From the latest reviews, owners most often describe unhurried consultations where vets explain options and answer questions, plus small but concrete follow-ups such as calling to check how a pet is doing after a procedure. Several reviews mention care for small mammals (guinea pigs) including castration/neutering, as well as supportive end-of-life care with keepsakes (paw prints and a clipping of fur). A minority report a significant callback delay after calling multiple times. ## Services - Emergency veterinary services (listed as 24/7 or extended-hours emergency care). - Veterinary nurse training facility (explicitly stated). - Small mammal care (guinea pigs): castration/neutering is specifically mentioned in reviews, with post-op recovery described as smooth. - Dog care: treatment for ticks is mentioned; owners also describe appointments where vets “thoroughly examine” pets and explain findings. - Cat care (including elderly cats): ongoing care for an older cat is described, including end-of-life support. - Euthanasia/end-of-life support: described as humane and compassionate, with memorial touches (paw prints on a card; a small jar with fur). - Follow-up after procedures: at least one owner reports the clinic phoning to check on recovery after neutering. - Help with pet insurance: one owner describes the team helping them navigate insurance. - Low-stress/positive visits: “fun appointments” are mentioned—visits designed to help pets associate the clinic with positive experiences. ## People - Natasha (reception team): mentioned for remembering pets and asking after them (guinea pigs), which owners experienced as personal continuity of care. - Gerda (vet/clinician): named as performing a guinea pig castration; the owner reports everything went well and recovery was quick. - Front-of-house staff and nurses (team, unnamed): repeatedly credited for being easy to reach, friendly, and supportive—particularly around emotionally difficult visits and practical issues like insurance. ## Reviews 4.5 stars from 93 reviews. The latest reviews available are mostly very positive with one clear complaint about delayed callbacks. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - Owners often mention appointments not feeling rushed, with vets taking time to explain options and answer questions. - Follow-up and aftercare show up in concrete examples (a phone call checking recovery after neutering). - Small animal procedures are specifically referenced (guinea pig castration/neutering with good reported outcomes). - End-of-life care is described in detail, including paw prints on a card and a keepsake jar with fur. - One reviewer reports waiting 2–3 days for a promised vet callback after calling three times, suggesting responsiveness can be inconsistent.

Willett House Veterinary Surgery
Staines-Upon-Thames
Our Score (65/100)
Willett House Veterinary Surgery offers appointment-based consultations and health advice, with surgical and medical work-ups carried out at its main site (pets can be transported there on the morning of procedures using the practice ambulance). It’s a Tier 1 Accredited RCVS Practice and states it provides a 24/7 emergency service outside normal opening hours. From the latest reviews available, owners frequently describe vets taking time to examine and reassure (including follow-up conversations with the same vet after a small pet appointment), and several long-term clients mention support with elderly pets through end-of-life care. One recent reviewer, however, reports a very different experience focused on high costs and a treatment they felt didn’t help.

Vets Now is part of the Vets Now emergency-vet group (the website describes 60+ UK locations) and is set up for out-of-hours and urgent presentations when daytime practices are closed, with emergency care also offered via video consultations. Reviews describe a triage-style service where some pets are seen very quickly (including being seen “immediately” on Christmas Day), and cases that sometimes involve overnight hospitalisation. Several owners also mention the clinic sending medical notes on to their regular vet after the visit. Feedback is mixed: some owners report clear communication and rapid symptom relief after treatment (for example, pain medication helping a dog feel better), while others describe concerns about high costs and alleged misdiagnosis, plus frustration about payment-chasing communications.

MVA Veterinary Services Ltd is listed under a veterinary-sounding business name, but the latest written Google reviews available to us describe car detailing services rather than pet healthcare. Reviewers repeatedly mention ceramic coatings, machine polishing, paint protection film (PPF), maintenance washes, and a mobile service, which makes it difficult to confirm what veterinary services (if any) are actually offered based on the provided data. If you’re choosing a vet for a pet, this mismatch is a key point to clarify before relying on the listing.

Sherwood Veterinary Services Ltd.
Ashford Common
Sherwood Veterinary Services Ltd. is an independent veterinary practice that’s RCVS accredited and ISFM Cat Friendly, and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website highlights general veterinary treatment, preventative healthcare, nurse clinics, and pet travel services. In the latest reviews available to us, many owners describe long-term use over 15–38+ years and say vets take time to explain findings and examine pets in detail, with some also noting it doesn’t feel like they’re trying to overcharge. However, a smaller number of recent reviews describe serious concerns, including high-cost repeat treatment for a cat’s abscess, a complaint about a nasal flush that “made her worse”, and reports of poor communication/relationship breakdowns (including being told the practice would no longer treat a dog by email).
