Not all feedback is positive, with a recent 2★ review alongside multiple 5★ reviews (no written detail was available for that lower rating).

Avon Lodge Veterinary Group is a general veterinary practice (independent vs corporate ownership isn’t stated in the information provided). Recent reviews describe prompt triage and quick access to care—for example, one owner says their dog “Molly was taken care of straight away” after they called with concerns. Several owners also highlight a “best for your dog” approach, including one review describing the team not trying to sell “expensive extras” and instead pursuing treatment that helped a senior dog recover when euthanasia seemed likely. The clinic environment is described as “clean and tidy,” and staff are repeatedly mentioned as being welcoming and confident handling larger, nervous dogs (including a large mastiff).

The Pet Practice is a fully independent, family-owned veterinary practice founded in 2009 by vet Ben Johnson. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations and parasite control) with the ability to fit in urgent problems during opening hours when needed. Recent reviewers mention getting a same-day appointment after calling in the morning, and one non-registered owner says their dog was seen as an emergency during opening hours.

A Pet Health Plan is mentioned on the website, and recent reviews point to routine care such as thorough health checks, advice, and prescribed medications. Review feedback is mixed: several owners describe consistently helpful staff and long-term satisfaction, while one recent reviewer reports spending £2,000 with “no results,” losing their pet, and feeling the team showed “no empathy.”

Drove Vets – Stratton Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary surgery with a 4.8★ Google rating from 207 reviews. In the latest written reviews available to us, owners most often focus on the front-desk experience (being welcomed, helped, and put at ease), the clinic environment being described as “very clean,” and continuity of care—one vet, Jenny, is specifically named for listening closely and reassuring owners during appointments. Another repeated detail is staff remembering both the owner and their dog across visits.

The Garden Veterinary Group is a veterinary clinic with a team of vets and veterinary nurses, set up for day-to-day small animal care with on-site diagnostics and surgery (including an in-house laboratory and operating theatre).

In the latest reviews, several owners describe staff taking time to explain options clearly and handling pets gently, and one mentions the premises being “very clean.” There is also a recent negative review alleging a serious misdiagnosis after extensive testing and being advised euthanasia; this conflicts with multiple recent reviews describing reassuring communication and good ongoing care.

Avon Lodge Veterinary Group appears to operate across more than one branch (one reviewer mentions dealing with “either branch”). Recent reviewers most often talk about day-to-day access and interactions rather than specific treatments: booking appointments and getting repeat medications are described as straightforward, and multiple reviews highlight a listening approach from the vets. Across the latest comments, the practice team (vets, nurses and reception staff) is repeatedly described as friendly and helpful.

The Peacocks Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent veterinary practice. Based on its website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine care and dentistry, with practical extras like online booking, repeat prescriptions, and pet healthcare plans.

Several reviews name vets (including Iris and Claire) and highlight clear, actionable advice for ongoing day-to-day pet care.

Stonehenge Vets is described in recent reviews as a practice that will sometimes fit pets in at short notice and handles animals gently (one owner mentions their dog being treated “with such love and gentleness”). Several reviewers also highlight clear explanations: one specifically says the vet made sure they understood the problem, the issues involved, and the treatment plan. A minority experience conflicts with this positive picture—one reviewer reports a delayed appointment time and feeling rushed through vaccinations.

Drove Veterinary Hospital appears to operate as part of a wider “Drove vet group/clinics” (as described by a reviewer), with both routine care and more involved cases discussed in recent reviews. Owners mention structured preventive-care schemes (“kitten club” progressing to a “cat club”), cat-friendly facilities at the main hospital (a separate cat area for carriers and blankets), and inpatient care where owners were allowed to visit in the evenings and receive updates.

Recent reviews also show mixed experiences: examples of strong communication (phoning for consent after finding a hernia during a neuter and explaining potential complications) sit alongside reports of issues being missed (one owner says blindness in a cat wasn’t identified until too late) and dissatisfaction with parts of the out-of-hours experience.

