Maison Dieu Vets is a small-animal practice (established in the late 1990s) that appears to be part of the CVS Group (their contact email uses the cvs.com domain). The practice lists in-house diagnostics (including an in-house lab, X-ray and ultrasound) and offers a broad mix of routine care and procedures—owners specifically mention dental work and end-of-life care in reviews. Recent reviews are mostly positive about compassion during euthanasia appointments and willingness to work to a budget for dentistry, but one reviewer raises a serious concern about a lump being described as a cyst years earlier and later found to be cancerous, with knock-on worries about insurance. Concrete specifics supported by the site/reviews: - In-house lab, X-ray and ultrasound listed on the website. - Dentistry is offered, and owners mention teeth work being done while “sticking to my budget.” - Pet travel documentation is offered; one reviewer describes being invited in to review paperwork together for an AHC certificate. - Multiple reviews describe calm, empathetic euthanasia support and a peaceful process.

Portland Vets
Edenbridge
Our Score (78/100)
Portland Vets describes itself as an independent veterinary practice and a veterinary nurse training facility. The website also states it offers 24-hour onsite inpatient care Monday–Friday. Recent reviews most often point to staff taking time with nervous pets, clear communication and planning, and follow-up contact for updates—alongside one account alleging an unresolved, repeated infection despite biopsies and a focus on taking payment. Concrete examples owners mention include: taking a “wary” dog slowly to find a less stressful way of treating her, regularly contacting an owner for updates, a staff member finding pricing and vaccination timing for a new dog, and a team that discussed next steps internally before advising on a poorly cat.

Two Parkwood Vets is part of the Mote Park Vet Group and presents itself (via its website) as a modern, well‑equipped practice with experience in surgery, medicine and orthopaedics. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention fast access to appointments (including same‑day and being seen within a couple of hours), clear, “no‑nonsense” advice, and a feeling that recommendations aren’t driven by selling extras (one reviewer specifically praises them for not trying to “flog” drugs or add-on fees). Dental work is also directly referenced, with one owner saying the team explained the dental treatment clearly and helped them feel at ease.

Shrubbery Veterinary Centre
Gravesend
Our Score (77/100)
Shrubbery Veterinary Centre is an independent veterinary practice (no corporate group mentioned on its website) and says it has been providing veterinary care for over 60 years. The clinic describes itself as well-equipped with a large group of clinicians with different skills, and it is an accredited veterinary nurse training practice. It also states it provides emergency care 7 days a week, 365 days a year. From the latest reviews available, owners describe being told to come straight in for emergencies (including a 16‑week‑old puppy) and mention specific procedures like dental cleaning, possible tooth extractions (later not needed), ear care, and nail/claw clipping. However, there are also serious complaints describing misdiagnosis, conflicting opinions between different vets, and dissatisfaction escalating to referral elsewhere and a disputed bill being passed to a debt collection agency.

Vets Now (Ashford) is part of the Vets Now corporate group, which focuses on pet emergency care (including out-of-hours clinics and video consultations) for small animals. Based on the information available, the clinic is geared toward urgent and critical presentations, with reviews describing rapid triage and inpatient nursing care (including overnight/multi-day admission). Concrete examples owners mention include: - Prompt assessment in the night (one owner said they were seen “very promptly at 1am”). - Hospital-style care when needed: dogs admitted overnight or for “a few days” with treatment started straight away, and nursing support credited with recovery. - Emergency procedures such as wound stapling plus medication on the same visit. - End-of-life support: one family said staff were “honest and truthful” and helped prepare them when their dog couldn’t be helped with stage 4 renal disease. At the same time, a minority of recent reviews strongly criticise the pricing communication and process of access, describing costs as unclear and the system as focused on follow-up visits.

The Shreen Veterinary Group
Gillingham
Our Score (77/100)
The Shreen Veterinary Group offers routine pet healthcare (consultations, vaccinations, neutering, microchipping, dental care and nail clipping) plus emergency care, and lists support for a range of small pets including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters. The website also references a Pet Health Club® proactive healthcare plan, and one owner specifically mentions being “on a pet plan” for included treatments. Across the latest reviews, owners most often describe vets who take time to listen and explain options clearly (including “sensible transparent advice”), with one detailed account crediting vet Sophie with finding a medication that significantly improved an older cat’s episodes and day-to-day comfort. A minority of recent reviews raise concerns about practical support and handling: one owner reports no help getting through the door while juggling a pram and large dog, and that a nail clip couldn’t be completed, leaving the dog stressed and the owner advised to continue at home.

Thanet Vets Birchington is a long-running practice for many reviewers (multiple owners mention staying with the clinic for 10–15+ years).

Barrow Hill Veterinary Group Ltd is an RCVS-accredited vet centre with “state of the art facilities” and a team described on its site as experienced vets, nurses and support staff. The clinic says that, due to a shortage of veterinary surgeons, its out-of-hours emergency care and overnight inpatient care have been transferred to VetsNow (including Sundays and bank holidays). From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe: - Clear explanations and thorough consults (e.g., vets explaining what they’re doing during boosters and giving understandable long-term advice). - Decision-making that includes options and pricing, with at least one owner noting they were given treatment choices and prices without feeling pushed into more expensive options. - Handling and support for stressful situations, including end-of-life care and nurses helping with repeated nail-clip visits for cats that don’t tolerate it well. - A mixed experience depending on clinician: some report exceptionally calm, careful handling, while one review describes a rushed, unsympathetic approach with a nervous dog.
