Clinic Overview

Companion Care (Scarborough) Ltd operates under the Vets for Pets / Pets at Home brand (a corporate chain). The practice presents itself as a modern, well‑equipped clinic with in‑house diagnostics (lab testing, imaging) and a surgical set‑up (operating theatre, anaesthesia, oxygen chamber), plus separate cat and dog waiting areas. It is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners describe good ongoing support through the Pet Plan/Health Plan (including listening to new-owner anxiety and aftercare), and specific staff members are repeatedly thanked after multiple visits for an injured cat. However, there are also strong complaints about vet availability—including claims of appointments being cancelled when the vet is off sick and reliance on locum cover—alongside criticism that “Health Plan” benefits didn’t help during an urgent situation.

People

Staff members mentioned by name in recent reviews

  • Amber, Bianca, Leanne, Emma, Jonathan — one reviewer thanks them for “professionalism, skill and kindness” across five visits for an injured cat.
  • Jon — an older review credits “Jon the vet” and the team with ongoing support for multiple pets, including during emergencies (details not specified).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.3 stars from 135 reviews. “”

  • Health plan experiences are mixed: some owners say the Pet Plan has been “excellent” and that staff listened to their worries as new owners; others say their “Health Plan” felt “null & void” when they needed urgent help.
  • Aftercare and repeat-visit support: one owner mentions “after care has been brilliant,” and another describes multiple visits for an injured cat with consistent professionalism.
  • Vet availability concerns vs. positive care when seen: multiple 1‑star reviews allege limited vet cover/appointment cancellations and reliance on backup arrangements, while several 5‑star reviews describe attentive care once appointments happened.
