Services we offer

With our 15-minute consultations, you have enough time to ask our expert vets any - and every - question you might have regarding your pet’s health and lifestyle.

Emergencies don't keep office hours. Our hospital is open 24 hours, with vets and nurses on site and ready to see you, whatever the time.

Our 24 hour practices and external out-of-hours providers offer exceptional, around-the-clock intensive care to critically ill pets.

Your local Medivet practice will be able to issue an Animal Health Certificate for EU travel.

Some of our practices have been awarded cat-friendly clinic status by the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM).

Caring for all aspects of your pet’s oral health is easy with our excellent dental facilities.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, non-invasive test used to detect certain defects in your pet’s heart.

Using a tiny, flexible camera, we’re able to view internal body parts with little surgical intervention.

Quick and efficient testing at our state-of-the-art in-house laboratories is just one aspect of the exceptional care we offer.

At Medivet we understand it’s a big decision deciding whether to get your female pet neutered. We would always recommend a discussion with your vet to understand if it is the correct approach for your pet, and if so at what age it is appropriate to be performed.

Our nurses run weight, dental, post-op, puppy and senior clinics. They're often the easiest first port of call for the smaller questions in between full appointments.

Neutering is a medical procedure that prevents pets from being able to reproduce, and comes with a host of other health benefits.

Ultrasound lets us look inside the abdomen and the heart without surgery or sedation. It's often the natural next step after blood work when something isn't quite adding up.

We use x-ray machines to quickly diagnose issues that might affect your pet.

Lovely, friendly, well laid out waiting room (this matters...) Very easy to contact/ communicate with. And the vet I saw (Kyra) really put me at ease, very knowledgeable but also empathetic and understanding. I know my pup is in safe hands 😊

Amazing team here, they looked after our dog as if their own, they were extremely caring helpful supportive and ultimately saved our dogs life, we will forever be grateful for their care and we are so glad that we brought our dog here. It was an extremely distressful period but they really saved the day and they reassured us and kept us informed every step of the way. Our dog is better than ever and even when we came back for the check up you could tell they were so genuinely happy to see him full of life again and it’s clear they love what they do and genuinely care. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you again 🙏

On Sunday, September 27 /2026. I brought my cat to this clinic Medivet in a critical condition. The vet examined him and diagnosed a blocked urethra and a severely distended bladder. I came to the clinic seeking urgent help for my suffering cat. However, instead of immediately focusing on relieving the obstruction, managing his pain and stabilising his condition, a significant amount of time was spent discussing a treatment plan costing around £4,500. During this time, my cat remained in a critical condition. I was told several times that he was becoming weaker and that his heart rate was slowing. Despite this, to my knowledge, he was not given pain relief or treatment to relieve the obstruction before I was expected to make a decision about the expensive treatment plan. When I explained that I could not agree to the £4,500 cost, euthanasia was also discussed. I never refused treatment for my cat. I wanted him to receive the necessary emergency care first and for me to be clearly informed about what needed to be done immediately and what could be done later. My cat ultimately died at the clinic. This has been an incredibly painful experience for me. I came there believing that he would receive urgent veterinary care, but instead I felt enormous pressure about the cost of treatment while my cat was critically ill. I am still seeking a clear explanation as to why appropriate emergency care was not provided sooner and whether the start of treatment was dependent on my accepting the £4,500 estimate. I am not claiming that earlier treatment would definitely have saved my cat. I simply want to understand why the care he urgently needed at that time was not provided sooner.😢😭😭😭💔🖤

Amazing service. Had to book for an emergency, everything was super efficient and gentle with our doggo. Staff were kind and explained everything in detail, giving examples and instructions if needed. Siper happy with the experience and how quickly everything went from booking to appointment to treatment to prescription.