Drove Vets – Ridgeway Farm is a veterinary practice (ownership/corporate group not stated in the available information) that owners describe as strong on calm handling and clear decision-making support. Recent reviews repeatedly mention vets taking time to explain options so owners can make informed choices, and being pragmatic about treatment plans rather than overcomplicating care. Practical details also come up, including easy prescription ordering and follow-up care after visits.

Medivet Salisbury (The Vets Salisbury) is part of the Medivet group. The clinic advertises 15‑minute consultations and has on-site kit including an in-house laboratory, X‑ray machines, and dental facilities. It also lists care for a wide range of pets beyond cats and dogs (including rabbits, reptiles and other exotics/small mammals).

One reviewer flags a “poor notification system,” suggesting communications may be inconsistent.

Eastcott Vet Clinic offers a mix of routine veterinary care and support clinics, including vaccinations and parasite prevention, microchipping, senior-pet care, and veterinary nurse clinics for things like post-op checks and nutrition advice. The clinic also promotes “free” extras such as a Puppy Club (covering training, nutrition and behaviour guidance) and weight clinics, plus dental support (with free dental checks mentioned, but an initial dental check-up described as chargeable and with referral to a specialist referral team).

Recent reviews skew positive for friendliness and reassurance, but there is also a sharply negative account alleging a cat was sent home with an infection without antibiotics and that medical notes didn’t match what was said in the consultation—so experiences reported by owners are mixed.

Elston Veterinary Clinic Ltd describes itself as an independent veterinary practice and offers a 24-hour emergency service, with out-of-hours calls transferred to Vets Now for triage and care.

Recent reviews include a detailed account of end-of-life support (including keepsakes such as a paw print and hair clippings) and another describing a weekend injury follow-up where the vet discussed options and ultimately avoided surgery when the problem had largely resolved.

Freedom Vet Rehab Clinic is a vet-led rehabilitation clinic set up in 2017 by Tamsin O’Brien (BVSc MRCVS). The website positions it around canine physiotherapy and hydrotherapy with “integrated rehab” plans, and also lists pain management and sports medicine support.

Reviews describe care across a range of pets (including a 19‑year‑old cat, dogs/puppies, and hamsters) and mention clear guidance and advice during appointments. One recent review raises a service concern about nearly an hour’s wait and feeling the reception response was defensive when asking about queue position.

Hampton Park Vets is part of Petcare Veterinary Practices (a corporate group) and promotes a Pet Health Club® Plus plan where consultations are included. Based on the details shared in recent reviews, the practice appears geared toward everyday first-opinion work (routine check-ups and vaccinations) plus common procedures like dental cleaning and tooth extraction and treatment of minor injuries (e.g., a broken dewclaw).

Owner experiences are mixed: some describe dogs that “love going” and staff who answer questions, while others report a perceived decline over time with concerns about rushed appointments, inconsistent clinical approach (e.g., bandaging decisions), and professionalism/hygiene.

Concrete examples mentioned include

• •A dog treated for a broken dewclaw, with the owner disputing the heavy full-leg bandage approach and questioning what £132 covered.
• •A puppy asked to return because staff were unsure a vaccine dose went in (liquid reportedly left on the table), requiring the injection to be repeated.
• •A senior dog visit involving a £41 cream (with the owner saying no instructions were given) and a suggested heart scan quoted at £400+.
• •A lump assessed as a hernia with a £450+ removal quote, which the reviewer says was later contradicted by another vet elsewhere.

Eastcott Vet Clinic is part of Eastcott Veterinary Practice (group ownership beyond that isn’t stated). Based on its own service list, this branch appears set up primarily for routine and preventive care—including wellness exams, parasite prevention, dental monitoring, and nurse-led support—rather than specialist or emergency work (no emergency/out-of-hours arrangement is stated). Decision-relevant specifics include free weight clinics, a free puppy club delivered one-to-one with a veterinary nurse (covering health, training, nutrition, and insurance), and a dental pathway that includes free pet dental checks when referral to the specialist referral team is needed (with an initial dental check-up being chargeable).
