Best Vets in Midsomer Norton – Complete Local Guide

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.

Highcroft Veterinary Group – Silva House Veterinary Centre is part of the Highcroft Veterinary Group and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The Highcroft website describes a small-animal hospital-style setup across the group, including in-house diagnostics (lab work plus X‑ray and ultrasound), and a wide menu of routine and surgical care (from vaccinations and parasite control through to dentistry and general surgery). Review signals are mixed: some recent reviewers describe vets taking time to explain procedures and being patient with nervous dogs, while several 1‑star reviews (some explicitly from people who say they are not clients) allege the practice agreed to euthanase a young dog without sufficient testing or challenge.
