Medivet 24 Hour Richmond is part of the Medivet group and is set up for round-the-clock urgent and inpatient care, with on-site intensive care and advanced diagnostics (including CT imaging and endoscopy). The website lists a broad surgical and medical toolkit (for example keyhole surgery, laser surgery/treatment, and an orthopaedic theatre), and reviews include multiple examples of owners being seen quickly in emergencies and given same-day treatment (such as an anti-emetic for a suddenly unwell dog). Recent feedback is mostly positive about thorough vets and helpful reception staff, but there is also a detailed negative account alleging pressure into costly tests/surgery and poor outcome communication after a post-whelping visit.

Pennine Veterinary Referrals is a referral practice focused on complex surgical and imaging-led cases in dogs, with a Veterinary Nurse Training facility listed in its services. Recent reviews repeatedly describe orthopaedic and spinal/neurology problems being worked up quickly with advanced diagnostics (CT, MRI and blood tests mentioned), followed by surgery such as TPLO for cruciate disease and patella luxation repair. Owners frequently highlight: - Detailed, plain-language explanations of procedures and imaging findings (including being shown CT/MRI results in person). - Proactive updates during the day (calls after tests and after surgery are mentioned). - Next-day check-in emails after procedures. - Administrative help with insurance claims (described as being made “easy,” and in one case managed with a quick payout).

Swale Veterinary Practice Ltd describes itself as providing “quality, affordable pet care… from routine checkups to specialised treatments.” It is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services. Based on the latest reviews available to us, the practice is frequently used for urgent problems as well as routine care: one dog was treated out of hours for a badly bleeding cut, with a general anaesthetic and sutures, and another was given a same-day appointment (about an hour after calling) after eating something it shouldn’t. Reviews also mention longer-term support for chronic illness (diabetes in multiple dogs). Alongside this, there is a conflicting account alleging an x‑ray miss (fracture reportedly not identified) and issues with reception interactions and billing.
