually needed (to help avoid unnecessary cost), carrying out emergency treatment, and following up a few hours later to check progress. End-of-life care is a recurring theme too, with multiple owners describing unhurried euthanasia appointments where procedures were explained clearly and handled with compassion. A minority of recent reviews raise concerns about high prices and poor communication, which conflicts with other reviews that highlight clear explanations and honest discussions.

Services

  • Emergency care / call-outs: Owners mention a 4am Saturday call-out, phone triage before attending, and emergency attendance for a pet in severe pain.
  • Follow-up after urgent treatment: One reviewer reports the vet checked in a few hours later to make sure the pet had settled.
  • Euthanasia and end-of-life support: Several reviews describe euthanasia appointments where vets did not rush, explained what would happen, and supported owners through the process.
  • Species mentioned: Reviews reference dogs and equine care (“From equine to canine”).
  • Veterinary nurse training: Listed in the clinic data as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.
