## Summary 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.
