Best Vets in Shropshire

Abbey Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice established in the early 1990s, and it uses a cvsvets.com email domain (associated with CVS). The clinic is set up for routine care plus in-practice diagnostics (in-house lab, X‑ray and ultrasound), and it holds RCVS General Practice registration along with Cat Friendly Clinic (Gold) and Rabbit Friendly Clinic (Silver) status. Based on the latest reviews, owners most often describe: - Hands-on urgent help, including sending two nurses to administer a stronger pain injection and help move a dog into the car when the owner couldn’t lift him. - Clear option-setting during scary symptoms, e.g., talking through next steps after a dog had a seizure. - Strong “routine-care systems”, such as reminder emails the day before appointments and thorough check-overs during vaccination visits (including microchip checks mentioned).

Animal Trust Vets cic describes itself as a not-for-profit, full-service general practice offering free consultations and “value-based” transparent pricing, supported by modern medical equipment (the website specifically mentions CT scans). Reviews reinforce a setup that handles routine care through to procedures: owners mention dental extractions (four teeth removed), spays, surgery, and sedation for stressful nail clipping, plus a follow-up call after a dental procedure. Several reviewers also highlight practical systems such as online chat for questions and self check-in machines in the waiting area.

Small-animal veterinary practice offering both routine care and more advanced work (including orthopaedic and soft-tissue surgery, cardiology and internal medicine), with 24-hour emergency support via an on-site dedicated emergency service (MiNightVet) outside routine appointment hours. The clinic is also a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners often describe supportive handling around sensitive visits (including euthanasia and anxious/defensive animals), and straightforward help with routine procedures like spaying. A minority of recent reviews report a very different experience, including feeling spoken down to, concerns that an examination wasn’t thorough, and feeling pressured by cost.

Border Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that also functions as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (described as 24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews describe a mix of strong clinical experiences—such as treatment for an eye problem that improved within a week and supportive end‑of‑life care (including a condolence card and “forget‑me‑not” seeds)—alongside concerns about front‑desk interactions and internal communication. A few owners report issues like requests not being followed (e.g., agreed collection arrangements after an anaesthetic) and delays in handling insurance paperwork, while a small number of reviews raise more serious complaints about cleanliness and post‑stay issues.

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.

The Market Town Vet is an independent practice. From the information available, it appears set up for routine preventive care (e.g., kitten check-ups and vaccinations) as well as urgent and inpatient medical cases, with owners describing pets being kept in for the day and spending multiple days in a “doggy hospital” with treatments like IV fluids and antibiotics. The practice does not provide out-of-hours care itself; calls are diverted to an external out-of-hours provider. Clinic-specific details mentioned by owners include: - Emergency surgery for a puppy, with the team keeping the owner updated throughout. - Management of a dog that ingested ibuprofen, including attempts to induce vomiting, system flushing, blood tests, and two days of hospitalisation followed by further treatment for infection. - A puppy being in for the full day and returning for second vaccinations, appearing comfortable with the staff.

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.

The Little Vet Company is a small veterinary practice (no corporate group mentioned in the available information). Based on recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine appointments and same‑day urgent assessments, with diagnostic work-ups (scans and blood tests) and considerable support around end‑of‑life decisions. Owners repeatedly describe being given time in the consult room and clear explanations of options and outcomes. Concrete examples mentioned include: fitting in a guinea pig at short notice and performing a pregnancy scan; running scans and bloods for a suddenly unwell dog; and offering at-home euthanasia so a pet could pass with other household dogs present.

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.

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).
