Vets in Leicestershire | England Veterinary Directory

Phoenix Vets is a veterinary practice that, based on the information available, is set up for routine care (vaccinations and check-ups) as well as urgent same-day problems requiring procedures (for example, wound repair under anaesthetic). Reviews repeatedly mention calm handling for nervous pets, clear explanations with options during appointments, and proactive communication such as phone updates after procedures. The clinic also states it is a Veterinary Nurse Training facility, and its website highlights a “hands-on pet assessment” and purpose-built facility.

Town & Country Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent veterinary practice serving both pets and horses, with a purpose-built small animal site and an ambulatory equine service supported by portable diagnostic imaging. The website highlights state-of-the-art diagnostic and operating facilities, plus services such as advanced dentistry, lameness investigations, stud medicine, and pre-purchase examinations. In the latest reviews, owners most often point to specific clinicians by name (including James, Michael, Tim, and John Abbott) and describe outcomes such as a dog being “saved” after a critical 24-hour period, and calm handling of an older dog while discussing comfort options. There is also a clear conflict in emergency-cover information: the website states a “24/365 Emergency Service,” while one recent reviewer says they don’t have 24-hour cover and that out-of-hours care involves going elsewhere.

Loughborough Vets4Pets Ltd describes itself as a locally owned practice, with a well-equipped on-site set-up (in-house lab and pharmacy, digital x‑ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, operating theatre, hospital ward, isolation, and separate dog/cat wards). Reviews strongly emphasise orthopaedic and airway surgeries handled by Luke (named as the practice owner in one review), with owners repeatedly describing detailed pre‑op and post‑op explanations—including one case where a training aid was used to show what was corrected during a knee operation. Another recurring, concrete gesture mentioned is bereavement support, including sending paw prints after a pet passed away. One reviewer notes an occasional operational slip: treatments not being sent.

Ownership group isn’t stated in the information provided. The clinic appears set up for a wide range of cases, including surgeries, exotics (reptiles and small birds), and overnight/emergency cover. Recent reviews give concrete examples of how they handle harder situations and anxious pets, such as a vet seeing an extremely nervous dog at the car to avoid the waiting room, and the team supporting a family through the death of a bearded dragon (including explaining the process to a child). Reviews also mention in-house testing and that the practice staffs its own overnights and emergencies rather than transferring cases elsewhere.

Bray House Veterinary Practice offers routine and preventive care alongside in‑practice diagnostics and surgery, including imaging (x‑ray, ultrasound and endoscopy) and blood/urine testing. Emergency care is mentioned on the practice website, and owners’ reviews describe thorough, head‑to‑tail examinations and vaccine/health‑check appointments led by nurses with vet input on medication plans. Recent reviews are mostly positive, though there is at least one low rating (2‑star) with no written detail, and one owner notes a prescription cost of £123 as “a little pricey.” Concrete examples owners describe include: a consultation that checked “paws to anal glands” plus gynaecological concerns; a month-long improvement window with repeat prescription pickup for phantom pregnancy; and a vaccine visit where the nurse checked with a GP/vet about medication and set a review plan.
