Dog & Cat Vets in Greater London

Poplar Vets is a small‑animal clinic for dogs, cats and other small pets, with in‑house diagnostic facilities mentioned on its website (X‑rays and ultrasound) and a broad menu of services including routine care, surgery and dental work. The website also states emergency vet services are provided and that the practice is a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews paint a mixed picture: some owners describe detailed cost explanations before treatment, quick access to short‑notice appointments when a pet’s condition changes, and proactive follow‑up calls/updates; others allege disorganisation, attempted overcharging for a heart scan (£1,000 quoted vs £600 elsewhere), and serious concerns about clinical judgement/handling of a long‑term lump that was reportedly not tested until much later.

Goddard Veterinary Group Mile End is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (not an independent clinic) and is RCVS accredited. The clinic offers routine appointments with vets and nurses, on-site diagnostics (including blood testing and X-ray), and dentistry; the website also states emergency care is provided via a nearby 24/7 hospital (open 365 days a year). From the latest reviews available to us, recent concerns focus on pricing and treatment recommendations: examples include a reported £2,000 dental estimate and complaints about needing appointments for prescriptions/flea treatment, along with one review alleging poor continuity between vets and another citing rude handling on an emergency line call.

Recent reviews include multiple owners describing urgent injury workups with imaging and same-day care (including X‑rays and surgery), alongside a small number of serious complaints about communication and a disputed diagnosis.

Goddard Veterinary Group Hayes End is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (a multi-branch group practice). The practice appears set up for routine and preventative care with in-house diagnostics (on-site blood testing and X-ray/diagnostic imaging), plus a defined pathway for urgent cases via a 24/7 emergency vet hospital (the website names Mandeville Veterinary Hospital). In the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention not feeling pushed into expensive treatments (including being advised cheaper alternatives and not being pushed to continue a cortisone injection course), while a minority report long waits vs. the time they were told (10 minutes becoming about an hour, with no apology/explanation). Concrete specifics supported by the inputs: - Consultation fee of £55 mentioned by a reviewer. - Reviews describe vets discussing medication options and cheaper remedies, and thorough examinations. - The website lists on-site blood testing and X-ray/diagnostic imaging. - Reviews and the site both mention access to other branches with shared files, and an out-of-hours emergency hospital arrangement.

The website also states 24-hour in-patient and emergency care.

Tender Paws Ltd is a veterinary practice (no corporate group affiliation is stated in the provided information) that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Reviews suggest the clinic sees cats and birds (budgies), with owners mentioning same-day appointments for injuries and a separate/segregated area for cats, which some found helpful for stressed or nervous cats. Recent feedback is mixed: several cat owners describe kind handling and practical wound-care advice, while multiple bird owners describe a very negative experience involving minimal examination/testing and communication they felt was dismissive, specifically naming a vet called Judy.

Owner experiences in the latest reviews are split: several long-term clients describe rapid help in urgent situations (including a weekend-evening poisoning case where a dog was treated overnight), while two recent 1-star reviews report being hung up on during phone calls, including one where the caller says their cat was in critical condition.
