Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews

Highcroft Veterinary Group is an RCVS-accredited practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility and lists emergency veterinary services. From the latest reviews, it appears set up for routine care and follow-up around procedures: owners mention nurse-led health checks, support before and after an operation, and treatment for an ear problem. Reception support around setting up a pet health plan is mentioned repeatedly (including a “goodie bag” when joining), and several reviewers describe being talked through appointments “step by step.” One recent review strongly disputes pricing transparency around the pet health plan, describing unexpected per-pet consultation charges.

Downland Veterinary Group has been operating since 1946 and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the website, the practice offers a “Welcome Pack” and promotes the option to join Pet Health Club®. Recent reviews describe a practice that spends time explaining options and offering reassurance—examples include detailed discussions around a cat’s ongoing skin allergies, and a telephone consultation with Nurse Nicola where the owner says they received advice and reassurance at no cost. Reviews also mention first-visit support for a 10‑week‑old puppy, and staff remembering individual pets (“they all know the animals”). There is also a recent 1‑star review (no written details available), which contrasts with the predominantly positive feedback.

Horsebridge Veterinary Practice is a general veterinary clinic that is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the latest reviews, it appears set up for both routine and more involved medical cases, including ongoing pain/arthritis medication planning and same-day admission for infections/abscesses. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - In-patient/day admission care for a kitten with a deep facial abscess, including nursing support “throughout the day” and a vet working on the case twice. - Collaborative care planning for longer-running problems (one owner describes repeated check-ups for a dog’s sore neck, with treatment adjusted as the dog improved). - The practice promotes a pet app for communication (mentioned in a review about requesting a prescription through it). - End-of-life support is referenced, with one owner saying the team arranged their dog’s final day. Reviews are mostly positive, but there is a clear complaint about repeat visits costing “a few hundred pounds” and a prescription not being provided despite multiple requests.
