Dog & Cat Vets in Greater London

Midland Veterinary Surgery is a general veterinary practice (corporate group/ownership not stated) that appears set up for both routine care and common procedures, with some clients specifically describing surgery such as removal of an eyelid mass. The practice website references a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations. Across recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention clear, upfront discussion of treatment options and costs (including “no hard sell”), and practical support such as help with an insurance claim. End-of-life care is also referenced, including a condolence card after euthanasia.

Medivet 24 Hour Richmond is part of the Medivet group and is set up for round-the-clock urgent and inpatient care, with on-site intensive care and advanced diagnostics (including CT imaging and endoscopy). The website lists a broad surgical and medical toolkit (for example keyhole surgery, laser surgery/treatment, and an orthopaedic theatre), and reviews include multiple examples of owners being seen quickly in emergencies and given same-day treatment (such as an anti-emetic for a suddenly unwell dog). Recent feedback is mostly positive about thorough vets and helpful reception staff, but there is also a detailed negative account alleging pressure into costly tests/surgery and poor outcome communication after a post-whelping visit.

Medivet 24 Hour Beckenham is part of the Medivet group and is set up for round-the-clock emergency work, alongside routine care. The clinic is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe rapid escalation to emergency surgery (including “less than 2 hours” from arrival to surgery in one case), inpatient care lasting up to a week, and frequent, detailed updates—including being allowed to visit a hospitalised dog daily. There is also a conflicting account alleging poor communication between staff and feeling overcharged.

The Addison & Holland Park Veterinary Clinic is described by multiple reviewers as an independent practice, with several long-term clients noting that Dr Carmichael (also referred to as Mr Carmichael/Andrew) treated their pets for many years and passed away in February 2025. Recent experiences mention continuity of care from the remaining team, including reception staff and newer vets. Concrete details owners mention include: - A vet called Georgie “down-sold” medication (one owner said they were prescribed less than expected, unlike their prior experiences elsewhere). - Reception staff Sarah and Wendy are repeatedly named for giving advice and being helpful at the front desk. - The clinic handles end-of-life care (one review describes a euthanasia appointment in detail). - Some owners report breakdowns in follow-up and medication handling (e.g., delays/poor updates on ordering a drug; refusal to provide a prescription for online ordering), while others report consistently supportive care.

Medivet Wimbledon Kydd and Kydd Vets is part of the Medivet group. The practice is set up for routine care and surgery (a cat spay is specifically mentioned in reviews), with 24/7 emergency care advertised on its website and an overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 (for consultations between 7pm and 9am). Recent reviewers repeatedly mention straightforward appointment booking and gentle handling during visits, including for a nervous first-time client and during end-of-life care for a long-term dog.

Medivet Ickenham is part of the Medivet group and offers routine and diagnostic veterinary care for cats, dogs and rabbits, with facilities such as X‑ray and an in‑house laboratory. The website highlights longer, 15‑minute consultations, plus nurse clinics and home visits. Recent reviews repeatedly mention pets being kept calm during appointments and procedures; one owner described a cat neutering where the team gave detailed aftercare information, called the next day to check in, and even shared photos taken during the stay.

Beckenham Vets for Pets describes itself as a locally owned practice operating under the Vets for Pets brand, based inside a Pets at Home store. The clinic presents itself as set up for small-animal medicine, with on-site imaging (X‑ray/ultrasound) and surgical work (including dental surgery and orthopaedics), plus facilities such as an oxygen chamber and separate cat and dog waiting areas. It is also listed as a Silver-accredited Cat Friendly Clinic. From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of procedures and costs, and proactive updates during the day of surgery (including WhatsApp messages and photos during a dog’s spay and a cat’s castration). There are also specific examples of handling nervous dogs patiently (sitting on the floor with the dog until he calmed) and follow-up checks after neutering.

Medivet Islington Cross Street is part of the Medivet group, led on-site by veterinary surgeon David Rubiera‑Conesa, and set up for general practice care with diagnostic support (in‑house lab, X‑rays and ultrasound) plus cardiology-related work (ECG and cardiology listed as a specialty). The clinic offers 15‑minute consultations and nurse clinics, and owners mention practical admin support such as help with pet travel documentation (animal health certificates). Reviews frequently describe clear explanations from the lead vet and responsive communication (including quick replies to emailed concerns), alongside one detailed complaint about being pushed toward extra tests/dental work and problems accessing plan benefits.

Norbury Pet Health Centre describes itself as an independent, small veterinary practice that’s been established for around 55 years, with digital x‑ray and ultrasound listed on its site. For out-of-hours care, it states cases are handled by The South London Emergency Veterinary Centre. From the latest reviews, owners most often mention: - WhatsApp messaging for advice and arranging appointments, including reassurance and next-day check-ups for a newly rescued kitten. - Routine surgery with structured follow-up, e.g., a cat spay where two follow-up checks were included as standard. - End-of-life support, including a home visit euthanasia (during a lunch period), time given to say goodbye, and an unexpected condolence letter afterwards. There is also a clear conflict in experiences: one recent reviewer describes a lack of urgency and no blood tests/further examination offered for a deteriorating dog, while many others describe the team as responsive and supportive in stressful situations.

All Creatures Clinic Chelsfield describes itself as an independent practice, but its website text also references DNA Vetcare Ltd, and one reviewer mentions being able to use the wider group’s 24‑hour emergency care with shared access to records. The clinic appears set up for general practice work plus diagnostics and procedures, with the website listing surgery & medicine, preventative health, health checks, hospitalisation, and pet travel. It is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From recent reviews, owners most often mention: - Clear diagnosis supported by imaging (e.g., arthritis suspected clinically and confirmed by x‑ray). - Same‑day/urgent problem-solving (e.g., suspected grass seed in an ear, with sedation offered to remove it). - Low-stress handling and communication (e.g., gentle approach with cats; anxious dogs coping well; updates when running behind). - A mixed picture on testing and costs: some owners praise not being pushed into unnecessary tests, while others describe feeling steered toward “expensive tests” and report high overall spend during complex cases.
