Best Vets in Nottinghamshire

All Creatures Vet Centre Ltd appears to be an independently run practice (the website names Erica Coleman-Field, Mandy Coleman-Field and Chantel Brown as running it, and says it has provided care since 2014). Based on the website and reviews, it’s set up for both routine and more advanced work, with in-house diagnostics (blood tests, digital X‑rays and ultrasound) and services spanning dentistry through to “advanced surgeries.” Owners most often describe thorough clinical work and clear decision-making—for example, one review describes a same-evening appointment for an acutely unwell dog with a full examination, diagnosis discussion, and a treatment plan including an injection plus oral medication that improved the dog by the next day. Several reviews also highlight end-of-life support, including a home euthanasia visit described as compassionate and reassuring.

Portland House Veterinary Group treats both companion animals and farm animals (small pets and large animals). The website references online booking, repeat prescriptions, pet registration, and a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations. Recent reviews repeatedly mention being able to stay with your pet during the consultation, and the practice using text reminders tied to their records (for example, to prompt when a yearly flea/tick injection is due). One reviewer also flags pricing as “a bit high,” while still saying their dogs are well cared for.

Clifton Vet4Pets Ltd is described on its website as a locally owned Vets4Pets practice with modern in-house facilities (including an in-house lab, pharmacy, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and separate cat and dog waiting areas/wards. It also states it provides out-of-hours emergency cover via Vets Now when the practice is closed and is a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. In recent reviews, owners give concrete examples of the clinic handling urgent and procedural cases: a dog made ill after eating malt loaf was taken straight through on arrival and seen again the next day for follow-up, and another dog had a grass seed embedded in the cheek that required an operation. Owners also mention staff talking them through diagnoses and next steps in plain language, and helping one client apply for a finance plan so surgery could go ahead promptly.

Minster Veterinary Centre is an independent practice (owned by David Sparks) that treats both pets and farm animals, and says it runs its own 24-hour emergency service staffed by its own vets. The website highlights structured preventive care (puppy/kitten packages, annual parasite packages) and cat-focused standards (ISFM Gold standard for the Newark surgery), while recent reviews repeatedly mention emergency presentations and surgical/dental work being handled in-house. Concrete examples from the latest reviews include a spay that owners say took time to schedule “safely” with ongoing updates and options, a dental/tooth extraction for a 16‑year‑old cat followed by check-ups/aftercare, and an emergency wound appointment on a bank holiday with notes sent on to the pet’s usual vet. Pricing experiences appear mixed: one reviewer calls a consult plus ear drops “just short of £80” and a “ripoff,” while another describes an emergency visit cost as “amazing.”

Thompsons Vets Ltd is an RCVS General Practice small-animal clinic established in 1972. The practice treats a range of pets beyond dogs and cats (including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and ferrets) and lists in-house diagnostics (lab work, X‑rays and ultrasound) plus dentistry and surgery. In the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly describe compassionate support in difficult situations (including end-of-life care) and practical help in urgent concerns—one owner says they phoned late on a Friday and were seen within the hour for a tick. A few specific touches mentioned include a condolence card after a pet’s passing and at least one instance where a vet did not charge after an anxious-owner emergency visit where the pet was found to be okay.

Orchard Veterinary Centre – Sherwood is a small-animal practice established in 1987 and part of CVS (email domain shown as `cvsvets.com`). The website positions the practice around routine preventive care and nurse-led support (vaccinations, parasite control, nurse clinics, six‑month health checks), plus common procedures such as neutering and microchipping, with home visits also listed. It’s accredited as an RCVS General Practice, holds the RCVS Client Service Award – Outstanding, and is a Cat Friendly Clinic (Gold). In the latest written reviews available to us, owners specifically mention smooth puppy vaccination appointments and a friendly, welcoming reception for young dogs.

Minster Veterinary Centre is an independent practice (owned by David Sparks) with a long history of providing veterinary care (the practice says it has operated since the First World War). The website describes a 24-hour emergency service staffed by their own vets. It also highlights structured preventive care (puppy/kitten packages and annual parasite prevention) and free nurse/clinic-style support for specific ongoing needs (weight/diet, parasite control, diabetes, and dental care). In recent reviews, owners most often point to condition-specific help (cat allergies), effective flea treatment, and support around end-of-life care where clients felt the focus wasn’t “all about the £ sign.”

Medivet West Bridgford is part of the Medivet group. The clinic offers routine care (vaccinations, parasite care, microchipping, neutering) alongside diagnostics and procedures supported by an in-house laboratory, ultrasound and X‑rays, plus services like dentistry and ECG. It’s also listed as an ISFM “Cat Friendly Vet Clinics” practice and a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews paint a mixed picture: several owners describe quick access for urgent problems (including being seen within hours for a dog with digestive issues and receiving an anti‑sickness injection), and good recovery after a cat procedure. However, a small number of recent 1‑star reviews describe serious concerns, including a kitten health check they felt lasted only minutes with minimal examination, and a separate complaint alleging missed diagnosis and ignored complaints—so experiences appear inconsistent.

Buttercross Veterinary Centre is a modern, purpose-built small-animal practice (established in the early 1960s) with in-house diagnostics (X-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab) and listed advanced interests including orthopaedic surgery, soft-tissue surgery, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery and cardiology. It’s also a veterinary nurse training facility and is accredited as an RCVS General Practice and a Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver). In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention vets taking time to explain findings and options clearly (including careful assessment of an elderly dog’s mobility and behaviour), and staff support around surgical procedures (pre-, during and post-op nursing support was specifically thanked). Several reviews also mention being fit in at short notice when pets were unwell.

Oak House Veterinary Centre Ltd has been caring for pets since 2004, and is accredited as an International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) silver-level Cat Friendly Clinic. No corporate group ownership is mentioned in the sources provided. Based on the information available, the practice appears set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations and health checks), ongoing management of chronic conditions, and compassionate end-of-life support. Recent reviews repeatedly describe: - Vaccination appointments running on time (including booster and annual vaccinations). - Gentle handling for nervous dogs, with practical desensitisation suggestions (quiet-time visits just to be weighed, get a treat, and build familiarity). - Clear, thorough explanations during first puppy visits and routine check-ups. - Cost transparency, with clients saying the team checks before proceeding and avoids unnecessary add-on charges.
