Best Vets in Gloucestershire

• •Dental procedure communication: an owner of a cat undergoing dental surgery says the vet and receptionist were “incredibly informative” and focused on the cat’s comfort and wellbeing during the visit. - Compassion in difficult moments: one review highlights standout kindness toward a dog during an appointment, naming vet Phil. - Front-desk experience matters: multiple mentions of caring receptionists (including dogs getting treats/fuss).

Evolve Animal Health (trading as Evolution Vets Ltd) is described in reviews as offering both equine veterinary support and professional training courses. Recent written feedback is dominated by a “PD scanning course” with multiple reviewers describing a structured mix of theory and hands-on practical modules, while older reviews describe rapid call-outs for worried horse owners and ongoing support through a difficult month with ponies.

The Brambles Veterinary Surgery describes itself as a family-owned and run practice established in 1971 (i.e., not part of a named corporate group in the information provided). Based on its website and recent review examples, it appears set up for modern small-animal care with a surgical focus, including keyhole surgery (diagnostic laparoscopy) and full surgical facilities. Owners also mention support through difficult end-of-life decisions (including a specific mention of compassionate help when a 16‑year‑old cat was euthanised), and one review highlights an “accommodating” response when an appointment time was mixed up and only one of two cats could be brought.

Ashcroft Veterinary Surgery is described in reviews as a small practice with a calm, clean waiting environment and a helpful front-desk team. Owners mention the clinic handling both routine procedures (for example, kitten spays) and more major surgery (one cat’s eye removal, with the outcome described as “tidy and clean work”). Recent feedback is mostly positive, but there is also a detailed complaint about end-of-life care: one owner felt the vet’s manner during euthanasia wasn’t compassionate, and reported poor communication and a long wait (nearly 6 weeks) to receive ashes after cremation.

B&W Equine Group is a dedicated equine practice (horses, ponies and donkeys) offering both ambulatory (mobile) visits and a referral hospital service. The website describes a purpose-built equine hospital with on-site laboratory services and a team including specialist veterinary surgeons, alongside a 24/7 emergency service where calls are answered by experienced veterinary nurses who can advise until a vet arrives.

Carrot Tops Mobile Surgery For Pets is an appointment-based veterinary service established in 2010 that offers both clinic appointments and home visits, with options like pet collection/return and home euthanasia. Reviews often describe them making space for urgent concerns (including same-day appointments when a cat was seriously unwell, and support for a dog that was brought in without an appointment due to suspected stroke).

Ashcroft Veterinary Surgery is a small-animal practice where reviews specifically mention on-site diagnosis and surgery for an orthopaedic problem (a dog’s knee dislocation), as well as support through cancer care and euthanasia. Owners also describe practical decision-making and, in one case, the clinic handling insurance communication directly. Experiences aren’t uniform: alongside multiple 5‑star accounts, one review reports concerns about pet handling, staff professionalism, and being charged “almost double” compared with other vets.

Dragon Vets Tewkesbury is a purpose-built, air-conditioned clinic that states it is RCVS-accredited and equipped for more advanced work such as CT scanning and keyhole surgery, alongside routine and preventative care. It is also described in the clinic data as a veterinary nurse training facility, which some reviewers see as a benefit while others strongly object to trainees being involved in critical cases.
