Best Vets in Towcester – Complete Local Guide

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.

Towcester Veterinary Centre is a multi-branch practice covering small animals, farm animals and equine work, and it also mentions referrals on its website. Reviewers describe both routine and more involved care, including a dog operation, diagnostic scanning, and treatment for a rabbit with GI stasis. Owners also mention practical communication touches such as being called when a pet is ready for collection, and one review notes being seen within 40 minutes for a suddenly unwell dog. Feedback isn’t uniform: alongside many reports of effective treatment and attentive handling, one recent 1‑star review alleges “covering up symptoms” rather than treating underlying issues and complains about high charges.

Beech House Veterinary Surgery is a general veterinary clinic for pets, with additional provision for poultry and farm animals. The website lists routine and compliance-type services (microchipping, vaccinations, prescriptions, pet travel to Europe/DEFRA duties) alongside dentistry and fertility work, suggesting a practice set up for both everyday preventative care and some in-house procedures. Reviews include examples of longer-running medical management (a dog’s Cushing’s disease described as being kept “well under control”) and cases where the practice referred to a specialist for further investigation. The latest reviews are mostly positive about being listened to and supported, but there is also a detailed negative account alleging poor hygiene and a difficult healing outcome after eyelid growth removal, so experiences appear mixed depending on the case.

Towcester Equine Vets is an equine-focused practice that also functions as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on reviews, they appear set up for on-yard visits and urgent call-outs: one owner reports the team came out within an hour even though they weren’t registered and helped get an 8‑year‑old Shire “back on his feet.” Colic care is specifically mentioned (a Sunday-morning visit described as calm and reassuring, with the horse “sorted… right out”). Longer-term clients also describe practical communication habits such as giving accurate arrival times and calling if delayed, and taking time to explain what’s wrong and how a treatment plan is likely to progress. Feedback is mixed in a few areas: there are complaints about bills/drug mark-ups, one report of a vet being rude during a visit-location/address mix-up, and separate reviews alleging dangerous driving by a practice vehicle.

Paulerspury Vets is set up largely around equine work, with multiple reviews describing horse call-outs, colic treatment, and long-term horse care. It is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention: - Fast emergency attendance for a horse (one owner says the vet arrived within an hour despite them not being registered, and helped get an 8‑year‑old Shire back on his feet). - Colic support (one review credits “Danni” with a calm, reassuring manner during a Sunday-morning colic visit and says the horse was “sorted… right out”). - Planned visit management (one long-term client says the team give accurate time estimates for visits and phone if delayed; another mentions flexible booking and “zone visits (Free call outs!)” for routine checks). There are also negative accounts that conflict with the above—some reviewers describe concerns about billing/drug mark-ups, rudeness, and unsafe driving by a practice van.
