Hadrian Vets describes itself as a long-established practice that is under new management, with investment in updated diagnostic, anaesthetic and monitoring equipment and ongoing modernisation of kennel facilities. Reviews most often focus on day-to-day companion animal care and handling: one owner describes staff adapting an exam for a fearful dog by examining him in the waiting room when he refused to enter the consult room, and another mentions vaccines being booked and support given by email for behaviour questions. Several reviewers also mention using the practice for decades with multiple dogs.

Robson & Prescott is a veterinary clinic that promotes consultations being included as part of a Pet Health Club® Plus plan (as stated on its website). The website also lists ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation (Gold, Silver and Bronze status). From reviews, the practice is used for a wide mix of pets and cases, including dogs, cats/kittens, hamsters, horses, and a tortoise. Recent review details mention last‑minute appointment availability, follow-up after a specialist consultation, and a recurring concern from one reviewer about fees not being fully explained in advance (despite them describing the clinical care itself as empathetic).

Ayres Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice established in 1973 and part of the CVS Group (CVS Vets). The clinic offers routine care (check-ups, vaccinations, parasite control) alongside practical add-ons such as nurse consultations, grooming/nail clips and home visits, and it states it can handle emergencies in-hours with out-of-hours arrangements via Ayres Veterinary Hospital and Alnorthumbria Veterinary Group. It’s accredited to RCVS Core Standards. From the latest reviews, many owners describe straightforward appointments (including “no waiting” on arrival) and vets who explain treatment clearly and answer questions. One review strongly disagrees with that experience, describing rough handling of an excitable dog and being told to “go see someone else,” alongside concerns about communication and continuity of seeing the same vet.

Community Pet Clinic’s available online signals appear inconsistent: the linked website and the latest reviews describe a community hospital (with inpatient wards and clinics like rheumatology), not a veterinary practice. The website summary we have contains no pet-related services, species treated, facilities, or emergency arrangements. Reviews mention being “seen on time or early,” 24/7 ward staffing, and practical nursing support (washing, shaving, feeding)—all framed around human patient care rather than pets.

Robson & Prescott presents itself as a multi-branch veterinary practice and offers consultations via a Pet Health Club® Plus plan (website). Recent reviews heavily emphasise a cat-focused setup—including a “Cat Clinic” described as quiet, small, and structured so owners get a more relaxed, dedicated appointment slot for easily stressed cats. Beyond routine consults, owners also describe inpatient/hospital care with nurse update calls, and out-of-hours help with urgent non-clinical issues (checking a microchip database and contacting an owner).

Jim McLellan MRCVS & Associates is a veterinary clinic established in 2001 (no corporate group mentioned). The website lists routine preventative care alongside surgical/diagnostic work, and reviews add a few practical details about how appointments and follow-up are handled—one owner notes a post-operation phone call from the vet, a consultation at discharge, and follow-up a few days later. A small waiting area is mentioned, with appointments seemingly spaced out to avoid overcrowding.

Orchard House Veterinary Centres Ltd
Bellingham
Orchard House Veterinary Centres Ltd describes itself as an independent, family-owned practice, and is RCVS Practice Standards Scheme accredited. The website says it provides 24/7 emergency care year-round, handled by their own vets in their own surgeries. Reviews consistently back up clear communication and calm handling of pets, with examples including full explanations ahead of a dental procedure, a vet putting a cat at ease, and one owner reporting the surgery opened within ~30 minutes for a serious Sunday-morning emergency. Some owners also mention practical set-up details such as a segregated waiting area that stays calm.

Alnorthumbria Vets is a long-established mixed animal practice (established 1897) treating small animals, equine and farm animals, with the website also mentioning treatment of some wild animals. The practice states it provides a 24-hour emergency care service staffed by their usual team of vets. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe calm handling and clear explanations (including injections and nasally administered medicine done “without fuss”), and there are specific mentions of post-op care for a dog and support on a “very sad day” (end-of-life care). A smaller number of reviews raise concerns about cost (e.g., £96 for an exam plus an injection for sickness; £34 for seven anti-inflammatory tablets) and, in one case, unfriendly service when collecting a prescription.

Capontree Veterinary Centre describes itself as a multi-discipline practice with three vet centres and a team of 15 vets, caring for pets, horses, and farm animals. Reviews most often talk about routine pet care and how appointments are handled: several owners mention being seen quickly (including an appointment arranged within an hour when a dog became ill) and describe staff as friendly and attentive (for example, “made a fuss” of a dog). A few reviews also point to practicalities that matter to owners, including being “on time” and discussion of costs—some say pricing is fair/reasonable and that they felt supported rather than pressured if they couldn’t afford a procedure.
