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.

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.”

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).

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.”

Our Score (73/100)
Companion Veterinary Clinic Ltd offers a broad small-pet service (cats, dogs and small mammals including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters) with 24-hour emergency cover and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic’s website highlights routine and preventative care (vaccinations, parasite control, weight clinics, wellness screening) alongside procedures such as neutering and other surgery, plus pet travel passports and orthopaedic screening (hip and elbow scoring). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention clear explanations during everything from jabs to surgery, and one describes receiving a printed cost estimate on the day of an operation; another highlights staff helping despite a booking error. There is also a clear split in feedback on value: one long-term client alleges a shift toward profit and cites a high quote for euthanasia/cremation after “Paul left,” while others describe decades-long loyalty.
