Pet Vet is a small-animal veterinary clinic with two sites, offering routine care as well as emergency care; out-of-hours emergencies are handled by VetsNow (as stated on its website). Reviews describe a mix of experiences: some owners mention fast, efficient appointments, while multiple recent reviews raise concerns about communication, perceived pressure for repeat tests/treatments, and how costs are handled (including payment being requested before a euthanasia appointment).

Concrete examples mentioned by owners include: same-day scheduling for euthanasia with an option to use a side entrance instead of the waiting room; a kitten neutering/microchip visit where the owner says the procedure was delayed for hours after drop-off; requests for repeated blood/urine tests and a sedated X‑ray for a kitten with breathing concerns; and one report of a quoted £300 wound dressing change.

Reviews

Google rating: 3.7 stars from 162 reviews. “”

  • Speed/efficiency: one reviewer describes the service as “very quick and efficient.”
  • End-of-life handling: one owner appreciated being offered a same-day euthanasia appointment and use of a side entrance, but felt it was “heartless” to be asked for payment while their dog was being taken to be sedated.
  • Communication and bedside manner: several reviews describe staff as rude/dismissive or not giving a nervous rescue puppy time to settle, despite prior reassurance by phone.
  • Concerns about testing and perceived upselling: one reviewer describes repeated blood/urine testing, suggestion of a heart condition, a proposed sedated X‑ray, and being offered a prescription diet for a urinary infection they believe the pet didn’t have; they felt their input was ignored.
  • Cost disputes and trust: multiple reviews characterise the clinic as money-focused; examples include the £300 wound dressing claim and a complaint about refusal of a repeat prescription for flea/worming while being willing to sell multiple doses directly, with “contradictory answers” from different staff members.
