Medivet Ludlow / Marches Veterinary Group

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.
