Village Vet Primrose Hill

Village Vet Primrose Hill is part of the Village Vet group (joined in 2016) and is described on its website as mainly a consulting practice, with more surgical and diagnostic work handled through a larger sister branch. The clinic lists routine and preventive care (vaccinations, microchipping, parasite treatment, annual health checks) alongside ongoing-care areas like senior pet care, nutrition/obesity management, dental care and internal medicine. Out-of-hours emergencies are directed to a 24/7 Village Vet practice.

Recent reviews are mixed: some owners say they can “always get an appointment when needed” and that things are explained clearly, while others describe feeling pushed toward extra tests/treatments, report a high bill for a straightforward issue, or raise concerns about handling during procedures (including one account of a prolonged blood draw).
