Dog & Cat Vets in Kensington

## Summary Kensington Veterinary Care describes itself as a fully independent (non-corporate) practice that has been providing pet care for 20+ years. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine preventative care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping) and more involved work such as surgery and diagnostics (an on-site X‑ray suite is listed). It also advertises a 24‑hour emergency vet service. Recent reviews include both positive and negative experiences around travel paperwork: one owner praised the clinic for handling flight paperwork professionally, while another reports their Animal Health Certificate could not be completed on the day of travel due to missing documents and says they were not warned in advance. ## Services Services explicitly mentioned on the clinic website include: - General vet consultations and pet health checks - Vaccinations - Microchipping - Flea, tick, and worm treatment - Neutering - Dental care - Surgery (one recent review mentions leg surgery for a small dog) - Testing and diagnosis - X‑ray suite (listed facility) - Pet travel advice - Animal Health Certificates - Export Health Certificates - 24‑hour emergency vet service (as stated on the website) ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.4 stars from 176 reviews.** **Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.** - **Surgery experience and cost discussions:** one owner reports their dog had leg surgery and says they were *not pushed* into a more expensive procedure. - **Travel documentation:** one reviewer says the clinic “sorted out” paperwork for an upcoming long flight; another reports an Animal Health Certificate could not be produced on the agreed day because required documents were not available. - **Communication and planning (mixed):** the negative review specifically criticises lack of advance warning before an appointment where the certificate could not be completed, and says they were not referred on when problems arose.
