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. Owners repeatedly mention calm, professional handling and clear explanations—one review describes the team providing immediate emergency care after a road traffic accident and using microchip details to contact the owner.

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).
