Best Vets in Melton Mowbray – Complete Local Guide

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.

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”).

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.

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.

Crescent Veterinary Clinic is part of CVS Vets (a corporate group). It’s set up as a small-animal practice offering both routine care and urgent help, with out-of-hours emergencies directed to MiNightVet Nottingham. On the evidence available, owners most often mention support around end-of-life appointments (including follow-up touches like a condolence card and paw print) and being fitted in when time-sensitive care is needed (for example, getting cat booster vaccinations done before travel). The practice is an RCVS General Practice, and the website states it has disabled access and on-site parking.
