Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Priory Close Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice with over 35 years of experience, offering “traditional values with modern facilities and techniques.” It’s set up for both routine care and urgent same-day problems (reviews mention being offered same-day appointments and being seen quickly for emergencies), alongside in-house clinical work such as medical investigations and dental work. The practice is also RCVS approved for training small animal nurses.

From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention

  • Fast access when it matters (same-day appointments; urgent cases accommodated).
  • Practical, clearly explained treatment (e.g., raisin ingestion treated quickly with an emetic injection and monitored vomiting; after-care advice given).
  • A “not pushing unnecessary treatment” approach (owners say they weren’t advised to do things that weren’t needed).

Services

Services explicitly mentioned on the practice website include

  • Vaccinations
  • Routine and emergency services

Emergency/out-of-hours arrangements (as stated on the website)

Examples of care referenced in reviews

  • Toxin/foreign ingestion support: dog treated urgently after eating a raisin (emetic injection, observation while vomiting, then an antidote and home after-care advice).
  • Treatment for an unwell cat: three injections given during a same-day appointment, with reported rapid improvement.
  • Annual vaccination + health check, including discussion of weight management.
  • Flea and worming reminders, with treatments said to be posted out.

People

  • Ian (vet) is named repeatedly. Reviewers describe him and the team as
  • Reassuring in urgent situations, including talking owners through what to do and acting quickly (e.g., raisin ingestion case treated within about 20 minutes of the incident being spotted).
  • Willing to discuss longer-term issues (e.g., weight gain in a mid-life dog, with a plan that addressed hunger concerns).
  • Reception team is explicitly praised in an emergency review for their handling of the situation (“excellent…receptions”).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.8 stars from 325 reviews “”

  • Speed and access: owners mention same-day appointments, choice of appointment times, and being seen quickly for urgent issues (including a Saturday lunchtime visit).
  • Clear, hands-on treatment in consults: examples include emetic/antidote treatment for raisin ingestion and multiple injections for an unwell cat, with reported improvement soon after.
  • Decision-making owners agree with: multiple reviewers say the practice doesn’t recommend treatment “that wasn’t needed.”
  • End-of-life support: one reviewer specifically mentions staff being empathetic when they had to say goodbye to a pet.
  • Cost perceptions vary by detail but trend positive: reviewers frequently call charges “reasonable” or “more than fair,” including in urgent cases—however, no specific fees are quoted in the reviews provided.
