Bowbridge Veterinary Group

Bowbridge Veterinary Group describes itself as an independent practice that has been operating since 1967. Recent reviews suggest the clinic is set up for routine veterinary care including cat dental surgery, with owners highlighting clear explanations from the vet and supportive front-desk handling (for example, keeping a cat “happy and healthy” through a dental procedure, and receptionists giving dogs treats/fuss). Feedback is mixed on consultation experience: some clients praise compassion and welfare-first care, while others report inconsistent diagnoses/treatment and rushed appointments with unanswered questions.
