Clinic Overview

No corporate group affiliation is stated in the available information. The County Veterinary Clinic is described in reviews as a long-term, small-team practice handling a mix of routine and ongoing medical care (for example, diabetic cat management with insulin and regular blood tests) as well as end-of-life support. Owners also mention rapid access for unwell pets (one dog was seen “first thing Monday” and improved by Tuesday) and clear step-by-step communication during treatment. Practical notes from clients include a “slightly small waiting area” and that staff have met owners outside to collect pets when needed.

Services

  • General vet care for cats and dogs (multiple owners describe years of ongoing care for several pets).
  • Diagnosis and prompt treatment for acute illness (example: unwell dog seen quickly and treated with frequent updates on the process).
  • Long-term condition management (example: diabetic cat supported with special diet advice, insulin injections, and regular blood tests).
  • End-of-life care and euthanasia support (owners describe sensitive handling when pets were put to sleep).
  • Small-pet advice (one review describes diet-change advice for a hamster).
  • Pet boarding/cattery support for medical needs (one owner describes their diabetic cat staying in a cattery so insulin can be given at set times).
  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility (listed in clinic data).

People

  • Dan (role not stated): repeatedly named by owners as part of the core team looking after pets over many years.
  • Rachel (role not stated): repeatedly named alongside Dan; owners describe pets being greeted first and feeling well looked after.
  • Sam (role not stated): named as part of the team that “look after our pets as though they were their own.”
  • Wider team (nurses and reception): mentioned for clear communication during treatment and for support during end-of-life appointments.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.3 stars from 21 reviews. - Long-term relationships: several owners describe using the clinic for 10–15+ years with multiple pets.

  • Clear explanations and updates: one owner noted the team “communicated every single process” during a fast-moving illness.
