Dog & Cat Vets in Greater London

Pickles Vets describes itself as a membership-only practice with no consultation fees under its membership model, plus easy in-app appointment booking and chat. The clinic is set up for routine primary care (vaccinations, microchipping) as well as on-site diagnostics (in-house lab, X‑ray, ultrasound), with surgery and dentistry listed. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention being able to get seen quickly for urgent worries (including a dog checked after being hit by a bike) and valuing the reduced anxiety around consultation costs due to the subscription approach.

The Urban Vet describes itself as an independent clinic with an emphasis on preventative care, 20‑minute appointments, and trying to book pets with the same vet each visit for continuity. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and more involved medical work, with in‑house diagnostics (lab tests, X‑ray, ultrasound) and procedures including laparoscopy, plus a dedicated dermatology clinic. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention feeling well informed and not rushed, including one account of a vet taking time to explain the pros/cons, science, and ethical considerations behind different options. Several reviews describe ongoing case management (e.g., months of allergy work‑ups, a cat with a long‑term condition), and one describes a case involving two X‑rays and major surgery for a suspected foreign body.

Fauna Veterinary is an independent clinic (not described as part of a corporate group) that presents itself as welcoming “pets of every kind,” and is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews describe a practice that’s set up for both routine care (annual boosters, parasite prevention) and same-day problem solving (an eye issue “seen without delay,” and a foxtail/grass dart up the nose handled with sedation). Owners repeatedly mention a calm, slow-paced visit style for nervous dogs, plus practical touches like vaccination reminders and flea/worming tablets delivered on time via a pet plan. One recent review strongly disputes the experience, alleging the clinic is “a money making machine,” which conflicts with the predominantly positive feedback.

IVET Services (Elizavet) describes itself as an independent veterinary clinic, offering routine care alongside advanced surgery and telemedicine. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe the clinic being used for orthopaedic and other complex surgical cases (including TPLO for cruciate ligament damage, fracture repair, and tumour removal), with clear emphasis on detailed explanations before/after procedures. Concrete examples mentioned include: post-op update calls (e.g., a spay patient’s owner called mid-morning to confirm recovery), rehab support after TPLO (hydrotherapy and physiotherapy referenced), and visual explanations of surgical plans (a vet using 3D models/screen to explain procedures and prosthetic parts). The clinic website also states 24/7 emergency care, with advice to call before travelling.

Vet in the City is an independent veterinary practice (as stated on its website). From what’s described on the site and in recent reviews, it appears set up for routine care through to surgery, with owners repeatedly mentioning thorough consultations and a personalised approach. Concrete examples from reviews include dental treatment for cats with care “before, during and after”, help investigating a puppy’s food allergies and digestive issues to find the root cause, and a practice environment described as clean with staff who answer questions patiently.

All Creatures Clinic Locksbottom describes itself as an independent veterinary surgery, owned and run by vets, offering a full range of care from preventative work through to routine and advanced surgery and hospitalisation. Recent reviews repeatedly mention access to appointments at short notice (including same-day), clear explanations “in simple terms,” and follow-up after advice (one owner says the clinic called to check up). Practical details also come up, such as a spacious reception area, and one reviewer notes the team scanned a found cat’s microchip to help reunite her with her owners.

Paxton Veterinary Clinics Ltd is a small-animal practice (ownership group not stated) offering routine consultations and health checks, plus practical extras like relocation assistance and pet travel discounts. Recent reviews repeatedly mention support for anxious or nervous pets (including a rescue dog and a scared dog returning to vets after bad prior experiences), and straightforward appointment access (same-day slots and online booking mentioned). The clinic also seems set up to help coordinate urgent care when needed—one reviewer says Emily helped arrange an emergency vet for their cat. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include a “nice big reception area,” appointments “run to time,” and a vet choosing medication to help a fearful dog relax for a follow-up visit rather than forcing an exam.

Village Vet Garden Suburb is part of the Village Vet group (“a family of veterinary practices,” per the clinic website) and is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest reviews, the practice seems geared towards routine care and ongoing health plans (owners mention a monthly plan covering consultations and vaccinations) as well as urgent same-day assessment and end-of-life support (one owner reports being told to bring their elderly dog in immediately and being supported through their dog’s final moments). Multiple reviewers also mention long-term continuity with the same vet, Danny, over many years.

C J Hall Veterinary Surgeons presents itself as an independent practice, with a stated focus on rabbit and exotic pet care alongside cat and dog care. Based on both the website text and recent reviews, it appears set up for first-opinion exotics work and referrals from other vets, with owners repeatedly describing detailed consultations and clear explanations (including discussion of x‑rays). Recent reviews include multiple examples of urgent or complex exotic cases being managed (e.g., bladder stones, swellings, serious infections in guinea pigs), as well as hospital admission and euthanasia being part of some clients’ experiences. Reviews also conflict on responsiveness and communication: several describe being “seen quickly” when worried, while one detailed review describes not receiving a response to a complaint and being advised a case was “not an emergency.”

Medivet Teddington is part of the Medivet group and offers routine care plus in-practice diagnostics (in-house lab and X‑rays), with out-of-hours cover via an affiliated Medivet 24‑hour service. Based on its stated services, it’s set up for day-to-day preventive care (vaccinations, parasite treatment, microchipping) as well as procedures such as neutering and dentistry, and it also offers home visits. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations during appointments, phone updates while pets are in for operations, and prompt follow-up checks afterwards.
