Midsomer Veterinary Centre – Vets in Midsomer Norton
Clinic Overview
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.

Very happy that I changed to this vet. So refreshing to have a vet that cares about the pet and not just profit! Prices are fair and reasonable and alternatives are offered where money is an issue, not to mention the treatment and care my dogs have received has been excellent.

This practice is amazing. I have been with them for over 10yrs and they have shown complete compassion, professionalism and support to all my pets. We have had some challenging times over the years with our animals but what I appreciate is the honesty and respect that the vets have for not only me but my furry companions. Laurence has been amazing, especially with my dog however his new vets are just as fabulous as him. I could not recommend this vets enough, especially because I get continuity and personal interaction. Something that I personally don’t get from my own doctor. I can strongly recommend this vets.

I’m sorry you are getting bad reviews from the community for something out of your control. If they only knew the amount of animals that always need help… and to shame us for not being able to help? Shame on them as “good samaritans” for not offering to pay the bill. Someone has to be financially responsible. When your car breaks down, we don’t expect the maniac shop to do labor and parts at no cost just because the car means something to someone. It’s called LIFE. Same goes for human care… someone always is responsible. #NOMV

My niece took a distressed cat into this vet today in need of urgent attention after it was found in my late mums shed. Dehydrated and malnourished and was turned away because it wasn’t chipped. DISGRACEFUL!!!! Call yourself animal lovers. 1* is given as zero isn’t an option. Shame on you!!

This a wonderful, small, friendly independent vet practice where I've been taking my dogs for over 10 years. It's so important to preserve and support independent vets. And very reassuring to know the advice I'm getting is unbiased and the vets are not being influenced by large insurance and drug companies. This helps me know my dogs really are getting the best treatment they can get.
