Best Vets in Leicestershire

Medivet Hinckley Coventry Road (Feldon Veterinary Centre) is part of the Medivet group. It’s set up for routine consultations and ongoing care, with owners repeatedly mentioning easy access to appointments (including same-day for a poorly cat) and vets who talk through more than one treatment route rather than pushing a single plan. Reviews also mention care for small pets (pet rats) as well as dogs and cats, and named vets (Eric and Viv) who suggest alternative options where appropriate.

Meadow Lane Vets is a long-established practice (founded in the 1870s) focused on small animals and exotics, with on-site diagnostic and surgical facilities (including x‑ray, ultrasound, microscopy and lab functions, surgical areas and kennels). The clinic states it will see emergencies 24/7; when closed, calls are diverted to MiNightVet East Midlands, where emergency-trained vets and nurses are on-site. Recent reviews describe quick emergency access for a sick older cat, detailed explanations of findings (including for a rabbit), and “after care” following treatment for a cat injured in a fight.

Vets for Pets Leicester Beaumont Leys is part of the Vets for Pets group and is jointly owned by Sameer Bheda and Shabbir Shariff. The practice appears set up for both routine care and more involved in-house work: it has an operating theatre, hospital ward, in-house lab, digital and dental X-ray, ultrasound, and an oxygen chamber, plus separate cat/dog waiting areas and wards (including isolation). Recent reviews repeatedly mention staff taking time with nervous pets (cats and puppies) and owners valuing ongoing communication—one reviewer specifically mentions a WhatsApp group for updates and reassurance, and another describes careful aftercare following neutering.

Medivet Oadby is part of the Medivet group and offers routine appointments (15-minute consultations) plus on-site diagnostics including an in-house laboratory and X‑rays. The practice also lists nurse clinics, home visits, dentistry, neutering, microchipping, parasite care, vaccinations, and animal health certificates for pet travel, and it is a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe vets taking a gentle, thorough approach and explaining options (for example, after a cat bite, an owner said they were given workable choices that helped them keep their cat at home). Multiple reviewers also mention appointments not feeling rushed and pets being helped to settle (staff checking health records, giving “fuss and attention,” and answering questions). Pricing feedback is mixed: several owners call fees “reasonable” (including mention of a free first consultation offer), while one recent reviewer describes the practice as “expensive” and “a hassle to deal with.”

Coalville Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets-branded practice (the website describes Vets4Pets practices as “locally owned”). Reviews most often describe it as a clinic that handles both routine care and significant procedures, with examples including a C‑section with six surviving puppies, eye removal surgery, and ongoing management of a cat with megacolon. Several owners mention vets taking time to explain different treatment options, including pros/cons and the costs involved. End‑of‑life care comes up repeatedly, with one detailed account describing being given a private room, time to say goodbye without being rushed, and gentle check-ins.

Broughton Veterinary Group has been operating since 2003; the website summary doesn’t state whether it’s independent or part of a corporate group. Based on the information available, the practice covers routine preventive care (including annual health reviews and vaccinations) and also supports end‑of‑life decisions. Recent reviews repeatedly describe: - Calm, reassuring routine visits (e.g., an annual review for a dog and cat handled with “care and kindness”; a kennel cough vaccination described as calm, with a dog “never scared”). - Supportive euthanasia appointments, including for rabbits, with staff noted for staying patient and kind while owners were very upset. - Prompt attempts to fit clients in, with one review saying they do their best to see you quickly.

The Park Veterinary Group is an RCVS-accredited practice that says it has been operating for over 100 years and runs multiple branches. It offers out-of-hours emergency treatment (via the practice number) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews include multiple accounts of urgent and end-of-life care (including out-of-hours), with specific examples such as staff making pawprints/clipping fur for a child and sending a handwritten sympathy card after a pet death. One recent review, however, alleges inconsistent pricing quotes and serious dissatisfaction with care during a complicated birth and subsequent neonatal puppy illness, describing rapidly changing costs and feeling that consultations were not properly carried out.

The Gun Dog Clinic describes itself as an independent, multi-site veterinary service focused on working dogs, aiming to give “straightforward and practical advice” to keep dogs fit for the field. On the clinical side, its website highlights routine care plus breeding-related testing (pregnancy ultrasound scanning and progesterone blood testing), alongside microchipping and parasite control. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: - Adjustments for anxious dogs, including a vet coming out to the car to avoid the waiting room. - Surgery and follow-up care being handled over multiple visits (e.g., cyst/abscess surgery and later stitch removal). - A potential mismatch in scope/species: although the website positions the clinic around dogs (especially working dogs), some reviews discuss care for reptiles and small birds, and several reviews refer to a different clinic name (“Chine House Veterinary”).

MR Vet Ltd (ParasiteVet/Veterinary Parasitology) focuses on veterinary parasitology testing rather than routine in-clinic treatment, with owners describing a postal sample kit process and written lab reports returned digitally. Reviews repeatedly mention quick turnaround (examples given include samples posted one day and results the next, or within 2–4 days) and clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Several reviews also describe practical customer-service steps such as sending a replacement kit free of charge/next-day when a kit was delayed or misplaced, and providing results via OneDrive with “next actions” advice. A small number of recent reviews report the opposite experience—waiting multiple weeks for reports with poor communication—so reliability appears to vary based on the latest written feedback.

The Park Veterinary Group is a multi-branch practice that states it has been operating for over 100 years, with RCVS Accredited Practices status and Cat Friendly Clinics (Gold or Silver) accreditation listed on its website. It also advertises out-of-hours emergency treatment and is a veterinary nurse training facility. In the latest reviews, owners describe a mix of experiences: several mention pets being kept calm during routine procedures (including kitten neutering/spaying and a dog spay), while a small number raise concerns about administration/policy changes and communication, including one report of being asked for the account-holder’s authority at check-in and another alleging unprofessional email exchanges and reluctance to see a rabbit in an emergency. Reviews also include specific positives such as not being pressured into “pointless expensive treatment” for an elderly dog and staff taking time to help nervous dogs feel at ease.
