London Vet Specialists

London Vet Specialists operates as part of Linnaeus Veterinary Limited (a corporate veterinary group). It presents itself as a specialist referral centre with a multidisciplinary team, and reviews describe complex cases including cancer work-ups and surgery, and soft palate surgery with an intensive care stay. The website also highlights an orthopaedic pathway: TPLO cases seen within 48 hours (as stated) and a fixed TPLO price of £4,750 across all patient weights. Recent reviews are mostly positive about clinical outcomes and support, but there’s a clear conflict on service experience: some describe staff “going above and beyond,” while one reviewer reports slow responses to emails and follow-up requests alongside very high fees.
