Cliffe Veterinary Group Ltd Equine Clinic is a solely equine practice and an RCVS Accredited Equine Hospital, offering both ambulatory and hospital-based care. The clinic is set up for routine through emergency cases, with emergency care stated as available any time of day or night, and facilities that include surgical, imaging, and diagnostics capability, plus stabling for 20 inpatients and indoor/outdoor arenas for ridden and in-hand assessments. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe: - Hospital-based treatment and surgery, including a colic case where surgery was performed and the horse recovered. - Practical handling for stressed or claustrophobic horses, such as moving a horse to a more suitable barn placement so it could see a companion, and helping with loading to go home. - A generally helpful front-desk experience (receptionists described as polite and helpful), though there are also a couple of recent 1-star ratings without written details, so the reason for dissatisfaction isn’t clear from the text available.

RSPCA Mallydams Wood is an RSPCA-run wildlife rehabilitation and education centre (not a general pet veterinary practice). It focuses on taking in injured or vulnerable wildlife—specifically wild mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians—with the aim (as described by reviewers) of treatment and eventual release back into the wild. In recent reviews, people describe staff collecting an injured young pigeon within an hour after a call, accepting an injured baby pheasant brought in by an owner, and providing an update days later that the bird was recovering. Reviews also mention volunteer opportunities for suitable applicants.

T W Couzens is described in multiple reviews as a holistic veterinary practice, with an emphasis on diet changes, “natural products,” and alternative therapies alongside clinical care. Reviewers repeatedly mention cases that hadn’t improved elsewhere—such as chronic gastrointestinal issues and skin/allergy problems—then improving after plans set by Tim or Kay. Several owners also note a consultation style that includes taking time to explain what’s happening, plus follow-up support like reading materials and email guidance. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Diet-led treatment plans for skin/allergy cases (including open, irritated wounds) with ongoing monitoring. - Management of chronic colitis with weight gain and return to normal activity after treatment. - Explanation-heavy appointments, plus “reading material and email support.” - Alternative/holistic therapies recommended and reported as effective by repeat clients.

Well House Vets offers around-the-clock care (as stated on its website) and describes itself as a training practice, meaning student nurses may be involved in your pet’s treatment unless you ask to be seen by a qualified nurse when booking. The website also promotes a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe: - Supportive handling of difficult appointments (including euthanasia, with time given for a final goodbye and payment not requested until the owner was ready). - Routine care for pets including elderly cats, puppies, and multiple cats. - A clear split in experiences: many describe staff as kind and efficient, while one reviewer reports a stressful visit that left their dog bleeding and criticised the vet’s manner.

New Priory Vets Brighton Limited is set up for urgent and emergency cases (listed as providing emergency veterinary services, including 24/7/extended-hours cover) and also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe both high-pressure emergency support (for example, being seen “within 10 minutes” after a road-traffic accident) and longer inpatient care (including an 11‑day hospital stay for haemorrhagic gastroenteritis with complications). End-of-life care is a recurring use case too, with one owner describing a dedicated “quiet garden room” for euthanasia and being given time to say goodbye. Feedback is mixed: alongside detailed praise for communication and compassion in emergencies and euthanasia appointments, some owners report serious concerns—such as a dental procedure followed by bleeding and subsequent sepsis (as alleged by the reviewer), and complaints about slow or unresponsive insurance-claim processing and facilities described as “old and grubby and dated.”

New Priory Vets Peacehaven is part of the New Priory Vets group (a practice that says it has cared for pets for over forty years) and is linked to an RCVS-accredited hospital providing out-of-hours emergency cover via Priory Emergency Treatment Services (P.E.T.S.). Evidence from the website suggests a setup for both routine general practice and more advanced work (for example diagnostic imaging, dentistry, and laparoscopy). In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention staff taking time with anxious or vulnerable pets (including an “very old blind bulldog” and a frightened dog on a first visit), and one owner describes being kept updated with regular calls and texts during a pet’s treatment.

Eastbourne Vets is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews show a split experience: some owners describe friendly staff and knowledgeable vets who helped their dog, while others report problems around cost communication and billing expectations (including a stated reception notice that payment must be made at the time of treatment) and administrative issues such as delays and mix-ups when ordering flea/worm treatments on a plan. One reviewer also alleges the practice is part of a chain owned by an investment company; this is not confirmed by other provided sources.

Pet Doctors Lewes is part of the Pet Doctors Veterinary Group (established in 1998) and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the information available, it appears set up for everyday small-animal care (check-ups and boosters) alongside surgery, including less-routine cases such as a “tricky” spay on an older guinea pig. Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include: - Home visits for end-of-life care (one review describes a home euthanasia where the dog stayed calm and the process was explained step-by-step). - A membership “pet club” owners say covers routine items like check-ups, annual boosters, kennel cough, parasite treatments, and some nurse-performed procedures. - Reminders for boosters/check-ups being sent to owners. - Emergency veterinary services are listed in the clinic data (described as 24/7 or extended hours, without further detail provided).
