Minster Veterinary Services Ltd is a long-established, independent small-animal practice (established in the 1950s) that now focuses on domestic pets only. The website states it is RCVS-accredited and equipped for in-clinic diagnostics (including an in-house laboratory, high-frequency radiography, and Doppler ultrasonography). Based on the site and the latest reviews, this clinic appears set up for both routine care and more complex surgical cases—with owners specifically mentioning vaccinations, assessment of a small lump (needle test to check it was most likely a cyst), and TPLO surgery for a large dog. Reviewers repeatedly describe staff as professional, knowledgeable, and good at reducing anxiety for nervous owners and pets.
