Emergency Vets in Greater London

Goddard Veterinary Group Kennington is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (in the group since 2001) and is RCVS-accredited. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and in-house procedures, with blood testing, X-ray and operations listed, and it also handles a wide range of pets (including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and reptiles). Emergency care is described as being provided via a separate 24/7 emergency hospital (Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital).

YourVets is part of the YourVets veterinary group and offers a broad small‑animal, general-practice setup (consultations through to surgery, diagnostics, and nurse clinics). Owners most often mention good appointment access (able to get through by phone, appointments available within a short timescale, and being seen close to the booked time) and clear cost communication during the consult (with one reviewer highlighting being told costs by the vet before paying, and receiving a refund when the estimate was higher than the final cost). Reviews also include support around end-of-life care (a vet named Cheryl praised during euthanasia) and surgical care for kittens (“operations” mentioned).

Blue Cross Animal Hospital is part of the Blue Cross organisation (a charity), and is set up for both routine and higher-stakes care: reviews mention a procedure under general anaesthetic and rapid diagnosis/treatment that got a pet home “the next day.” It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Recent feedback is mostly positive about in-clinic communication and kindness, but one very recent review reports an unhelpful, rushed experience when calling the main appointment line.

New Cross PDSA Pet Hospital (part of the PDSA charity) focuses on free and low-cost veterinary care for pets whose owners may struggle with private fees. Based on the information available, it handles routine medical workups (for example, blood tests leading to a hyperthyroidism diagnosis and medication supplied within the same week) as well as more serious care such as surgery and end-of-life support (euthanasia is described in one review). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews, owners describe a mix of experiences: some report clear explanations and options being discussed (including a dog needing full dental extractions), while others report being pushed toward invasive, expensive procedures with little explanation and say second opinions elsewhere did not support those recommendations. Practical policies also come up—one reviewer states they were turned away for arriving 15 minutes late due to a 5‑minute grace period and 15‑minute consultation slots, while another says they missed an appointment but were still accommodated shortly after.

Medivet Canonbury – Canonbury Veterinary Practice is part of the Medivet group. It’s set up for routine consultations for cats and dogs, and the available information also flags it as a veterinary nurse training facility and offering emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews repeatedly mention staff explaining options clearly (including “non‑pushy” recommendations) and helping owners with practicalities like pet insurance.

Goddard Veterinary Group Walthamstow is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group and describes itself as RCVS-accredited and operating as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the website and reviews, it handles routine care (vaccines, microchipping, parasite treatment) as well as medical and urgent cases (examples in reviews include an infected puncture wound/abscess drainage and a cat bladder blockage with a 3‑night stay). Review experiences are mixed: several owners describe strong medical care with daily update calls during inpatient treatment and compassionate end-of-life support, while others report difficulty getting appointments, feeling pushed toward costly tests, and inconsistent advice attributed (by the clinic, per one review) to staff turnover.

Independent emergency and referral clinic operating since 2000, set up for acute cases that may need rapid diagnostics and hospital-level monitoring. The website highlights an intensive care unit, in-house lab work, and imaging (digital X‑ray/ultrasound), and reviews describe pets being seen quickly late at night and kept in overnight care when needed. Recent reviewers mention treatment for a blocked bladder in a cat and urgent management after a dog ingested something toxic, with staff keeping owners informed and explaining the plan.
