Mawsley Veterinary Surgery is an independent veterinary clinic (not part of a corporate group). Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care (consultations, vaccinations, nurse clinics) as well as support through difficult decisions, particularly end-of-life care. Owners repeatedly mention practical touches such as same-day appointments when a pet deteriorated, at-home euthanasia, and follow-up calls after dental procedures.

Staverton Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews point to a clinic that’s geared toward everyday GP-style care plus urgent, short-notice appointments when pets become unwell. Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations during consultations and health checks, and a couple of accounts describe being registered by phone and seen the same day/next morning for issues like an ear infection.

Corby Veterinary Surgery (established in early 2015) is part of a small group of practices and is RCVS-accredited. The clinic offers nurse clinics (including nail clips and senior/mobility clinics) and a “Click and Collect” option for flea/worm treatments, food, and repeat medications. Reviews strongly emphasise support with anxious pets (including taking time during treatment and helping get a dog back to the car) and compassionate end-of-life care (including time and space to say goodbye and sending paw prints and a signed card afterwards).

Northlands Veterinary Group is a multi-branch practice (with a central hospital and branch surgeries) that’s been operating since the 1960s, and it runs its own in-house 24-hour emergency service. Reviews most often describe straightforward preventative care (annual health checks and vaccinations) plus practical “extras” done during visits—like nail clipping and dealing with matting—alongside notable aftercare communication.

Wootton Fields Veterinary Surgery is part of Spinney Lodge (“Spinney Vets”), a small-animal practice that’s been operating for over 50 years and is RCVS accredited. The practice offers routine preventative care plus targeted clinics (including nurse-led clinics and a “Lumps & Bumps Clinic”), and uses Vets Now for out-of-hours emergencies. Reviews most often describe straightforward, calm consultations (including with anxious dogs), but there is also a detailed complaint about a long appointment dominated by computer input, a poor reception welcome, and a high charge for eye drops that required a disclaimer because they were not tested on dogs.

The Vet Centre Cherry Lane is RCVS-accredited and offers routine appointments alongside urgent care triage (one review describes being told to come in immediately after a dog ate dark chocolate). Owners repeatedly mention a “no frills” approach—one client specifically praised diagnosis and treatment “without…suggest[ing] expensive tests,” and another said it was the first time they left a vet “feeling happy” rather than “robbed.” Out-of-hours care is arranged via a partner service (Vets Now) according to the clinic website.
