Featured Clinic Overview
## Summary Swale Veterinary Practice Ltd describes itself as providing “quality, affordable pet care… from routine checkups to specialised treatments.” It is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services. Based on the latest reviews available to us, the practice is frequently used for urgent problems as well as routine care: one dog was treated out of hours for a badly bleeding cut, with a general anaesthetic and sutures, and another was given a same-day appointment (about an hour after calling) after eating something it shouldn’t. Reviews also mention longer-term support for chronic illness (diabetes in multiple dogs). Alongside this, there is a conflicting account alleging an x‑ray miss (fracture reportedly not identified) and issues with reception interactions and billing. ## Services - Routine checkups (mentioned on the practice website). - “Specialised treatments” (mentioned on the practice website; not specified further in the available extract). - Emergency/out-of-hours care (listed in clinic data and described in reviews), including: - General anaesthetic and wound suturing after an accident with significant bleeding. - Same-day urgent appointment following ingestion of something inappropriate; exam, an injection, medication, and advice were provided. - Injury/lameness assessment and treatment (thorough examination for a limp/foot injury; medication given). - Diagnostic imaging is referenced in a negative review (x‑ray for suspected fracture), though details are disputed. - Ongoing management support for diabetes is mentioned by a long-term client. - Veterinary nurse training facility (listed in clinic data). ## People - Hazel (vet): Mentioned for out-of-hours emergency care, including administering a general anaesthetic and suturing a dog’s wound after an accident. - Gavin (vet): Described as calming and professional when examining and treating a dog that “hates having his feet examined.” - Linda (vet): Described as reassuring and thorough during an examination for a limp; also mentioned by a long-term client as someone who has “looked after” their dogs over many years. ## Reviews 4.7 stars from 285 reviews. Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - Fast access for urgent issues: one owner reports being seen about an hour after calling for a puppy that had eaten something it shouldn’t; another describes an out-of-hours vet being ready on arrival for an emergency. - Clear examples of treatment provided: GA and suturing for a serious cut; full exam plus an injection, medication, and advice after suspected ingestion; thorough exam and medication for a limp/foot injury. - Handling and manner with difficult examinations: a vet is specifically described as calming with a dog that resists having its feet examined. - Long-term support is mentioned: one client describes managing diabetes across multiple dogs with help from the team, and support around end-of-life (“saying good bye”). - Conflicting feedback about clinical accuracy and admin: one reviewer alleges an x‑ray missed a fracture (leading to their dog being put under twice), and reports rude reception interactions and incorrect billing/extra bills.

Elizabeth Street Veterinary Clinic describes itself as a 24-hour, independently owned small-animal practice, set up for both routine care and urgent presentations. The website emphasises round-the-clock availability and a “complete range of diagnostic, surgical and life monitoring services,” and recent reviews include owners arriving in urgent situations and describing prompt treatment and clear explanations. However, one recent reviewer reports repeated admin errors (prescriptions/medications taking multiple attempts) and costs not explained upfront, which conflicts with other reviews praising clarity and efficiency.
