Blue Cross Animal Hospital
King St
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. Concrete details owners mention include: - A nurse taking time to explain a general-anaesthetic procedure, invite questions, and go through aftercare at collection. - Supportive handling of an older dog who “wasn’t well,” including kindness to the family. - At least one case where a problem was identified “almost right away” and treated quickly. - A contrasting report of poor phone communication (rushed, not listening) on the main booking line.

Medivet Yeading – Pet Vaccination Centre is part of the Medivet group and positions itself as a vaccination-focused practice with access to Medivet’s network of 24-hour emergency centres (overnight emergency consultation fee listed as £130 for 7pm–9am). The clinic is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From recent reviews, owners most often mention being able to get same-day (sometimes same-hour) appointments and coming in for ongoing treatments such as regular injections. Reception staff are repeatedly singled out for being friendly and helpful, and two vets (Dr Mateus and Dr Jamie) are praised for clear explanations and careful handling. There’s also a clear split in experiences: alongside many long-term clients reporting good support, several reviewers describe serious concerns including persistent appointment delays with little communication, and allegations of inappropriate medication/injections and poor outcomes.

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. A smaller number of reviews raise concerns about fees and front‑desk/management communication, including one report of a dog’s anal gland problem not being resolved after a paid treatment and another describing a dispute around a pet care plan and follow-up emails.

Goddard Veterinary Group Kennington
Kennington

Animal Ark Veterinary Centre
Goodmayes
Animal Ark Veterinary Centre is accredited under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Standards Scheme and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Clinic data also indicates emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). 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. One review claims the practice is owned by Linnaeus (Mars group); this ownership isn’t confirmed by the other information provided here.

The Pet Vet Waltham Forest
Circular Point
The Pet Vet Waltham Forest describes itself as independent and family-owned (website). It offers routine, emergency, and at-home appointments (website), and states it can see pets 7 days a week for emergencies and out-of-hours with no surcharge for weekends/evenings/bank holidays, including for unregistered customers (website). Recent reviews suggest the clinic is set up for busy, appointment-led general practice with dental work: one owner describes a teeth clean under general anaesthetic with 4 extractions and multiple same-day update calls (review), and another mentions receiving a follow-up email outlining a care plan and options (review). However, experiences conflict sharply—some owners praise access and communication, while others report long waits for booked appointments, rudeness at reception, and feeling pushed toward costly treatment or billing handled insensitively (reviews).

Petwell House Vets
South Hayes
Petwell House Vets is part of the Animals Are Us group (website: animalsareus.co.uk). Based on the clinic’s own service listings and recent client reports, it appears set up for both routine appointments and urgent cases, with emergency veterinary services described as 24/7 or extended hours, and it is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. In the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention fast access to care (including getting an appointment within an hour and being seen quickly when a dog was unwell), clear explanations from vets, and supportive handling in difficult situations (including euthanasia with keepsakes such as paw prints). There are also accounts of surgery with owners kept informed throughout, plus at least one review raising concerns about pricing transparency and whether some vaccinations were necessary.

Poplar Vets
Poplar
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.
