Dog & Cat Vets in Hove

Wilbury Veterinary Services Limited in Hove is part of Linnaeus and presents itself as a more tailored, boutique-style practice. Owners regularly mention turning to the clinic for urgent appointments, surgery and aftercare, complex or unclear conditions, support for anxious rescue dogs, and compassionate end-of-life care. Reviewers also describe practical touches such as separate waiting areas for cats and dogs and regular post-operative updates with photos.

- Positive reviewers often mention a friendly, knowledgeable and caring team, with praise for both reception staff and the clinical side of the practice. - There is specific praise for neutering aftercare, with one owner describing it as very good. - Several complaints focus on pet travel or export certificates, including cancelled appointments, disputed interpretation of travel requirements and stressful communication.

- Clinical care is often praised: several owners describe excellent care for older pets and reassuring treatment for urgent issues (including a vomiting puppy), with clear explanations from staff. - Communication and bedside manner are mixed: some reviewers report warm, supportive interactions, while others describe judgmental or distressing comments during difficult conversations. - Pricing transparency is a repeat concern in negatives: a few reviews allege unclear or changing costs (including VAT presentation and a disputed increase for a travel document appointment), while others say they were kept fully informed of costs.
