Best Vets in Somerset

Stables Equine Practice is an equine-only veterinary clinic established in 1997 (no corporate group ownership is mentioned). The practice is set up for both routine and higher‑intensity horse and pony work, including stud work and competition support, with a purpose-built clinic plus ambulatory capability and diagnostic equipment (X‑rays, ultrasonography and endoscopy are listed). It states it provides 24-hour emergency cover 7 days a week using its own equine vets, and recent reviews describe rapid emergency attendance (including being out “within the hour” to stitch a pony).

Blake Vets East Quay is part of the Blake Vet Group (a group operating three veterinary surgeries). From the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for routine pet healthcare and ongoing support, including a Pet Health Club option to spread the cost of preventative care, and it states nursing staff are on site 24 hours a day. The clinic also states it cares for both domestic and exotic pets, and it’s listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

Mount Vets Farm Practice Ltd has been established since 1945 and covers farm animal work, small animal veterinary care, and export services. The website also states it provides 24-hour emergency care using its own veterinary and nursing teams. In the limited written feedback available, the only specific detail repeated is that clients describe the team as “very friendly” and the work as “excellent.”

Vets4Pets Taunton is part of the Vets4Pets group and describes itself as a locally owned practice. Based on the website, it’s set up as a modern, well-equipped small-animal clinic with in-house diagnostics (lab work, X‑ray and ultrasound), a hospital ward and an operating theatre. Reviews show a split experience: some owners describe compassionate, prompt help (including an emergency euthanasia where the receptionist Chloe and vet Malcolm were praised for urgency), while others report serious concerns including alleged surgical complications after a spay and an allegation that paid-for blood tests were not run.

Pet Pain Relief is a veterinary clinic focused specifically on pain management for dogs and cats. The website describes services such as pain assessments, optimising medications and supplements, joint and nerve injections, acupuncture, laser therapy, and pain‑relief drips, with ultrasound listed as a facility. Reviews repeatedly describe thorough pain assessments and detailed follow-up information—owners mention records being reviewed in advance, evidence-based explanations of options, and an “extremely detailed” write-up with prompt replies to post-appointment questions.

Axe Valley Large Animal Vets Ltd is an independently owned veterinary practice focused on large animals, with the website explicitly saying it serves farmers, smallholders, and horse owners. From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention quick attendance when needed, vets who stayed calm and assured around sheep, and fair pricing. Reviews also repeatedly describe the team as friendly and the service as consistently solid.

Evolution Vets Ltd describes itself as a farm-animal-only veterinary practice and states it does no small-animal work. Recent feedback available to us is split between farm-vet-related training (notably PD/scanning courses run by “Sally and the team”) and clinical care for equines (horses/ponies mentioned). Specific examples in the reviews include a vet arriving in under 20 minutes for a worried new horse owner, and multiple people describing a PD scanning course with a mix of theory and hands-on practice plus ongoing support.
