The George Veterinary Clinic - Nailsworth describes itself as an independent practice with over 75 years of experience, RCVS accredited, and set up to treat a wide mix of animals (pets, equine, farm animals and pigs). The website also states it offers 24-hour services with continuity of veterinary care, and the clinic is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

Across the latest reviews available to us, owners most often talk about end-of-life support and clear follow-through: several mention euthanasia appointments handled with compassion, and one describes receiving a condolence letter/card afterwards. Reviews also describe being squeezed in at short notice for problems like a tick under a dog’s eye and a bad ear infection, alongside more involved medical and dental care (for example, tooth extractions and managing a cat’s high blood pressure).

The clinic also appears set up for more involved cases as well as everyday appointments, with one owner specifically describing mast cell tumour removal and detailed explanations of outcomes. The website also states the team can visit farms for routine and emergency care.

Drybridge Veterinary Clinic describes itself as a small-animal practice treating domestic pets, with out-of-hours care provided by Vets Now (via the usual surgery number). Reviews suggest a long-established practice that some families have used for decades, and several owners explicitly contrast it with other clinics they felt were “profit driven,” saying Drybridge prioritised the animal’s needs. Concrete examples mentioned include reviewing a dog’s history with the owner’s regular vet before an appointment, providing a thorough examination and clear diagnosis, and sending notes back to the home vet (one reviewer reports this visit cost under £50).

The Cotswold Equine Clinic is presented in structured clinic data as offering emergency veterinary services, but the latest owner feedback available to us focuses almost entirely on equine physiotherapy-style visits delivered by Chloe (including hands-on assessment, treatment, and rehab exercises). Reviews repeatedly describe thorough full-body assessments, detailed explanations of findings, and aftercare plans (home exercises and written reports). Owners also mention specific modalities used in sessions, including massage, Indiba, and SLEIP gait analysis, with examples ranging from post-fall soreness to longer-term stiffness and rehab.

Richardson Equine Vets describes itself as an independent equine practice, providing care for horses and donkeys and offering 24/7, 365-day emergency cover (per the clinic website). The clinic is set up for both routine work and more investigative cases, with website-listed diagnostics including radiography, ultrasound and endoscopy, plus dentistry and lameness/poor performance investigations.

In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe vets talking through options and likely outcomes (including end‑of‑life decisions), and giving practical management advice alongside clinical care (for example, reviewing a feeding regime and measurements). Some reviews refer to “Cheltenham Equine Vets,” which may indicate a naming/branding link or change; the input data here identifies the clinic as Richardson Equine Vets, so there is a name mismatch across sources.

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.

From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention thorough diagnostics (including an MRI case), calm and professional handling when clients are worried, and efficient service. One reviewer, however, strongly objects to what they describe as “corporate money driven policies,” specifically a requirement for prepayment before visits.

Recent reviews consistently describe continuity (clients say the team “get to know your pet” and you’re often “consistent with who you see”), flexibility for urgent problems (one owner was fitted in close to closing time for a torn dewclaw), and supportive end-of-life care (multiple reviews mention euthanasia guidance and “gentle care” during a goodbye).

The Coppins Veterinary Practice is an independent clinic (established over 60 years ago) that treats small animals as well as farm and equine patients, with camelid care also listed on its site.

From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: some owners describe urgent care and follow-up (including a dog kept overnight on a Sunday and a vet phoning to discuss prognosis), while others report problems such as being spoken to rudely, a promised call-back not happening, and one account alleging insufficient examination before a serious condition was identified elsewhere.

The Sidings Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice providing care for small animals and horses, with 24/7 out-of-hours emergency cover delivered in collaboration with The George Veterinary Hospital (including shared access to patient records for continuity). The clinic highlights longer, 15‑minute vet appointments on its website, and reviews give concrete examples of that extra time being used—such as a vet engaging calmly with a dog before treatment. Recent reviews also mention pet travel paperwork (Export Health Certificate) handled end-to-end, and a grass seed removal that was managed without sedation.

Three Counties Equine Hospital is an RCVS-accredited equine hospital (established 1989) with a large team (26 vets and 45+ support staff), and an HBLB-certified laboratory for CEM testing. The practice appears set up for referral-level diagnostics and hospital care, with advanced imaging on site (including MRI and scintigraphy) alongside facilities such as a purpose-built theatre, critical care, isolation, and radiography.

In recent reviews, owners describe

  • On-yard diagnostic imaging when a horse “doesn’t travel well” (x-rays performed at the owner’s yard by a vet and nurse).
  • Thorough case work-ups and collaboration with a horse’s regular vet and physio when the cause wasn’t immediately clear.
  • Treatment for colic with “very smooth communication throughout the treatment.”
  • Repeat use over many years, with specific vets named for ongoing support.

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.

Recent reviews include multiple positive comments about stud/insemination work and one detailed account praising a vet (named Sally) for fitting in a “squeezed in” appointment and explaining ongoing options; however, there are also detailed 1‑star reviews describing concerns about communication, cost, and follow-up after serious cases (including a colic call-out quote and a hospitalised foal outcome).

Pricing feedback is mixed: one recent client said an uninsured surgical case was “very reasonable” with an accurate quote, while another review alleges “extortionate prices.”

Evolve Animal Health (trading as Evolution Vets Ltd) is described in reviews as offering both equine veterinary support and professional training courses.
