Priory Close Veterinary Practice is an independent small-animal clinic (the website says it’s been caring for pets for over 35 years) and is set up for everyday primary-care vet work plus urgent same-day problems. Owners repeatedly mention being offered same-day appointments for unwell pets, and several reviews describe clear, practical treatment given quickly (for example, a dog treated within ~20 minutes of eating a raisin with an injection to induce vomiting, and a cat given three injections and improving within 12 hours). The practice is also RCVS-approved for training small animal nurses (per the website).

Priory Close Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice with over 35 years of experience, offering “traditional values with modern facilities and techniques.” It’s set up for both routine care and urgent same-day problems (reviews mention being offered same-day appointments and being seen quickly for emergencies), alongside in-house clinical work such as medical investigations and dental work. The practice is also RCVS approved for training small animal nurses. From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention: - Fast access when it matters (same-day appointments; urgent cases accommodated). - Practical, clearly explained treatment (e.g., raisin ingestion treated quickly with an emetic injection and monitored vomiting; after-care advice given). - A “not pushing unnecessary treatment” approach (owners say they weren’t advised to do things that weren’t needed).

Blake Veterinary Group Ltd runs multiple surgeries and treats both domestic and exotic pets. The website highlights nursing staff on site 24 hours a day, and provides instructions for what to do if an emergency happens when the clinic is closed. Recent reviews also describe practical, pet-stress-reducing touches (a waiting area divided so cats can sit separately from dogs) and examples of case management such as keeping owners informed during a “serious illness,” and sourcing a longer-acting antibiotic to avoid daily return visits for injections. One recent review raises a specific concern about inconsistent information around eligibility for a discounted geriatric screening offer.

Beaconsfield Veterinary Clinic offers vet consults, surgery and a range of nurse-led clinics and pet packages (including puppy/kitten and senior clinics). Reviews describe them fitting in a new client with a poorly cat, explaining treatment options and costs clearly (“no hidden fees”), and not always pushing medication if another option is available. Owners also mention a rabbit surgery where everything was discussed in detail, and an urgent appointment for a dog with a leg laceration where the team acted quickly and handled a nervous dog well. One reviewer reports the opposite experience—feeling “steamrolled” into buying sedatives—so experiences around prescribing can vary.
