Dog & Cat Vets in Greater London

Parish Lane Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice and notes RCVS Accreditation. The website lists a broad “surgery & medicine” setup alongside preventative care, hospitalisation and pet travel advice, with out-of-hours emergencies handled via a separate contact arrangement. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations and continuity of care (seeing the same vet over multiple visits), plus specific examples like a 3‑day post‑neuter follow‑up and vets taking time to talk owners through options.

Uxbridge Vets describes itself as independent (not part of a group) and offers routine care alongside capabilities like in-house laboratory testing and laparoscopic surgery. The website also highlights a calmer setup with separate dog and cat waiting areas, and offers out-of-hours emergency care via a separate phone number. From the latest reviews available, owners commonly mention clear explanations and not feeling rushed in consults, and some describe staff being particularly supportive during end-of-life care. There are also a couple of serious complaints: one review alleges a costly dental work-up that didn’t resolve the problem (followed by missed follow-up contact), and another describes a miscommunication around vaccination timing that led to a suggestion to restart the vaccine course.

Medivet Welling is part of the Medivet group (a corporate practice) and offers routine appointments alongside diagnostics and procedures supported by on-site imaging and lab facilities. Based on its website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both preventative care (regular check-ups and nurse clinics) and common surgeries such as spays, with clear communication during visits. Concrete specifics owners mention include: being kept updated during a spay “all the way until pick up”; vets explaining findings clearly and giving options; handling nervous or shy pets in a way that keeps them calm during exams; and practical, same-visit care such as nail clipping during an older cat’s check-up.

West Wickham Veterinary Surgery is a purpose-built, independent small-animal practice, part of an independent group founded in 2006 by veterinary surgeons Alan van Heerden and Dane Walker (as stated on the clinic’s website). The clinic covers routine care through to surgery and medicine, and for 24-hour emergency care it says patients can access a larger 24-hour hospital within the same group. Recent reviews most often describe clear explanations of options/next steps, calm handling of nervous pets, and treatment for a mix of routine and more complex issues (examples include ear infection with seizures, dental extractions, and booster visits/check-ups).

The Animal Clinic describes itself as an independent veterinary surgery that’s part of the London Veterinary Surgeries group. The website highlights a purpose-built hospital, plus routine and medical/surgical care, and it holds ISFM Silver Cat Friendly Clinic status. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention smooth appointments and approachable staff, including at least one example of an urgent appointment on Christmas Eve with tests done the same day. A small note of inconsistency also appears: one owner felt a vet they saw “wasn’t that friendly” compared with other vets they’d met before.

Hill Park Veterinary Group is an independent, two-branch practice (described as independent since 1986) and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews repeatedly mention being fitted in at short notice (including “last minute” appointments and being seen early when a slot opened up), clear explanations of diagnosis/treatment “in plain English,” and ongoing support around procedures (one owner describes surgery for a benign tumour with “after-care” highlighted). Several owners also point to a long relationship with the practice over decades, including care from early-life stages through to end-of-life.

Animal Choice is a small-practice-style vet clinic (one reviewer says it “feels like a family run business rather than a big corporate”). It appears set up for day-to-day primary care plus ongoing management of chronic issues: owners mention allergy care, vaccinations/injections, infections treated with antibiotics, and “operations big and small.” Practical touches come up repeatedly, including same-day appointments when pets are unwell, phone advice on whether a pet needs to be seen, and help with submitting regular treatments to insurers. Home care is also referenced: one owner reports a home visit arranged within an hour for a cat with an infection, and another says the team recommended a locum for euthanasia at home for a cat that became very stressed leaving the house.

Passey Place Veterinary Surgery describes itself as a fully independent, long-established small-animal practice. The website highlights on-site hospital care and a laboratory, alongside routine consultations and surgery (including neutering for dogs, cats and rabbits). In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention clear explanations and transparency around costs—one person says the team “never try pushing promotional products”—and there are specific examples of urgent care, including a cat admitted quickly for an emergency with pain relief that led to normal walking again.

Wolfe Vets is a small-animal practice where reviews repeatedly mention both routine care (check-ups, vaccinations, parasite prevention) and more serious cases (surgery, chronic disease management, and urgent/emergency presentations). Ownership (independent vs. group) isn’t stated in the information provided. Decision-relevant specifics owners describe include: - A “Wolfe Pack” subscription that one reviewer says covers vaccinations and flea/worm treatment, and allows vet visits “at no extra cost.” - Clear explanations of treatment options “without any pushiness,” including when urgent appointments were needed. - Follow-ups that are described as “smooth and professional,” including ongoing medication management for an older cat with kidney failure and a chest tumour. - Out-of-hours/emergency support and inpatient care are mentioned, including surgery for grass-seed incidents and “two overnight stays” during a prolonged illness.

Tottenham Hale Vets4Pets is a Vets4Pets practice that describes itself as “locally owned and run,” and it’s set up as a modern, well‑equipped clinic with an in‑house lab, digital X‑ray/ultrasound, an operating theatre, and separate cat/dog waiting and ward areas (plus isolation units). Reviews most often talk about routine and ongoing cat/dog care (including dental cleaning, vomiting/urgent GI signs, kidney disease management, and palliative support), with multiple owners highlighting clear updates during treatment and a focus on not over-medicating. There is also a clear conflict in recent feedback around avian/exotic care: two 1‑star reviews describe a distressing experience with a bird (including perceived lack of stabilisation/first aid and poor handling of a requested leg band removal), while the clinic’s published service list focuses on small animals and small mammals rather than birds. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Dental teeth cleaning for two dogs with ongoing updates throughout the visit. - A cat with vomiting (including vomiting blood) kept in for several hours for injections, a full check‑up, and monitoring, then discharged the same day. - Treatment support for a cat with a kidney issue and several months of palliative care for another cat. - Multiple mentions of staff taking extra time to handle anxious cats calmly.
