Taylor Vets

Taylor Vets is an independent practice owned and led by Dr. David Moore and Dr. Katy Julien, with Practice Director Lorna Spenceley. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and urgent problems, with owners describing same-day emergency appointments and out-of-hours phone support. Recent feedback continues to highlight a calm, very clean environment, clear communication, and attentive aftercare, including updates during recovery and support at end of life.

Services

• •Routine and preventive care: vaccinations, wellness exams, and monthly care plans are mentioned, with one owner specifically praising a plan that included flea and worm treatment.
• •Consultations and diagnostics: video consultations are listed, alongside ultrasound and work-up for issues such as skin conditions, allergies, and other ongoing health concerns.
• •Surgery and procedures: spay/neuter surgery, dentistry, and other operations are offered. Recent reviews mention surgery for a cat after a road traffic accident, with recovery updates and aftercare including dressing changes.
• •Urgent and emergency help: the clinic states that it runs its own emergency service. Owners describe same-day emergency appointments, late-evening phone advice after a dog had a seizure, and urgent assessment for a tortoise that had come out of hibernation unwell.
• •Home visits and end-of-life care: home visits are listed, and recent feedback especially praises compassionate support during a pet’s final days.
• •Travel paperwork: the practice provides pet travel support, including animal health certificates and export paperwork, with one owner highlighting help for moving a dog from the UK to Australia.

Pricing

Published prices suggest the clinic sits above average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. Reviews give a mixed but consistent picture on cost: one owner described a surgical bill as expensive but felt the care justified it, while another said the monthly plan offered good value.
