Clinic Overview

The Neighbourhood Vet is an RCVS-registered practice and a Cat Friendly Clinic, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe a clinic that handles routine care plus common urgent problems (for example, removing a grass seed from a dog’s ear) and surgery such as rabbit spaying, with several owners highlighting clear explanations and being talked through options. Multiple reviews also mention proactive follow-up calls after procedures/check-ups, and at least one owner notes the team being transparent about likely costs and what could affect the final bill—while another describes it as “very expensive,” suggesting pricing may feel high for some.
