Best Vets in Uckfield – Complete Local Guide

Fairfield House Veterinary Surgery is an independent practice (established 1953) that treats companion animals, farm animals, and exotic animals. The clinic states it provides a 24-hour out-of-hours emergency service on its own premises with its own veterinary staff, and recent reviews also mention the emergency service being in-house. Owners describe being talked through multiple treatment options (including acupuncture), and several reviews highlight rapid access for urgent cases (being “fit in” when emergencies happen) plus proactive updates during inpatient care (phone calls as promised and a full handover at collection).

Henley House Veterinary Clinic appears to be independently run: one reviewer mentions seeing the practice owner and describes the practice as “privately… maintained.” Based on recent reviews, it’s used for both routine/acute problems (an injured cat, a cat bite that needed a mouth exam, a minor leg cut) and more serious care (major surgery with follow-up checks), as well as end-of-life support. Concrete details owners mention include: - Same-day appointment availability for an urgent issue (cat bite that was “still troubling” the cat). - A vet taking time to properly examine a cat’s mouth/bite site when a previous clinic hadn’t. - Detailed explanation of a major surgery, including risks, plus updates during the day and clear post-op instructions. - End-of-life care that included time and space to say goodbye and a sympathy card afterward. There is also a clear split in experiences: some reviews describe supportive communication and kindness, while others report long waits, feeling rushed, and concerns about unnecessary add-ons increasing the bill.

Madeleine Campbell Hobgoblins Stud Equine Reproduction Centre appears focused on equine breeding and reproduction work (including the use of broodmares as surrogates, as mentioned in a review). Recent reviewers mostly leave 5‑star ratings, with the clearest specifics being that staff are described as “helpful” and “knowledgeable,” and that suitability decisions may include assessing a broodmare’s age (one reviewer noted a 16‑year‑old mare was considered too old to act as a surrogate).

EB Equine appears to be an equine-focused veterinary service (no corporate group affiliation is stated). The clinic information available highlights additional training in internal medicine and several hands-on/rehab modalities: veterinary acupuncture, veterinary chiropractic, and equine rehabilitation, plus a diploma-level focus on equine nutrition. On Google it has a 4.3-star rating from 9 reviews; the only detailed written feedback available includes complaints about unexpected extra charges when ordering a product online, while multiple other ratings are positive but don’t include written details.
