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.

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.
