Dog & Cat Vets in Somerset

Midsomer Veterinary Centre is an independently owned veterinary practice (not part of a corporate group, as stated on its website). The clinic describes offering consultations, investigations, surgery, and medical treatment, with 24-hour emergency care/advice routed via an external out-of-hours provider (meaning urgent treatment may require travel). From the latest reviews available, owners often mention long-term continuity (“over 10 years”), recognising familiar staff, and vets discussing options when cost is a concern. There is also a clear point of conflict in the reviews: one recent account says a distressed found cat was turned away because it wasn’t microchipped, while another reviewer argues the practice is being criticised for something “out of your control” and stresses that someone must be financially responsible.

Tone Veterinary Centre is a long-established small‑animal practice (established in the early 1900s) offering consultations, surgery and routine care, with on‑site diagnostics including X‑ray, ultrasound and an in‑house lab. It’s accredited as an RCVS General Practice and a Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver), and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available, owners often mention: - Detailed communication during investigations (one owner describes sedation for an X‑ray being explained step‑by‑step and receiving multiple phone updates throughout the day). - Support around end‑of‑life care, including being given a private room set up with soft blankets and having the process explained in detail. - A conflicting experience in older reviews: one owner describes a very poor phone manner; another alleges an injury occurred during a blood draw and disputes how the practice handled responsibility and repeat charges.

Vets Now Bath is part of the Vets Now corporate network (a UK-wide out‑of‑hours emergency provider). Based on the website and reviews, it’s set up primarily for urgent and emergency presentations when regular vets are closed, with small‑animal care and a triage/rapid-assessment workflow. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention being seen quickly for emergencies, clear explanations of options, and regular updates on what’s happening. Specific examples include treatment for a dog that needed to be made sick after eating a mango, follow-on endoscopy for another ingestion episode, breathing problems assessed “straight away,” and dental work for a cat. There is also a mixed signal on cost and experience: one reviewer cites a “basic £324” fee and a negative outcome, while several others describe staff as reassuring and not pushing expensive out‑of‑hours testing.

Mount Vets Ltd is an independent veterinary practice established in 1945. Based on its website, it’s set up to handle a mixed caseload: farm animal work, small animal care, and export-related veterinary services. The practice also states it provides 24‑hour emergency care using its own veterinary and nursing teams. Google shows a 5.0★ rating (3 reviews); the written feedback available is brief but mentions “excellent work” and “very friendly people.”

Priory Close Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice, caring for pets for over 35 years, and treating dogs, cats, and small furries. The clinic appears set up for both routine prevention and more involved cases: reviews mention pain-management acupuncture for severe arthritis, discussing surgical options for an older dog, and making an orthopaedic referral to a specialist with post-operative care handled back at the practice. The website also states that out-of-hours emergencies are covered by Quantock Veterinary Hospital (7pm–8am and on Bank Holidays).

Golden Valley Veterinary Hospital is a first-opinion practice that also offers 24-hour emergency care, and it’s set up for a broad range of in-house diagnostics and treatment (CT and MRI imaging, an on-site laboratory, theatres, dental facilities, and laser therapy). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. In the latest reviews available, owners describe staff coordinating urgent assessment during an emergency and doing “everything they could” to work out what was wrong, and another review highlights detailed support with pet travel/export requirements (treatments plus paperwork, with “second to none” communication). There is also a contrasting older review alleging poor clinical assessment (a lump missed) and dissatisfaction with how a complaint was handled.

WSM Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets practice (the website describes practices as “locally owned”). Based on the information available, the clinic appears set up for routine care plus urgent same-day appointments when needed, with multiple reviews describing emergency slots and follow-up communication after treatment. Owners mention practical touches such as sending photos after a cat’s surgery, handling euthanasia and payment “with discretion,” and a condolence card signed by the team. Reviews are mostly positive, but there are also a small number of very negative experiences reported without detail.

Wells Vets is a branch surgery of Shepton Vets (opened in 2018) and is set up for both everyday care and more involved work: the website lists routine and complex surgery (including keyhole spays), dentistry and diagnostic imaging, with out-of-hours emergency and nursing care provided via the main Shepton Vets centre. Facilities highlighted include separate dog and cat wards, an in-house lab, and dental radiography. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly name a vet called Polly and describe clear explanations around options and prognosis (including end-of-life decision-making), plus specific successful outcomes after complex dental work and a “major op.” One reviewer also describes being helped during an emergency visit and feeling the cost was “amazing.”

Kingston Veterinary Group is a long-established mixed practice (founded in 1886) that treats domestic pets as well as livestock and horses. The clinic is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility, and its website references Pet Health Club “Essential” and “Plus” plans (including a yearly wellness check mentioned by a plan member in reviews). Recent feedback is mixed: some owners describe smooth, “excellent service” from first call through the appointment, while others report inconsistent experiences between different vets, concerns about empathy/communication, and a serious complaint about dental extractions reportedly going far beyond what was discussed.

Bath Veterinary Group is part of the IVC group (mentioned by a reviewer) and operates a main site plus additional branches (per the clinic website). From the latest reviews, this branch is commonly described as welcoming and unhurried: owners mention consultations sometimes run over, but because the vet “doesn’t rush” and takes time to address concerns. Specific experiences noted include staff making a fuss of dogs on arrival, a vet examining an anxious dog at floor level to help her settle, and detailed, sympathetic guidance for a very sick cat (even when the outcome wasn’t improved).
