Best Vets in Cramlington – Complete Local Guide

Moorview Referrals is a multidisciplinary veterinary referral centre for dogs and cats, with hospitalisation facilities and emergency & critical care cover described on its website. It also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for complex referrals and urgent presentations, with owners repeatedly describing: overnight monitoring after surgery, emergency same-night assessments, and regular updates by phone. Several reviews mention staff explaining procedures and aftercare in detail (for example, facial wound surgery with stitching and a follow-up call a couple of hours later), and being able to phone overnight for an update on a hospitalised pet. Recent feedback is mixed on the referral/emergency side in specific cases: one owner reports being advised to attend after an ibuprofen ingestion and then charged around £200 despite being told no treatment was needed, while another describes a distressing interaction during an end-of-life emergency visit.

Companion Care (Cramlington) Ltd trades as Vets4Pets and is described on its site as a locally owned practice operating within the Vets4Pets brand. The clinic lists a broad range of in-house diagnostics and surgical options (including an in-house lab and imaging, plus access to a visiting CT scanner) and notes that out-of-hours emergencies are provided via Moorview Referrals. From the latest reviews available, experiences are mixed: some owners describe highly supportive end-of-life care (including help with ashes, a handwritten card, and a memorial bag), while others report poor customer service/communication and concerns about costs and repeat charges (including a quoted fee to recheck an ear).

Village Veterinary Centre Limited is a small-animal practice (dogs and cats are specifically mentioned in reviews) where a vet named Myron is a central figure in client experiences. No corporate group is named in the available information. Based on reviews, the clinic is set up for day-to-day general practice plus surgery: owners describe thorough examinations, prescribing medication, and pets booked in for operations. Reproductive care also comes up—one review describes pregnancy scans done elsewhere being discussed at the clinic, and Myron later performing a caesarean section. Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include: - Fast access when worried: one owner says they were told to bring their dog in “in ten minutes” for an urgent exam and medication. - A direct communication style: multiple owners say Myron focuses on facts so they can make decisions, rather than “sugarcoating.” - A significant complaint about pregnancy management: one long-term client felt an elective C‑section for a known singleton pregnancy should have been considered earlier; they report the pup was later found dead and a C‑section was performed.

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.
