Best Vets in Gloucestershire

Orchard View Vets Ltd is an independent practice founded by Maddie and Kate. The website describes a “fear‑free environment” and continuity (aiming for clients to see the same vet each time), and reviews repeatedly mention fast access to care (including same‑day online appointments and urgent cases being seen immediately). Owners also describe clear, in‑depth explanations of problems and options, plus up‑front discussion of costs (with “no hidden costs” mentioned). Several reviews reference procedures including next‑day surgery and dental work under anaesthetic with efforts to reduce stress.

Woodlands Veterinary Clinic Ltd treats a range of pets (cats, dogs, small furries, and birds/exotics) and, based on its website, offers specific clinics like Puppy Parties, senior pet clinics, and laparoscopic spay surgery. Out of hours, calls are transferred to a dedicated veterinary emergency clinic (rather than being handled in-house). Recent reviews repeatedly describe support with complex, long-running conditions (for example, a dog diagnosed and treated for Cushing’s disease) as well as surgery and aftercare, with owners noting that nurses look after pets after procedures.

Woodmancote Vets describes itself as an independent practice and a veterinary nurse training facility. The website highlights care for “small furry pets” alongside routine and surgical work, and it states they provide round‑the‑clock care via an on‑call veterinarian for urgent needs. Recent reviews mention a recent “makeover” that made the clinic feel “more modern and well organised,” and several long‑term clients say they trust the vets and don’t feel “ripped off.” One reviewer reports a specific problem with the pet health plan and worming medication (reaction, repeat supply, and being asked to pay again), suggesting processes may not always run smoothly when a medication change is needed.

Gloucester Barnwood Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets-branded practice described on its website as locally owned, with in-house facilities for diagnostics and inpatient care (including an in-house laboratory, hospital ward and isolation unit). The clinic is set up for both routine care (nurse clinics, weight clinic, microchipping, health plans) and more involved procedures (dentistry and orthopaedic surgery such as cruciate surgery and fracture repair). From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly describe: - same-day or “seen straight away” help for urgent problems (including an eye issue and a blocked bladder in a cat) - vets taking time with anxious pets and not rushing appointments - supportive end-of-life care (including a candle-lit room during euthanasia)

Vale Wildlife Hospital & Rehabilitation Centre is a wildlife-only hospital and rehabilitation charity that reports treating over 8,000 wildlife casualties each year and has been operating for over 40 years. Based on the website and recent reviews, it’s set up for members of the public to bring in injured or orphaned wild animals and birds without needing to call ahead, and it also supports urgent rescues (including a reported call-out to free a trapped fox). Reviewers repeatedly mention staff taking in a wide range of species (foxes, birds, a baby rat) and providing practical processes like issuing a “patient number” so people can request updates.

Companion Care (Cheltenham) Ltd trading as Vets4Pets is part of the Vets4Pets group. From the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for a wide range of cases with on-site diagnostics and treatment (including an in-house lab, pharmacy, digital X‑ray, and ultrasound) plus separate cat and dog waiting areas and wards and an isolation unit. Recent reviews describe both routine and complex care, including: a home visit euthanasia that was rearranged on the day when capacity changed, owners being kept informed throughout the day during procedures, and ongoing management of an eye tumour. A smaller number of reviews report concerns about costs and policies (including a reported £250 fee for an unregistered dog needing advice and criticism around written prescriptions).

Madra Veterinary Clinic Ltd describes itself as an independent practice, run by a husband-and-wife team with small-animal clinical experience. The website emphasises same-day emergency appointments for sick animals and in-house diagnostics (digital X‑ray, ultrasound, blood and urine testing). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly describe surgery being performed by the clinical team (including eye surgery and spays), being seen quickly for non-routine problems, and vets who explain options clearly rather than rushing decisions (one owner notes an eye removal was not pursued because another option was tried successfully).

The Rowe Veterinary Group is a multi-site first-opinion veterinary practice (six practices) that also has access to a 24-hour hospital within the group, and this surgery is described on the clinic website as having MRI facilities. The website also states they see a wide range of species beyond dogs and cats, including small furries, birds, and exotic animals. In recent reviews, owners most often mention: - being able to get appointments without difficulty and being seen efficiently - supportive handling of nervous/anxious dogs (extra effort to help them settle) - practical treatment for specific problems such as a cut paw and ongoing management of feline hyperthyroidism - smooth coordination between branches when booking an appointment at a different site

Stonehouse Veterinary Practice describes itself as an independent clinic and a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on its website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and more complex medical/surgical cases, with diagnostics and inpatient support on site. Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include: - Same-day appointment offered for a very unwell cat, with the reviewer noting it was without an added emergency higher rate. - Imaging and lab work used to reach diagnoses (X-rays, ultrasound and lab results are explicitly described in reviews). - In-house treatment/hospital care is referenced (e.g., a severely ill dog improving after “a couple days of in-house treatment” and ongoing medication to keep a cancer in remission). - End-of-life support including a home visit is described, including practical help such as washing the dog’s blankets and helping the family create keepsakes.

Crickmore Vets / Arvonia Vets describes itself as an independent practice (the site says it “isn’t tied to a corporate ethos”) and has been focused on family pets since 1980. From the website, it appears set up for advanced in-house diagnostics and surgery, with a CT scanner, ultrasound, and an on-site laboratory, plus stated strengths in orthopaedics (including knee reconstruction) and complex soft tissue surgery. In the latest reviews available, owners most often talk about end-of-life care (support during euthanasia, helping pets stay comfortable a bit longer, and a bereavement card sent afterwards) and puppy vaccinations/check-ups where the team tried to build a positive association with vet visits.
