Priory Close Veterinary Practice – Vets in Taunton
Clinic Overview
Priory Close Veterinary Practice is an independent small-animal clinic (the website says it’s been caring for pets for over 35 years) and is set up for everyday primary-care vet work plus urgent same-day problems. Owners repeatedly mention being offered same-day appointments for unwell pets, and several reviews describe clear, practical treatment given quickly (for example, a dog treated within ~20 minutes of eating a raisin with an injection to induce vomiting, and a cat given three injections and improving within 12 hours). The practice is also RCVS-approved for training small animal nurses (per the website).

Excellent customer service in an emergency situation.First class veteninary care and receptions. Whilst on holiday over the christmas period one of our dogs became poorly and this surgery was the nearest to us. Would highly recommend this vets and wouldn't hesitate in using them again. Gave our dog excellent treatment and us peace of mind. Thank you for your kindness.

Seems as though I didn’t press end on this historic review. So now this is two reviews in one 😬. First review 👇 Yet again this wonderful practice has been amazing. Compassionate, caring and so reassuring. I had occasion to rush Yoko down on Saturday lunchtime…I’d accidentally dropped a raisin to the floor in the kitchen and luckily caught the sound of her chewing it. Realising what it was I phoned Priory Close and asked for advice which resulted in my taking Yoko straight down. So within 20 minutes of her eating the raisin she was being injected with an emetic and spent a good 30 or so minutes vomiting up the contents of her stomach which revealed the offending raisin, thankfully. After an antidote to the emetic we were able to go home with after care advice and I’m glad to report that Yoko is absolutely fine today. I can’t speak highly enough about Ian and his team. An added bonus to the wonderful care we always receive is that they don’t rip you off financially. I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Thanks to you all 🙏 And so to December 2025. Routine visit for annual vax and health check. No hanging around, we were seen pretty much as soon as we arrived. The surgery and waiting area are always clean and cosy. Ian and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable . Today I needed to discuss Yoko’s weight as she’s quietly gaining in mid life. Had a good chat with the vet and came away with clear understanding of how to address the matter without leaving Yoko hungry. Vax done, health check done …and as ever we came home with a toy. My monthly pet insurance with the surgery covers all routine vax, two health checks per years and gives 10% off all treatments and purchases. Good value. Especially as they remind me to when to administer Yokos flea and worming treatments which arrive in the post. I really am very happy with Priory Close surgery and can’t imagine taking an animal I love anywhere else. And a final word …this is an independent practice …their charges are very reasonable indeed, always.

I had an unwell cat and was offered an appointment the same day (even a choice of times). My cat was given three injections and she improved dramatically within 12 hours. Very efficient and supportive and a very reasonable charge. It is great to see an independent vet offering fantastic service and reasonable pricing.

One of my cats would not be here if I hadn’t moved them to Priory Close. They put the welfare of the animal above everything else. They have never advised treatment that wasn’t needed and their prices are more than fair. Added to this they are friendly and approachable. If I could give 10 stars then I would. They are wonderful!

Absolutely the best vets in Taunton. The staff are lovely, very welcoming and professional. Both vets I’ve seen have listened and offered great advice on treatment plans. They are passionate and clearly love the field they work in. I would highly recommend priory, if you want a classic vet experience not one of those corporate owned cash cows.

Ian and the staff are so kind and caring and very good with my little rascal Bob. They were especially empathetic when I had to say goodbye to my beautiful baby girl Charley in February. I've moved out of the area now but always travel 2 junctions as the staff are so lovely.
