Cadence Equine Vets Ltd is an independent equine ambulatory practice run by Dr Charlie Tomlinson MRCVS, focused on horses and ponies. The practice highlights work around lameness, poor performance, and veterinary chiropractic, and states that emergency care is available during and outside opening hours. From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention clear explanations, practical phone advice, and a sense that treatment plans are kept to what’s needed (with one reviewer explicitly saying Charlie “only recommends what is needed” and they don’t see extra charges added). Several reviews also point to fast, convenient communication, including getting replies via WhatsApp within about half an hour.

Chalkland Vets Ltd is an independent practice for companion animals (dogs, cats and rabbits), with services that include bookable appointments, pet registration, home visits, and a healthcare club membership (as described on its website). In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention efficient routine care (vaccinations and check-ups) and clear, options-led decision-making—including one detailed account of same-day help without an appointment for an elderly dog in severe pain, followed by a calm, respectful euthanasia process (sedation first, lights dimmed, time given to say goodbye, and a request for quiet in the waiting area).

My Vet Salisbury is a small-animal clinic where recent reviews repeatedly single out individual vets by name—especially Adam (described as “experienced,” “honest,” and “dedicated”) and Daniel (mentioned positively by name). Owners also highlight practical access, noting the practice is open seven days a week. One reviewer specifically says the clinic’s pricing made treatment for a senior cat possible when they otherwise feared euthanasia might be the only option.

Lawn Veterinary Centre is a veterinary clinic offering booked appointments with 15‑minute consultations, plus online registration and appointment booking. It covers routine pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs, and uses a partner service for out‑of‑hours emergencies (Drove Vets). In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe long-term use (e.g., 15+ years and 24 years) and mention staff being efficient, good with pets, and honest about what’s best for the animal even when it’s not what the owner wants to hear.

Chalkland Vets (listed here as Community Pet Clinic) is an independent companion-animal practice for dogs, cats and rabbits, with online appointment booking, pet registration, a home-visit service, and a Healthcare Club membership option on its website. Recent reviews repeatedly mention efficient routine care (including vaccinations and health checks) and supportive handling of difficult appointments: one owner describes being seen straight away without an appointment for an elderly dog and being given clear choices about further tests versus euthanasia. Another review highlights vets sharing information and discussing options so owners can make informed decisions.

Purton Veterinary Group (Purton Vets) is a veterinary practice with a 4.8★ Google rating from 144 reviews. Recent reviews describe a team that recognises pets by name and creates a familiar, “family” feel for repeat visitors. One owner also mentions receiving a condolence card after their puppy died, suggesting the practice does follow-up gestures around bereavement. Not all feedback is positive, with a recent 2★ review alongside multiple 5★ reviews (no written detail was available for that lower rating).

Harris, Hill & Gibbons Veterinary Group is a small-animal practice established in 1972 and is part of the CVS corporate group (noted explicitly in a recent review). The practice is set up for routine care (vaccinations, nurse clinics, parasite control) as well as diagnostics and surgery (in-house lab, X‑ray, ultrasound; dentistry and multiple surgical disciplines listed). Review signals are mixed: several owners describe supportive handling of end-of-life care (including arranging cremation and giving time to grieve), while a small number raise serious complaints about records/communication and high costs (one reviewer cites spending “over £4000” and not receiving call-backs about insulin/needles).

Hale Veterinary Hospital operates under Hale Veterinary Group Ltd and describes itself as a hospital with “state-of-the-art” facilities (per its website). 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.”

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). The website lists routine services like vaccinations, health checks and nail clips, plus imaging (X-rays and ultrasound), dental care and surgical procedures, and a Pet Health Plan.

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.

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.

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.

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).

From the latest reviews available, owners highlight practical handling and appointment experience—one owner brought seven Labrador puppies for vaccination, microchipping and health checks and said the team kept things calm and “no stress”; another review mentions patience with a nervous cat and an appointment starting early. 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.

Companion Care (Salisbury) Ltd operates under the Vets for Pets brand and is based inside a Pets at Home store. The clinic lists in-house diagnostics (digital X‑ray, ultrasound, lab) and a surgical operating theatre with gaseous anaesthetic, suggesting it’s set up for both routine care and procedures. 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.

Archway Veterinary Surgery has been operating since 1982 and describes itself as a long-standing, community-focused clinic. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention long-term continuity (one family using the practice for 20+ years), practical appointment support (an early slot arranged for a reactive rescue dog), and vets who explain options clearly (described as “informative” and “cooperative”).

The clinic is RCVS accredited as a Small Animal Emergency Service Clinic (ESC) and is set up for higher-acuity cases with an in-house lab, hospital ward (including isolation), operating theatre, X‑ray and ultrasound.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention being seen quickly and finding the team easy to talk to, but there are also starkly negative accounts describing high fees, poor compassion during end-of-life discussions, and disputes about aftercare/complaint handling (including an insurance-claim administration fee).

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.

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). The latest available reviews include brief positive comments about the people and overall experience, alongside at least one 1-star review without written detail.

Another review notes the hospital can get busy and mentions a “fairly good size” stable setup.

Great Western Exotics is presented in reviews as a practice used for non-traditional pets, with recent examples involving parrots and rabbits. Owners describe the clinic keeping very ill birds in for several days over the holiday period and discharging them “doing well,” suggesting it handles inpatient monitoring/treatment for exotics. Feedback is mixed: multiple reviewers say they wouldn’t take their parrots anywhere else, while one detailed rabbit case alleges the rabbit was discharged still not eating, that feeding was assumed based on “food gone,” and that costs rose very quickly without outcomes matching the spend. One reviewer also states the practice is owned by IVC (this ownership detail is not confirmed by other provided inputs).

Companion Care (Swindon) Ltd trades under the Vets4Pets brand (a national chain). Based on its website information, the practice is set up for routine small‑animal care for dogs and cats, alongside grooming, rehoming support, and a “Complete Care Plan” preventative care plan.

Its Google profile shows a low overall score (2.0/5 from 4 reviews). The latest written reviews available to us are mostly severely critical, describing disputes about diagnosis/treatment decisions, vaccination scheduling, and how complaints/information requests were handled. One review is 5‑star but contains no written detail, so it’s hard to weigh against the specific criticisms.
