Best Vets in Southwark – Complete Local Guide

The Neighbourhood Vet is an RCVS-registered practice and is accredited as a Cat Friendly Clinic. It also states it is a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on recent owner accounts, the clinic is set up for both routine care and more involved cases: reviews mention supporting a rescue cat with complex health issues over years, a dog spay with aftercare check-ins, and a Sunday visit for a very unwell cat where the vet provided a careful assessment and reassurance. Several reviewers also describe follow-ups/check-ins after treatment and clear explanations from staff.

London Prime Vets is an independent veterinary clinic. Based on its website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and same-day urgent problems, with on-site diagnostics and surgery listed (including emergency surgery). Recent reviewers describe rapid response to urgent situations (a puppy seen late in the evening after potential xylitol exposure; another seen immediately on a Sunday for an eye injury) and active follow-up (a late-night check-in call after treatment; monitoring over the following week).

Concrete specifics supported by the inputs

• •Emergency presentation for a possible xylitol ingestion was treated within about an hour, with late-night follow-up from a team member named Dagmar.
• •Eye injury care for a puppy (scratched in the eye) was seen immediately on a Sunday and monitored over the next week.
• •The website lists advanced diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, echocardiography (heart scans), endoscopy, in-house lab testing, and dental X-rays.

Peckham Veterinary Surgery is a purpose-built, independent small-animal practice offering routine care through to advanced surgery. The website says it’s part of an independent group founded in 2006 by veterinary surgeons Alan van Heerden and Dane Walker, and that Peckham patients can access 24-hour emergency care via a neighbouring partner clinic (named on the site as Streatham Hill Veterinary Surgery).

Across recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention consultations that don’t feel rushed, clear explanations of options/next steps, and staff taking time to settle nervous or excitable pets (for example, an older “grumpy” Chihuahua who didn’t attempt to bite, and an excitable Staffie who took a treat from the vet). Surgical care is also specifically referenced, including neutering and post-op recovery where a pet was described as relaxed once home.

Cat-only veterinary clinic with a named founder (Dr Jeremy Campbell) and a stated role as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews repeatedly describe a set-up designed to reduce feline stress (quiet feel, private rooms offered quickly, “calming mist” used), plus proactive follow-up after visits (owners mention staff checking in several times after a vaccination reaction). Recent feedback is mixed on administration: alongside praise for the vets’ care, some owners describe problems with healthcare-plan flea treatment deliveries and having to chase for updates, and one review alleges records were withheld over an unpaid balance from a previous owner.

Medivet Dulwich is part of the Medivet group, with access to around-the-clock emergency care via Medivet’s network of 24-hour centres. Reviews describe routine check-ups and care for nervous and rescue animals, with multiple owners highlighting that vets take time to listen and explain rather than rushing appointments. Concrete examples in the latest reviews include support with a very nervous dog (calm handling and humour to reduce stress), advice given when an owner rang “in a panic”, and appointments running on time for a six‑monthly check-up.
