Emergency Vets in Shropshire

Shrewsbury Meole Brace Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group. In the available clinic data it’s listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews describe straightforward booking (including online), fast access for worried owners (one cat was seen within an hour after a morning call), and support for ongoing conditions (a dog newly diagnosed with diabetes, with staff answering questions and explaining plans clearly). One reviewer reports a contrasting experience during a guinea pig emergency call, saying they were “told off” for being stressed and then hung up on.

Medivet Ludlow / Marches Veterinary Group is part of the Medivet group (not an independent clinic). The practice is set up for both routine and more complex surgical work, and Medivet’s website also highlights a 24-hour emergency care offering with a set overnight consultation fee (£130 between 7pm and 9am). In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe thorough examinations and clear plans (including ongoing medication for an older dog with a heart murmur), and several comments mention calm handling of nervous dogs and a consistently helpful reception team. One reviewer flags a concern about out-of-hours travel requirements.

Oakwood Veterinary Centre is described in reviews as a family-run, holistic-focused practice, with emergency veterinary services listed in the clinic data. Owners repeatedly mention longer, unhurried appointments (“not rushed” and “attention to detail”), and a preference for discussing care without being pushed into insurance-led decisions (one reviewer notes they weren’t asked “how much insurance is available for treatment”). Several reviews also point to a calm, farm-based setting that pets seem to tolerate well, and to compassionate end-of-life support (including helping a dog with cancer pass “peacefully” and sending flowers afterwards).

Medivet Wem Barclay Moore Partnership is part of the Medivet group and is set up for routine appointments alongside 24/7 emergency care. Reviews repeatedly mention staff adapting handling for nervous pets (including a dog “terrified of visiting the vet”) and supporting owners through end-of-life care (multiple accounts of compassionate help when a cat/dog was put to sleep). Practical signals include a clean, efficient clinic environment and at least one example of a vet choosing a low‑intervention approach (worm treatment) rather than “expensive procedures.” A minority of reviews flag operational issues: confusing automated messages around appointments and reports of limited appointment availability during a period without a vet/locum.

Severn Edge Veterinary Group – Much Wenlock is part of the Severn Edge veterinary group, with structured clinic data indicating emergency cover (24/7 or extended hours) and that it is a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviewers most often talk about day-to-day consults and tests, with one detailed account of a referred endoscopy where the vet took a full history, explained the plan, gave updates during the day, and went through findings afterwards. A recurring decision point in the reviews is cost: multiple owners praise the front-line team, while also describing steep or rising prices and feeling they didn’t get value from investigations. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Endoscopy work-up with detailed explanations and same-day updates (review). - Blood testing during a 20‑minute appointment that an owner felt was inconclusive (review). - Pricing concerns including quotes for a grass-seed issue and a dog spay (review). - A negative account of a euthanasia experience where the owner felt sedation should have been handled differently (review).

Severn Edge Veterinary Group – Bridgnorth Pets / MiNightVet Bridgnorth is part of the Severn Edge Veterinary Group and operates as an RCVS Veterinary Hospital with 24-hour emergency support via MiNightVet (with full-time night staff). Based on the website, it’s set up as a small-animal hospital with in-house diagnostics (lab, X-ray, ultrasound) and a wide range of services including referral-level work (cardiology, internal medicine, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, soft tissue, and laparoscopic/keyhole surgery). In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly describe emergency and inpatient care: rapid response during active seizures, hospitalisation over multiple nights with regular updates, and fast turnaround on test-result calls. Several reviews also highlight end-of-life support, including being able to stay with pets and receiving paw/nose prints.

Severn Edge Farm Vets is part of the Severn Edge veterinary group and is described on its website as an RCVS Veterinary Hospital with in-house lab, X-ray and ultrasound. It offers a wide range of routine care (vaccinations, neutering, microchipping) alongside referral-level services such as orthopaedic surgery, keyhole surgery, ophthalmology, cardiology and internal medicine. For emergencies, the practice states it provides 24-hour emergency support, with MiNightVet Bridgnorth providing dedicated out-of-hours emergency services. In the latest written reviews available, owners highlight practical support that goes beyond the consult itself—phone advice, clear explanations on how to give medication, and updates during urgent situations. Reviews also mention care for hens (including gentle handling) and an incident involving an injured muntjac, where a vet called back, gave advice, then located the animal and kept the family informed.

Medivet Ellesmere Talbot Street is part of the Medivet group (not an independent practice). Based on the information available, it seems set up for general practice care with access to Medivet’s wider out-of-hours network, plus support around complex and end-of-life cases. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - Diagnosis and ongoing management of diabetes in a large-breed dog, with reported improvement for around 6 months. - End-of-life care is a prominent theme: owners describe gentle sedation before euthanasia and, in one case, an at-home end-of-life experience. - Same-morning appointment was reported for an urgent issue while travelling. - The practice is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Telford Madeley Vets4Pets Ltd is a locally owned Vets4Pets practice with a modern, well‑equipped setup (in‑house lab, digital X‑ray, ultrasound, operating theatre, hospital ward, and separate cat/dog waiting and wards). Based on the clinic’s stated capabilities and what owners describe, it appears geared for routine care plus diagnostics and surgery, including dentistry and soft‑tissue/orthopaedic procedures, and it also advertises care for rabbits and small mammals. Decision‑relevant signals from recent reviews are mixed: several owners describe vets taking time to explain options and handling anxious pets calmly, while others report concerns about costs/upselling, front‑desk rudeness, and record‑keeping/medication charging errors. Specific examples mentioned include squeezing in an anxious dog when the owner arrived a week early, dental surgery with extractions for an older collie with a heart murmur, and a complaint that a guinea pig was charged for “critical care” that wasn’t in stock. Out‑of‑hours care is stated on the website as being provided by Vets Now.

Lower House Equine Clinic is an equine-only practice offering 24/7 emergency cover and inpatient facilities, and it’s also described in the clinic data as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews repeatedly mention working with the clinic both via yard visits and by bringing horses into the clinic, with multiple examples of practical, conservative management advice (for example, a tendon injury plan involving box rest and rehabilitation). Owners also highlight routine preventative care being carried out at the yard (vaccinations, microchipping, and routine dental work) and describe staff taking time to answer questions and keep both horse and owner calm.
