Coopers Vets is a small-animal practice established in 1963, with in-house diagnostics (lab work, ultrasound and X‑ray) plus dental facilities and surgery theatres. It’s set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping) as well as more complex work that owners mention in reviews, including emergency appointments and ongoing problem-solving for chronic conditions (one owner describes a 6‑month, hard-to-treat ear infection where the team “found alternate treatments and persevered” until it cleared). Out-of-hours emergencies are directed to Vets Now Eastbourne, as stated on the practice website. Reviews most often highlight clear explanations and being given options (including around end-of-life care), plus handling of anxious pets (one reviewer says a vet was the only one able to get their “terrified little dog up onto the table”). There is also a serious negative review alleging missed major defects during an emergency C‑section and administrative errors when the puppies were discharged.

Mojo Vets describes itself as an independent practice with two permanent vet owners and an emphasis on seeing familiar faces. The clinic highlights in-house kit for dental work (including dental radiography) plus abdomen and heart scans. In recent reviews, owners most often talk about dentistry and surgery (including a broken canine tooth/jaw involvement, dental extractions, and a bladder stone operation), with multiple examples of vets discussing lower-cost options rather than defaulting to the most expensive route. A notable exception is one recent 1‑star review describing a distressing experience during a booked emergency visit where the owner felt they were asked to leave while their dog was actively unwell; this conflicts with many other reviews describing urgent help being provided quickly.

GoPet Services describes itself as an independent veterinary practice, offering care in-clinic and via vet home visits. Based on its website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine care and procedures (including dental work and minor surgery) as well as end-of-life support, with multiple owners specifically choosing the practice for home euthanasia. Practical touches mentioned in reviews include a clearly displayed price list, follow-up calls after dental surgery, and staff taking extra time with nervous/anxious pets (e.g., sitting on the floor with treats before examinations). Recent feedback is mostly positive, but there are also a small number of serious complaints about post-surgical outcome and how concerns were handled.

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.
