Clinic Overview

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.

Services

Services explicitly referenced in the available information include

  • Cat-focused care (the clinic is a Cat Friendly Clinic; multiple recent reviews describe cat consultations and ongoing management of complex conditions).
  • Surgery: dog spay is specifically mentioned, along with post-operative aftercare and check-ins.
  • Assessment of acute illness (a review describes bringing a very poorly cat in on a Sunday for a check-over and advice).
  • Veterinary nurse training facility (stated in the structured clinic data).
