Dog & Cat Vets in Leicestershire

M M Leggett is described on its website as an independent veterinary practice that combines “modern” care and “latest technology” with “traditional values,” and it treats both small and large animals. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for a mix of routine pet care and urgent same-day issues—owners mention cat spaying, immediate assessment after an accident, and clear post-op aftercare guidance. Several reviews also point to strong follow-up (including staff checking how a pet is doing after surgery) and a clean clinic environment.

Medivet Syston is part of the Medivet group. Based on the information available, the clinic appears set up for routine veterinary care plus common elective procedures (a planned castration is specifically mentioned), and it’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Reviewers repeatedly describe smooth appointment access and pets that are notably relaxed during visits, with staff taking time to explain options and provide a clear breakdown of what’s being done. Overnight emergency care is referenced via Medivet’s wider network, with a stated fixed out‑of‑hours consultation fee.

Melton Vets describes itself as a proudly independent small-animal practice. Based on what owners mention, it appears set up for routine preventive care (yearly vaccinations), common problems (an ear issue), and supportive care during difficult/traumatic situations. Reviews repeatedly point to staff being helpful and accommodating, and one owner specifically notes a nurse appointment that helped reduce their dogs’ anxiety around visits. A small number of reviews conflict with this, alleging rudeness during a phone call to book a new-dog check-up.

Broughton Vet Group Ltd has been providing veterinary care since 2003. Recent reviews most often describe routine preventive visits (annual check-ups and vaccinations) and thorough, explanatory exams where vets talk owners through what they’re doing. Several owners also mention a conservative, discussion-led approach—for example, with an elderly rabbit, the vet agreed to monitor a small lump rather than recommending “radical treatment,” and also trimmed claws carefully. Customer experience feedback is mixed: while many describe helpful staff and good communication (including appointment reminders), a recent review reports significant stress and confusion around pet travel documentation and quotes an Export Health Certificate (EHC) cost “over £250.”

Bell Brown & Bentley is a veterinary practice that (based on available data) provides emergency veterinary services and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Day-to-day care described in reviews includes diagnostics and medical treatment for unwell cats (blood tests, injections, fluids and tablets) and routine preventative work for puppies (vaccinations and microchipping). Several reviewers also describe a “cat waiting area” in reception and vets who take time to explain options in detail—while a few reviews raise concerns about pricing transparency and front-desk/admin handling of registration and bookings.

Barney and Bella Independent Vet Care describes itself as an independent practice that donates its profits to support RSPCA Woodside. Based on its website, it’s set up for everyday preventive care (vaccinations, parasite control) as well as common procedures like neutering and dental work, with in-house lab testing. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention a calm, low-stress experience for cats (including a dedicated cat section for privacy), vets who listen and are “non-judgemental,” and thorough attention for an older cat.

Medivet Shepshed (Value Vet) is part of the Medivet group and sees cats, dogs, rabbits and other small mammals. The practice offers routine care (including 15‑minute consultations) as well as diagnostics like X‑rays and dentistry. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention vets taking time to listen to concerns and give practical advice (including grooming tips), plus patient handling of nervous or “difficult” dogs. Specific problems mentioned include treating a cat’s facial abscess and supporting a dog that was “really struggling” with advice and treatment.

MSK Vets is an independent veterinary referral clinic focused on musculoskeletal problems and pain management for dogs and cats, working alongside your regular vet. It appears set up for arthritis, joint pain, lameness investigations and mobility support, with owners repeatedly describing thorough gait-analysis appointments using a treadmill system, followed by clear, option-based treatment discussions (including hydrogel injections mentioned in reviews). Reviews also repeatedly mention the team taking time with anxious dogs—letting them explore, building rapport, and adapting the appointment pace—and at least one owner reports a follow-up/after-care call after a procedure.

Leicester PDSA Pet Hospital is part of PDSA (a charity), and the clinic website describes it as providing free and low-cost veterinary care for pets in need. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews most often describe friendly staff and support during end-of-life appointments, but a minority of reviews raise serious concerns about clinical decision-making and communication (including euthanasia being suggested without the diagnostics an owner expected). Concrete details mentioned include: - Owners describing pets being examined and sent home with medicine. - End-of-life care experiences, with multiple reviewers referencing staff support during euthanasia appointments. - Diagnostics and handling mentioned in critical reviews: being told to sedate a cat at home for blood tests that were not then performed; a diagnosis based on visual assessment and a urine sample; and an injection reportedly administered into fur.

Hinckley Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets chain (not an independent clinic) and is set up as a fairly broad, well-equipped practice: it lists an in-house lab, pharmacy, digital x‑ray and ultrasound, plus a hospital ward and isolation facilities. The website also states it’s an RCVS Approved Graduate Development Practice and a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe fast access when something feels urgent (one reviewer says they were seen within half an hour of calling) and clear, detailed explanations during consults (particularly naming Dr. Tudor Lloyd). There is also a starkly different account from one reviewer describing a long-running eye problem with very high costs and a poor outcome, which conflicts with the predominantly positive feedback. Concrete specifics mentioned: - Separate cat and dog waiting areas and separated wards/isolation units are listed on the website. - Home visits are offered (per the website). - Out-of-hours emergency care is provided by Park Vet Group (per the website). - Reviews mention sensitive handling of euthanasia, including supportive staff on the day.
