Westway Veterinary Group

Westway Veterinary Group was established in 1975 and states that its clinics are supported by a Tier 3 RCVS hospital (with a larger veterinary and nursing team) for additional backup. The practice describes in-house facilities including a separate, dedicated feline unit with Gold standard cat friendly clinic status.

From the latest reviews available to us, pet owners repeatedly single out Carey/Kerry (vet) for being thorough and patient, especially with nervous dogs, and for explaining options rather than being “pushy.” Several long-term clients mention using the practice for many years (including one saying over 25 years), and one owner of large-breed dogs notes the team gives their dogs space and accommodates slower-paced visits.

I have known Kerry, the Vet at Corbridge Vets for 15 years and I would recommend her, with no doubt at all. She is friendly, very professional, and very caring towards my 2 cats. It's more like going to see a friend, than a Vet.

We've been taking our pets to this vet for many years, and it's been such a wonderful experience! The staff are always so friendly and incredibly helpful. We have two large breed dogs, and they always give them the space they need, which we truly appreciate. I like to take things slow during our visits, and they always accommodate that perfectly. Although we recently had to leave this vet since we moved out of the area, I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a great vet!

We have used Westway Vets since moving to Corbridge almost 4 years ago. The service from everyone there has been wonderful. Carey is so caring and very patient with our nervous dog. We would highly recommend this friendly vet practice.

We have a cat and dog that have needed to be seen by the vet recently. We found that Carey has been brilliant with both. Really thorough and explained options. Couldn't recommend more highly. Thank you.
