Frome Equine Vets
Frome
Our Score (60/100)
Frome Equine Vets is an equine-focused practice that offers emergency veterinary services and is frequently used for pre-purchase examinations (including 5-stage vettings). Reviews repeatedly describe detailed, step-by-step communication during vettings—one client reports the vet phoned at each stage to explain findings and check whether they wanted to proceed. Another specific example mentioned is rapid turnaround of documentation, with certificate/notes/scans emailed the same day. There is also a clear split in experiences around a disputed sale: one reviewer alleges the practice “blew” a sale before seeing the horse, while the buyer involved says they personally chose not to proceed due to concerns about incomplete history and reluctance to release records/passport.

Dilliway Bosley Equine Veterinary Practice is an independent equine-only clinic for horses and ponies, offering both mobile visits and clinic-based appointments for “more specialised treatments” (website). The practice also states it provides a 24-hour emergency response service, 365 days a year (website). From the latest written reviews available to us, owners repeatedly point to a pragmatic approach to care and spending (e.g., “will not waste your money”), and to clear follow-up after investigations—including a case where a horse was scoped for suspected ulcers, followed by a written report, a treatment plan, and ongoing phone support months later.

Oakapple Surgery is reviewed primarily around consultations with Janet (vet), including care for a dog and a Syrian hamster. Owners repeatedly describe Janet as calm and attentive, with multiple reviews noting she listens to concerns and helps put owners “at rest.” Several reviewers also mention not being overcharged or finding the pricing cheaper than other vets, while one reviewer reports a poor first impression at reception, saying they “didn’t get past the lady on the desk” due to curt, disinterested manner.

Tone Veterinary Centre
Taunton
Our Score (53/100)
Tone Veterinary Centre is a long-established small-animal practice (established in the early 1900s) that works closely with a sister practice. Based on its stated facilities (in-house lab, X‑ray and ultrasound) and services list, it’s set up for routine care plus investigations, dentistry and referrals (including a dermatology referral service). It’s also a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available to us, owners describe very different experiences around end-of-life decision-making: one reviewer felt strongly pressured toward euthanasia for an elderly dog with suspected UTI (which they say later resolved with antibiotics), while another describes being given clear explanations, as much time as needed, and a condolence card and respectful handling of ashes after a euthanasia appointment. Reviews also mention dental work leading to prompt referral for advanced imaging (CT) when something more serious was suspected.

The County Veterinary Clinic
Ilminster
Our Score (47/100)
The County Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice established in January 2005. The website states it offers a 24-hour emergency service and appointments seven days a week, and it is accredited as an official “Cat-Friendly” practice (International Society for Feline Medicine) as well as a Guide Dog–approved practice.
