Stonehouse Veterinary Practice

Stonehouse Veterinary Practice presents itself as an independent clinic and a veterinary nurse training facility. It offers routine care alongside more advanced medical and surgical work, with diagnostics and inpatient support on site. Recent reviews continue to describe a caring team, clear communication, and strong support for both straightforward appointments and more complex cases.

Services

• •Routine and preventive care: consultations, vaccinations, dentistry, repeat medication, and general day-to-day veterinary care.
• •Diagnostics on site: X-ray, ultrasound, and laboratory testing. Recent reviews describe these being used to investigate serious or unusual problems, including complex illness work-ups.
• •Medical treatment and hospital care: hospitalisation and in-house treatment are part of the clinic’s offer. Owners mention multi-day inpatient care for a very unwell dog, supportive treatment such as a drip for kidney disease, and ongoing medication for long-term disease management.
• •Surgery: soft tissue surgery and orthopaedic surgery are listed by the clinic. Recent examples from owners include surgery to remove a swallowed sock and treatment for a rare nasal fungal infection carried out locally rather than by referral.
• •End-of-life and emergency arrangements: home euthanasia is mentioned by an owner, and out-of-hours emergencies are handled in partnership with Chelvets, with cases outside normal opening times redirected to Wood Veterinary Hospital.

Pricing

Published prices suggest the clinic sits above average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. Recent reviews, however, often describe the practice as price-conscious in approach, with owners mentioning cost-effective discussion of options, a “nicely priced” treatment plan, and good value compared with a higher quote elsewhere.
