Clinic Overview

Vets4Pets‑branded practice (the website describes it as locally owned) with a large, modern setup: multiple consultation rooms, a lift to reach the main clinical area above a pet shop, and separated dog/cat wards plus isolation facilities listed on the website. Reviews repeatedly mention spacious waiting areas with designated zones for cats, dogs and small animals, and staff taking time to explain options—one owner describes a thorough exam followed by treatment alternatives, side effects, timelines and costs. There is also a contrasting account from a recent low-rating review describing a £86 visit that they felt resulted in generic advice and inadequate treatment.
