Village Vet Highbury is part of the Village Vet group and describes itself as a modern, state-of-the-art practice offering routine care (including nurse clinics, preventive treatments, and dentistry) as well as internal medicine. For out-of-hours and emergencies, it states cases are handled by the group’s Hampstead practice, which is open 24/7. From the latest reviews available to us, owners mention: - staff taking time to calm a very anxious dog during a visit (receptionist and vet both involved) - phone advice and support arranging a sooner appointment for a guinea pig - a conflicting negative report alleging “discriminatory behaviour,” alongside a separate complaint that the website didn’t work

Goddard Veterinary Group Highbury is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group. The practice advertises on-site diagnostics (including blood testing and x‑ray) alongside routine vet care, and directs emergency/out-of-hours cases to Wanstead Veterinary Hospital (open 24/7, 365 days a year). The website also offers a free new pet health check, which is echoed in recent reviews where owners describe getting a new-pet check within two days and receiving practical advice. Recent reviewers repeatedly name individual staff for clear explanations and helpful front-desk support, and mention gentle handling during a nail trim.
