Best Vets in Peacehaven – Complete Local Guide

Vets2Home – Peaceful Pet Goodbyes focuses on at-home end-of-life visits for pets, with owners repeatedly describing a calm, unhurried process and detailed communication from first contact through aftercare. Reviews give concrete examples of how visits are handled: vets explain each step, check consent before proceeding after sedation, and adapt the environment to keep other pets and family members as settled as possible. Several owners also mention coordinated cremation/aftercare and clear updates about when ashes are ready. Specific details mentioned by owners include: - Home visits arranged quickly when pets deteriorated suddenly (including same-day “a few hours later” in one account). - A step-by-step process where a sedative injection is given first, then the vet asks whether the family wishes to proceed. - Practical touches during aftercare and transport (a large bed with pillow/blanket for a large dog; a candle left with the family in one case). - Ongoing coordination after the visit, including updates by text/email and arrangements for ashes (including hand-delivery to the pet’s usual vet, or switching plans to collect directly from a crematorium).

Coastway Veterinary Group is a veterinary group practice with modern, recently extended facilities offering consultations, day surgery, and dental care for dogs and cats. The clinic is set up with separate dog and cat areas to reduce stress, and is led (per the clinic’s own information) by vet Claire Fielder. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations during appointments, gentle handling of nervous cats and dogs, and practical add-on care during routine visits (for example claw clipping and shaving out fur mats during a vaccination/health check). One reviewer describes the practice as “expensive,” while another mentions a pet plan that helps with costs.

Meridian Veterinary Practice Ltd has been providing veterinary services since the 1980s and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe a practice that handles both routine care and urgent same-day needs: owners mention being fitted in quickly for emergencies, coordinated treatment plans for a seriously unwell cat, and support with end-of-life care. Practical policies also come up in reviews, including a monthly pet plan (with recent changes noted by a reviewer) and direct payment arrangements with insurance companies.

The Mewes Vets is an independent veterinary clinic, established in 1996 by Julia Mewes. Based on the website and recent reviews, it’s set up for routine care (check-ups, vaccines, flea treatment) as well as treatments and surgery, with additional support such as nurse clinics. Reviewers repeatedly describe time taken to explore options and involve the owner, accommodation for anxious/fear-aggressive dogs, and compassionate end-of-life care—including a report of a home visit for euthanasia and a condolence card sent afterwards. The website states that urgent out-of-hours care is handled via an emergency referral service (PETS).

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.
