Emergency care information is conflicting: the clinic data lists “emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours)”, while the website says the practice does not provide in‑house out‑of‑hours emergency care and instead uses an external specialist emergency provider.

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.

Our Score (67/100)
Recent reviews include a detailed account of urgent care leading to bladder surgery to remove “about 30 stones,” with a rapid recovery reported within two days. However, there are also strong negative reviews alleging a missed request for blood tests while a cat was anaesthetised, disputed charges for dental X‑rays, and poor follow-up communication from management. Separate feedback mentions long telephone menu/answerphone messages and occasional waiting-time frustration even with an early appointment.
