Goddard Veterinary Group Highbury

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.
