Dragon Vets Tewkesbury

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.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe vets who take time, examine gently, and explain options and costs clearly—including for anxious dogs—while a smaller set of reviews raise concerns about out-of-hours waiting times, perceived cleanliness, and medication costs versus online pricing.
