Dog & Cat Vets in Greater London

Medivet Hornsey is part of the Medivet group. It’s set up for both routine care and urgent problems: reviewers mention same-day emergency appointments (including for pets not registered) as well as planned procedures like cat spaying/neutering with detailed drop-off and aftercare explanations. The practice is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviewers describe calm, step-by-step handling for anxious and reactive dogs (including getting a large reactive dog onto the scales and into a treatment room), and same-day referrals when specialist input was needed (an oncology referral issued the same day). One recent review strongly disputes the quality and ethics of care around a seriously ill cat (alleged misdiagnosis and high-cost recommendations), so experiences appear mixed in complex cases.

Virtue Vets The Boltons describes itself as an independent clinic founded by pet parents and vets, offering primary and advanced care with most diagnostics, workups and surgeries done in-house. The website also states that emergencies are charged at the same price as regular care, and the clinic has dedicated surgical, dental and imaging suites. From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention dental work (including infected tooth removal and extractions with sedation), rehab services (weekly hydrotherapy and physiotherapy), and a cat-specific setup (a room dedicated for cats). Several reviewers also comment on modern equipment and a smooth switching process when moving to the practice.

Home Vets Central London is an independent in-home veterinary service established in 2013, focused on providing consultations at home for dogs and cats. The website emphasises “unrushed” appointment time and personalised care; recent reviews back this up with repeated mentions of pets staying calmer because they don’t need to travel. Owners also highlight clear booking/availability information and gentle handling to reduce stress during consultations. Named vets mentioned in reviews include Dr Jose and Dr Cesar, with one reviewer describing support over 3–4 years and quick responses to queries from Nuria.

Eco Vets Wandsworth is described by a long-term client as an independent practice (not part of a large corporate group). Reviews most often mention routine puppy/kitten care (first check-ups and vaccinations) alongside support for more complex problems, including a cat with seizures who wasn’t discharged until the team were satisfied with a diagnosis of epilepsy. Owners also describe proactive follow-up, such as the team messaging to check in after diagnosis and offering health checks and blood work, and several reviews highlight a calm, gentle approach with nervous dogs.

Twickenham Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe long-term use of the practice (including multi-year care for dogs and cats) and highlight clear explanations during appointments. Several specific services are repeatedly mentioned, including puppy vaccinations and check-ups, microchipping (with one reviewer noting they were charged only for the microchip), and a monthly “Healthy Pet Club” plan that includes routine preventative care. One recent review conflicts with the generally positive feedback, describing poor service around reminders and questioning the value of monthly fees.

Village Vet Brook Green is part of the Village Vet group (reviews also describe it as being owned by a larger group). The practice appears set up for routine preventative care for dogs and cats (vaccinations, parasite treatment, senior-pet care) alongside common procedures like neutering and dental care. The website also mentions stem cell therapy for dogs and cats. From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly describe a calm, reassuring front-of-house experience—especially for nervous owners—and consultations where staff take time to explain and answer questions. One recent review describes the opposite: feeling pushed toward a monthly subscription, a requested nail trim not being done, and confusion around booking a second vaccination dose after payment.

Goddard Veterinary Group is part of a larger veterinary group (44 practices and 3 hospitals) that’s been operating since 1952, and the group states all its practices and hospitals are RCVS accredited. Based on the website, it’s set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping) with an optional monthly plan that includes a mid-year nurse assessment and discounts on common procedures. In the latest reviews available to us, one vet in particular (Richard Thomas) is repeatedly named for clear, practical advice—especially for cats with difficult or unusual health situations—and there’s also mention of being seen “at short notice.”

Medivet Islington Liverpool Road is part of the Medivet group and is described (in structured clinic data) as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews suggest it’s set up for routine care and preventive visits (vaccinations, check-ups, and pet “pamper” style appointments), with several owners mentioning being fit in at short notice and receiving thorough examinations, including for nervous dogs. One recent review conflicts with this, reporting a booked appointment where the practice did not open and no prior notification was received, plus frustration with follow-up communication.

Goddard Veterinary Group Ilford is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (not an independent practice). The clinic is RCVS accredited, offers on-site blood testing, x-rays and operations, and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews frequently describe the team fitting in urgent, last-minute appointments (including for small animals) and being thorough in examinations—for example, a rabbit with a suspected fracture was rechecked and treated with pain relief, and owners reported a good recovery. A recurring practical downside in the latest reviews is difficulty getting through by phone, alongside otherwise positive care experiences.

Medivet 24 Hour Kensington is part of the Medivet group and is set up for round-the-clock care, with 24-hour emergency cover and intensive care listed on its website. Beyond emergencies, it advertises advanced diagnostics and surgery (including CT imaging, endoscopy, ultrasound, keyhole surgery, and an orthopaedic theatre) alongside routine services like vaccinations, neutering, microchipping, and parasite care. Recent reviews frequently describe reassuring communication during urgent visits (including out-of-hours) and mention pets being admitted for ongoing care, but one recent reviewer reports serious frustration with travel paperwork advice/timelines and later billing follow-up, alongside a stated charge of £587.
