Beech House Veterinary Clinic is described by one reviewer as an independent practice (rather than a chain). The clinic’s website lists routine care (health checks, vaccinations and neutering), surgery, and animal health certificates, and it states it sees a range of small pets including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters. From recent reviews, owners most often highlight a welcoming front desk, a clean-feeling practice, and vets who explain problems in detail; one vet is repeatedly named (Pablo). There’s a clear split on cost: one recent reviewer calls the consultation fee “astronomical” and quotes specific prices, while others focus on long-term trust and support, including end-of-life care. Concrete specifics mentioned: - Help with “pet transport stuff” at short notice (review). - Treats/fussing used to help dogs settle, with at least one dog pulling to go in (reviews). - Detailed explanations of issues from vet Pablo (review). - Pricing concerns raised: £72 per consultation and a “pet club” quoted at £36/month per dog (review).

Downland Veterinary Group is a veterinary practice that’s also a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often mention cats and dogs, plus smaller pets (one review mentions rats) and describe a mix of routine and more serious care: operations that “have gone smoothly” and support during euthanasia, including keepsakes like paw/footprints and a small jar of fur. A recurring negative theme is a complaint about flea treatment being tied to a paid “flea check”, with one owner reporting a total of over £150 for two cats.

Brighton PDSA Pet Hospital is part of PDSA (a charity provider) and is set up to offer free and low‑cost veterinary care for eligible owners, alongside training (it’s listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility). Recent reviews describe both supportive end‑of‑life care (including paw prints and returning ashes) and routine consultations that felt “super easy,” but also include serious complaints about limited capacity and delayed investigation/treatment in urgent situations. Concrete examples mentioned include: staff using a side entrance to spare other clients from seeing a deceased cat brought in after an accident; ultrasound performed during a visit for a critically unwell cat; and owners being asked to return on a later day for blood tests due to lack of space.

RSPCA Brighton & The Heart of Sussex Branch is an RSPCA charity branch focused on animal rescue and rehoming. Reviews describe a structured adoption process (including multiple pre-adoption visits and question-and-answer time) and follow-up after adoption (one adopter reports a check-in call a couple of months later and being invited to get back in touch if needed). There are also mentions of practical support beyond adoptions, such as discounted neutering vouchers obtained via a donation, and advice given for settling nervous cats into a new home. Some reviewers praise the branch’s strict approach to matching pets with adopters, while another review expresses frustration with the restrictions for rehoming.

1066 Veterinary Centre offers routine pet healthcare (wellness screenings, vaccinations, nurse clinics and nutritional advice) and states it treats a range of species including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters.

Concrete complaints include long waits with no explanation, disagreements over treatment plans (including dental work), and concerns about outcomes after procedures (ear treatment and post-spay bleeding).

St Annes Veterinary Group is a long-established veterinary practice (the clinic states over 70 years in service). In the latest reviews available to us, owners describe routine ongoing care for cats/kittens and appointments for injuries (including a last‑minute slot for an injured dog). Several reviewers mention vets being thorough and gentle during examinations, and listening to owners’ concerns. There’s also a clear service inconsistency in one review: a caller describes a receptionist interaction that ended with the phone being put down.
