Holmefield Veterinary Clinic Ltd

Holmefield Veterinary Clinic Ltd offers general pet veterinary care, with a stated emergency service (24/7 or extended hours) and a “Pet Health Club” proactive healthcare plan mentioned on its website. Recent reviews describe vets explaining diagnoses and treatment options clearly, including a case where a rabbit was seen after official closing time and charged the daytime rate. Owners also mention the practice can handle larger/nervous dogs calmly (including a dog wary of men) and that staff can be helpful with insurance—though one reviewer reports being asked to pay a large amount upfront and claim back via insurance.
