Not stated whether this is an independent practice or part of a wider veterinary group. Based on recent reviews, the clinic is used for a mix of routine pet care and urgent problems, with owners describing access to emergency appointments (including a Boxing Day visit) and, in some cases, out-of-hours support and home visits. Specific treatments mentioned include lump removal surgery, investigation and surgery to remove a grass seed from a paw, and treatment for a urinary tract infection. Pricing is frequently described as “reasonable” by some owners, but one reviewer strongly disagrees and reports being asked for payment before treatment during an emergency visit.

Medivet Welton is part of the Medivet group and is set up for both routine appointments and urgent cases, with access to 24/7 emergency care through Medivet’s network.

Reviews also highlight thorough consultations (including attempts at a dental check during a cat’s appointment) and a consistent feeling from some clients that appointments focus on the pet’s wellbeing rather than “money”.

Vicarage Veterinary Centre is described by reviewers as an independent, family-owned practice, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on reviews, the clinic appears set up for both routine consults and urgent/same-day problems, with examples including being told to “bring her straight in” after a cat collapsed, and fitting in a late-evening assessment for a deteriorating puppy. Concrete examples owners mention include x‑rays to investigate dental disease in a guinea pig, major surgery for small pets, and bladder blockage surgery planning and stabilisation (including draining the bladder to keep a dog comfortable overnight before surgery). Several reviews also highlight clear explanations of options (e.g., trying antibiotics and diet changes before considering surgery, or discussing euthanasia when treatment would be complex).
