Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

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.

Services

  • Routine preventive care: check-ups and vaccinations are specifically mentioned for cats and puppies.
  • Microchipping: mentioned alongside puppy vaccinations (from the clinic’s website content).
  • Urgent appointments / emergency presentation (during opening hours as described in reviews)
  • An emergency appointment for a dog where a deep neck wound was found, then sutured under anaesthetic, with a same-day progress call and discharge later that day.
  • A rabbit brought in after a fit, with the team adjusting handling to reduce stress (bringing the rabbit to the owner quickly).
  • Anaesthesia and wound surgery: suturing a deep wound under anaesthetic is described in a recent review.
  • Prescribing medications: one review mentions a sick budgie being prescribed Baytril and other antibiotics, with home-care guidance.
  • Care for multiple species: dogs and cats are frequently mentioned; individual reviews also describe care for a budgie, rabbit, and chinchilla.
  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility: listed in the clinic’s structured data.

People

  • Julie (vet): mentioned in multiple reviews as helping keep anxious animals calm (including speaking to a rabbit throughout an exam) and being particularly patient and supportive with owners.
  • Emily: specifically praised (alongside Julie) for helping an anxious dog through visits, including “social visits” to build confidence before a medical appointment.
  • Carol (vet): described as staying beyond her scheduled finish to assess a very sick budgie, prescribing treatment and giving clear care instructions; the reviewer notes she was not a bird specialist but still provided help.

Reviews

5.0 stars from 215 reviews. The latest written reviews describe both routine visits (vaccinations/check-ups) and urgent same-day care, with repeated detail on communication and low-stress handling. “”

  • Clear explanations and choice: owners describe procedures being explained thoroughly and being offered options (not just told what will happen).
  • Urgent care with follow-up updates: examples include a dog’s wound being sutured under anaesthetic, with a call partway through the day to confirm the procedure was successful and when the pet could go home.
  • Low-stress handling for anxious pets: multiple owners mention calm, patient handling (including “social visits” for an anxious dog, and accommodating a stressed rabbit by bringing them to the owner).
  • Support for owners with access needs: one reviewer describes staff collecting their cat from the car and communicating throughout.
  • Facilities mentioned in reviews: a separate cat waiting area is specifically praised; parking/access is also mentioned positively (without relying on it as a care-quality indicator).
  • Species beyond cats/dogs: several reviews reference treatment or appointments for a budgie, rabbit, and chinchilla.
