Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Priory Close Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice, caring for pets for over 35 years, and treating dogs, cats, and small furries. The clinic appears set up for both routine prevention and more involved cases: reviews mention pain-management acupuncture for severe arthritis, discussing surgical options for an older dog, and making an orthopaedic referral to a specialist with post-operative care handled back at the practice. The website also states that out-of-hours emergencies are covered by Quantock Veterinary Hospital (7pm–8am and on Bank Holidays).

  • Preventative care, including vaccinations
  • Routine consultations/services

People

  • Ian (vet): mentioned repeatedly in reviews over long-term pet relationships (e.g., “nearly 18 years”). Owners describe him as someone who talks through options (including surgery options for an older dog), arranges appropriate specialist referral for orthopaedics, and then continues post-operative care at the practice.
  • Other vets/nursing team (“the lady vet”, “the girls”): described as kind, thorough, and patient with dogs and cats, with one owner noting their pets “adore” them.

  • Clear, options-based decision making: one owner highlights being given options for an older dog’s surgery, plus an orthopaedic referral and ongoing post-op care.
  • Pain management beyond basics: one owner reports acupuncture helped an elderly dog with severe arthritis, with “notable difference” seen.
  • Handling urgent situations: reviewers mention the team being accommodating in an emergency.
  • Cost perceptions vary by owner: one reviewer explicitly says the practice is “not overpriced,” but no specific prices are shared.
