Swanspool Veterinary Clinic is an independent practice (founded 1874) that operates as a mixed practice—the website describes care for dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. Reviews most often describe routine appointments and urgent treatment, including Sunday treatment for injuries and a case where a dog had a front leg amputation and was home within 24 hours. Owners repeatedly mention practical touches such as being seen promptly, staff taking time with nervous pets (using treat rewards and respecting a dog’s boundaries during injections), and help with insurance claims.

Northlands Veterinary Group is a multi-site practice (established since the 1960s, per its website) that offers routine/preventative care and runs its own in-house 24-hour emergency service. The website also references a hospital with “impressive facilities,” and the structured clinic data lists it as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention long-term continuity (including being with the practice for “over 20 years”), being seen promptly when needed (an older dog “very quickly”), and practical, low-stress handling during appointments (for example, helping a frightened cat during a vaccination visit after an accident in the carrier, with wipes and fresh bedding provided immediately).

The Johnston Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice established in 1989 and (based on its CVS-branded email domain) appears to be part of CVS Vets. It’s set up for routine care plus in-house diagnostics and procedures (X‑ray, ultrasound and dental work are listed), and it also acts as a veterinary nurse training facility. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention being able to get short-notice appointments when worried, thorough investigations for long-running problems (one owner cites a first-visit diagnosis for years of ear infections), and thoughtful end-of-life support including paying beforehand, a candle lit in the waiting room, and keepsakes such as paw/nose prints and fur returned with ashes.
