Southill Vets Ltd

Southill Vets Ltd presents itself as a long-established independent veterinary practice in Wincanton. The practice offers routine preventative care alongside medical and surgical treatment, with specialist referrals when needed, and it states that 24-hour emergency care is provided by its own team rather than outsourced. Recent feedback remains very positive about the team’s friendliness, professionalism, and compassionate handling of both routine and difficult situations.

Services

Owners also mention the Pet Health Club, which includes flea and worm treatment, annual vaccinations, health checks, and discounts on some other services, including nail clipping.
•Medical, surgical, and referral work: Southill Vets lists medical and surgical treatment along with access to specialist referrals when a case needs onward expertise. Reviews also mention support for an unwell dog over time, with owners praising the team’s care and expertise.

All three of our dogs have been registered here since we brought them home. We are members of their Pet Health Club, a monthly subscription that provides excellent value by covering flea and worm treatments, annual vaccinations, and health checks, along with discounts on various treatments and nail clipping. We are especially grateful for the care they gave our Cocker Spaniel as he was quite ill when we first got him, but thanks to their expertise and support, he's a fully healthy dog.

I used this vets for over 20 years. They have always been professional and friendly.

This is one of the few remaining independent vets who run their own after hours surgery - it isn't farmed out to a vet mill which belongs to a giant asset manager or venture capitalist. They care about the animals. The entire team consists of professional, dedicated people who clearly love what they do, and always do what's best for my pets, not their bottom line.
