Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

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.

Services

  • Small animal and exotic care (website lists dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles; reviews also mention a ferret and rabbits being treated).
  • Emergency care (24/7 stated): the clinic says emergencies will be seen 24/7, with out-of-hours calls diverted to MiNightVet East Midlands for in-person care if needed (and “free advice on the phone” stated).
  • Diagnostics and imaging (on-site): x‑ray, ultrasound, microscopy and laboratory functions are listed on the website.
  • Surgery and inpatient care (on-site): surgical areas and kennels are listed on the website.
  • Preventive care schemes (mentioned, not detailed): a “loyalty discount scheme” to spread the cost of routine ongoing care, plus a free “Youth Club” for puppies/kittens (no inclusions/prices stated).

People

  • Nasia (role not stated): mentioned for being “polite, patient and attentive over the phone” and working to find a solution to the caller’s issue.
  • Clinical team (unnamed): reviewers repeatedly mention staff taking time to explain findings in detail, and providing aftercare after treating injuries (e.g., a cat hurt in a fight).

Reviews

  • Emergency and urgent access: one owner reports getting an emergency appointment for an older cat and being “seen and treated very quickly.”
