Dog & Cat Vets in Greater London

Whiskers 'N' Beans LTD is a home-visit veterinary service focused exclusively on cats. The clinic emphasises feline medicine and feline health and well-being, with routine consultations delivered in the cat’s home environment. For emergencies outside normal hours, they don’t run their own out-of-hours service; instead, they use a dedicated emergency number that connects to Veteris, an out-of-hours provider specialising in emergency home visits.

NoviVet is described by reviewers as an independent veterinary practice. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and more involved cases, with an in-house laboratory and x‑ray noted on its website, and owners mentioning operations, diagnosis plus medication, and support around end‑of‑life decisions. Decision-relevant specifics owners repeatedly mention include: - Fast access when urgent: multiple reviews describe getting a same-day appointment, including when another practice couldn’t offer one. - Clear, step-by-step explanations: vets are described as explaining findings during the exam and, in one case, using drawings to show how an operation would be carried out. - Nervous/anxious dogs handled calmly: owners report their dogs being noticeably more relaxed, with staff “fussing” them and helping them settle. - Flexibility for euthanasia: one owner reports the team stayed open late to allow time at home before a dog was put to sleep.

Independent veterinary practice (founded in 2021 by Dr. Ellie and Dr. Michael, who also work as full‑time vets there). The clinic appears set up for both routine care and more involved cases, with in‑house diagnostics (IDEXX lab, digital X‑ray, ultrasound, microscopy) plus facilities such as a separate cat clinic and Casco kennels. From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention: - Same‑day help when something suddenly goes wrong (including being seen immediately when arriving without an appointment for vomiting/shaking). - Clear diagnostics and targeted treatment (e.g., an ear infection that had persisted elsewhere improved within a week after “the right tests and treatment”). - Surgical care with ongoing communication (updates during procedures and a next‑day check‑in after surgery were specifically mentioned). - Paperwork support for travel/export certificates, including very fast turnaround when pet passports were lost.

Greenwood Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent practice (established for 27+ years) and is set up for general small‑animal care for cats and dogs, with on-site diagnostic and anaesthetic monitoring equipment. Recent reviews repeatedly mention long-term relationships with the same vets (spanning many years), prompt care for urgent injuries (including a cat with severe trauma), and dental work done under general anaesthetic (including multiple tooth extractions). Owners also describe vets taking time to explain options and provide second opinions—one review says their cat improved after a second opinion when euthanasia was being considered elsewhere.

Veteris Clapham 24 Hour Animal Hospital & Urgent Care provides 24/7 urgent care alongside a mobile vet service for home visits. The website describes a phone triage system for emergencies, with home visits by a veterinary surgeon if needed, and care for cats, dogs, and exotic pets. Recent reviews repeatedly describe time-critical help outside normal hours (including middle-of-the-night call-outs), pets being admitted overnight for monitoring, and owners being kept updated during hospital stays. Several reviews also mention structured follow-up after a visit (including calls the next day and again a few days later to check progress and confirm reports were received).

Paragon Veterinary Group is a long‑established practice (the website cites 80+ years) that treats pets alongside equine and farm animals, and is affiliated with XLVets. It also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility (per the provided clinic data). Reviews most often point to practical access and clear explanations: owners mention getting appointments at short notice for older cats, staff talking through what a dog needed and the treatments provided, and out‑of‑hours emergency appointments where they were seen within about half an hour of calling. Several reviews also describe thoughtful setup for cats, including a separate small‑animal waiting room and a screened cat waiting area.

Petals Vets describes itself as a truly independent veterinary practice, built by a team with over a decade of experience. Based on recent reviews, the clinic appears set up for both routine preventative care and more involved procedures, with an emphasis on handling nervous pets calmly and taking time to work at the animal’s pace. Concrete examples owners mention include routine flea/worming visits for kittens, dental work involving multiple tooth extractions (one dog had 9 teeth removed), aftercare appointments included as part of treatment, and updates during treatment such as a photo message to the owner.

Peckham Veterinary Surgery is a purpose-built, independent small-animal practice offering routine care through to advanced surgery. The website says it’s part of an independent group founded in 2006 by veterinary surgeons Alan van Heerden and Dane Walker, and that Peckham patients can access 24-hour emergency care via a neighbouring partner clinic (named on the site as Streatham Hill Veterinary Surgery). Across recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention consultations that don’t feel rushed, clear explanations of options/next steps, and staff taking time to settle nervous or excitable pets (for example, an older “grumpy” Chihuahua who didn’t attempt to bite, and an excitable Staffie who took a treat from the vet). Surgical care is also specifically referenced, including neutering and post-op recovery where a pet was described as relaxed once home.

Medivet Stanmore is part of the Medivet group and offers routine appointments (15-minute consultations) as well as in-practice diagnostics (in-house laboratory and X‑rays). The practice also states it’s a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the website and reviews, it appears set up for everyday care (vaccinations, parasite care, microchipping, neutering, dentistry) plus some referral-style interests listed on the site (ophthalmology and cardiology). Owners most often describe short waiting times and calm, gentle handling—particularly for nervous cats—and there are specific examples of problem-solving in consults (one reviewer says their dog’s issue was quickly diagnosed and treated with medication, leading to a fast recovery). Out-of-hours care is provided via Medivet 24 Hour Hendon, with a stated consult fee of £130 and no charge for assessment by phone.

Medivet Hyde Park is part of the Medivet group (not an independent practice). The clinic is set up for routine dog and cat care (15‑minute consultations, nurse clinics, vaccinations, parasite care) as well as procedures and further work-ups—owners explicitly mention “surgeries and investigation tests” alongside day‑to‑day problems. From the latest reviews, decision-relevant specifics that come up repeatedly include: - vets being described as gentle and calming with nervous or shy pets (including a nervous dog who “was very relaxed” during the visit, and shy cats staying relaxed even for injections/medication) - appointment handling that sounds organised and low-friction (owners mention quick booking and not waiting long) - a consult style focused on options and explanation (one owner says the vet “offering options for treatment”; another notes he “did not try to oversell”) - examinations before routine treatments (a dog was examined before vaccination) The clinic also asks clients to return unused medications for safe disposal (as stated on the clinic’s website).
