Best Vets in Kensington and Chelsea – Complete Local Guide

Creature Comforts Notting Hill is part of the Creature Comforts brand, which the clinic website says operates multiple veterinary clinics. It treats dogs, cats and rabbits, and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

Owners repeatedly mention an app for booking appointments and tracking pets’ needs/notes, plus a generally calm clinic environment (including comments that the waiting area often isn’t crowded). Clinically, reviews reference vaccinations, surgery, and ongoing cancer-related visits, with several people highlighting clear explanations and vets seeking approval before treatment. The website also states emergency care is available during opening hours, with an out-of-hours provider used when the clinic is closed.

Medivet 24 Hour Kensington is part of the Medivet group and is set up for round-the-clock care, with 24-hour emergency cover and intensive care listed on its website. Beyond emergencies, it advertises advanced diagnostics and surgery (including CT imaging, endoscopy, ultrasound, keyhole surgery, and an orthopaedic theatre) alongside routine services like vaccinations, neutering, microchipping, and parasite care. Recent reviews frequently describe reassuring communication during urgent visits (including out-of-hours) and mention pets being admitted for ongoing care, but one recent reviewer reports serious frustration with travel paperwork advice/timelines and later billing follow-up, alongside a stated charge of £587.

Waggin' Tails Chelsea Veterinary Clinic operates as part of the DNA Vetcare Group and states it is RCVS accredited. The website lists core first-opinion services (including surgery & medicine, preventative healthcare, and puppy/kitten checks) and says 24-hour emergency care is available via a partnership with Elizabeth Street Veterinary Clinic. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe easy booking/contact, treatments that “worked well” with follow-up, and repeated long-term use over 4–5 years with the same team mentioned by name.

The Addison & Holland Park Veterinary Clinic is described by multiple reviewers as an independent practice, with several long-term clients noting that Dr Carmichael (also referred to as Mr Carmichael/Andrew) treated their pets for many years and passed away in February 2025. Recent experiences mention continuity of care from the remaining team, including reception staff and newer vets.

Concrete details owners mention include

• •A vet called Georgie “down-sold” medication (one owner said they were prescribed less than expected, unlike their prior experiences elsewhere).
• •Reception staff Sarah and Wendy are repeatedly named for giving advice and being helpful at the front desk.
• •The clinic handles end-of-life care (one review describes a euthanasia appointment in detail).
• •Some owners report breakdowns in follow-up and medication handling (e.g., delays/poor updates on ordering a drug; refusal to provide a prescription for online ordering), while others report consistently supportive care.

Creature Comforts Chelsea is an independent, vet-run clinic offering routine care plus on-site diagnostics and dentistry. The website highlights in-house laboratory testing, digital x-ray and ultrasound, and a full dental suite, with facilities designed around patient comfort (including separate cat and dog wards and climate-controlled kennels). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention a modern, clean clinic, plus strong communication during procedures—including being called mid-dental to discuss x-rays and agreeing a same-visit tooth extraction to avoid a second anaesthetic. Owners also mention practical touches for anxious pets (e.g., letting a nervous dog choose a treat).
