Companion Veterinary Clinic Ltd

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.
