Senlac Veterinary Centre – Vets in Battle
Clinic Overview
Senlac Veterinary Centre is a general veterinary practice that also operates a satellite branch and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website describes a broad mix of routine care (vaccinations, neutering, parasite control) plus additional options like physiotherapy, laser therapy, diabetic clinics, dog grooming, and end-of-life care.
From the latest reviews, owners most often describe practical handling of anxious or nervous dogs: vets taking time, being gentle, and adapting how they give treatments (one owner said their dog “didn’t even notice” vaccinations because the vet had read the notes and came prepared). Several reviews also mention continuity—seeing familiar vets over time and feeling that the team knows the pet’s history. There is, however, a specific concern raised about “recent changes” meaning out-of-hours emergency care is no longer available, which conflicts with other information that lists emergency veterinary services.

We have a very nervous rescue dog and all the vets have been very gentle and understanding with her. I find the care is very personal and all the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We are very pleased we moved to this surgery after some bad experiences with chain practices.

Tim, our vet was absolutely amazing! Our dog is extremely anxious at the vet’s, and our last experience traumatised us all. Tim had obviously read our dog’s records and was fully prepared to administer his vaccines, and did it in such a way that our dog didn’t even notice! Thank you Tim and the Senlac team for such personalised and compassionate care 💕

We have used Senlac for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Tim, Geoff, Laura and all the vets we have seen have been second to none. It's especially important to know that because the vets are not changing regularly we feel happy and confident with the excellent care as the vets have an insight to the history of our dog. The support staff are very helpful, kind and caring nothing is too much trouble. The only criticism we have that recent changes of no out of hours emergency care have been cancelled so we find this a concern. Kindest regards to all.

I have used Senlac vets for about 8 years now for my dogs and cat. They have always been very supportive, caring and down to earth. Not gimmicky, just very good vets, nurses and receptionists. Highly recommend.
