Dog & Cat Vets in Kent

Wellpets Vets Kent offers diagnostic services and nurse clinics, and the website mentions an out-of-hours service. Reviews describe both routine and urgent care: one owner says their dog was taken in “as an emergency with no hesitation,” and another reports calling at 9 and getting an appointment at 11:15 the same day. The practice also promotes a Pet Health Club®/payment plan, with one reviewer saying the plan “makes life so much easier.” Feedback is mixed overall: several owners describe supportive care during end-of-life visits, while one reviewer alleges serious problems following a staff change, including a “butchered” neutering surgery and poor handling of an elderly cat’s final weeks.

Warren House Veterinary Group – High Halstow Surgery is part of the Warren House Veterinary Group (a group of four small-animal clinics, established in 1982). It treats dogs, cats and rabbits. Recent reviews describe straightforward preventative visits (puppy first vaccinations) as well as ongoing care for an older dog with repeat problems, with multiple owners mentioning staff taking time to explain next steps and home care. Pricing transparency is a mixed point: one reviewer alleges being charged two consultation fees (£57.50 each) across two visits for the same ear infection and a marked-up medicine cost, while another reviewer says costs were explained in advance.

RSPCA Medway West Branch is part of the RSPCA charity rather than a corporate veterinary group. Based on the information available, it appears set up primarily for animal welfare support and signposting—rather than a typical full-service vet practice—with reviews describing: a pet food bank, phone guidance on rehoming, and help finding a route to “affordable vet” support for a rescue cat. Several reviewers mention staff taking time to talk through situations and put people “in touch with the right people,” while one older review reports a sharply different experience (felt rushed and spoken to without empathy when asking about blood tests for puppies).

Mark Nelson Vets is an independent small-animal practice established in 1982 by Mark Nelson and his father, Michael. The practice is set up for everyday primary-care work (vaccinations, health checks, long-term condition monitoring) with in-house diagnostics including x‑ray, ultrasound, blood pressure monitoring, and an in-house lab, plus modern anaesthetic equipment (including electrically warmed surgery tables). From the latest reviews, owners most often describe a thorough, “keep-looking-until-the-cause-is-found” approach and vets who take time to explain options—alongside a small number of comments about front-desk manner being a problem. Specific examples mentioned include identifying dental disease that led to multiple tooth removals, diagnosing flea-bite allergy behind fur loss, and doing an older dog’s nail trim during a vaccination visit rather than requiring a separate nurse appointment. One reviewer also describes planning a follow-up appointment with a named locum vet.

Medivet Whitfield - Bewsbury Cross Veterinary Clinic is part of the Medivet group. It offers 24-hour emergency care, with an overnight consultation fee of £130 for consults between 7pm and 9am (per the clinic website). Recent reviews most often mention kind, helpful staff (including a vet and veterinary nurse described as “lovely”), but there’s also a clear complaint about limited availability for routine appointments (one owner reports only two pre-bookable slots over nearly three weeks and being advised to ring on clinic days for an “emergency appointment”).

Easipetcare is part of the easipetcare group and treats cats and dogs. Based on its own service list, it’s set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, parasite control), common procedures such as neutering and dental work, and ongoing support for older pets and weight management. Reviews describe both routine visits (health checks and vaccinations) and urgent same-day care (an “in hours emergency appointment” after a dog attack), with some owners praising clear explanations of “treatments and alternatives.” However, a minority of recent reviews report concerns about perceived upselling and poor empathy in a serious case, so experiences appear mixed depending on the clinician and situation.

Warren House Veterinary Group – Rochester Surgery is part of the Warren House Veterinary Group, a group of four small‑animal practices that says it has been treating pets since 1982. The website indicates they see cats, dogs and rabbits. Recent reviews are mixed: several long‑term clients describe using the practice “for years” and mention an empathetic vet and an “excellent” level of cleanliness, while multiple 1‑star reviews describe concerns about waiting past appointment times, medication availability, and being charged for items the owner says they didn’t consent to.

Harrietsham Veterinary Clinic is a veterinary surgery offering medicine, surgery and orthopaedics, and it lists care for dogs, cats and a range of smaller/exotic pets (including ferrets and parrots). The website advertises a “modern, well-equipped” practice and a specific microchipping offer (£9.99 for kittens/puppies under 6 months). From the latest reviews available to us, owners often mention being seen quickly for urgent issues (including an early-morning emergency that was seen within about 30 minutes, and same-day appointments). Reviews also point to a notable interest in ferret care (one reviewer specifically recommends “Rachel” for ferrets). Feedback is mixed on cost and clinical decision-making: some praise the practice for being upfront/reasonable about costs, while others describe a quoted X‑ray price rising substantially on the day and feeling pushed towards a monthly subscription.

Animed Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice established in the 1950s and listed as an RCVS General Practice. The clinic’s own information describes a broad in-house service range (including surgery, dentistry, diagnostics/imaging, and care for some exotic species), with out-of-hours cover provided by MiNightVet Canterbury. From the latest written reviews available to us, owners most often describe a clean, tidy premises, staff who answer questions clearly, and supportive handling of difficult situations—one client specifically mentions staff sending a sympathy card after euthanasia. A minority view is also present: one recent review says “Would not recommend” without further detail.

Gillingham Kent Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group; the practice is described on the Vets4Pets site as “locally owned.” It is also listed in the clinic data as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Based on the latest reviews available to us, the practice appears set up for both routine consultations and urgent cases: one owner describes calling ahead after their dog was hit by a car and the team being ready to perform emergency surgery on arrival. Other owners describe clear explanations and treatment plans (for example, a cat with “big open sores” receiving treatment that the owner says is working) and vets giving options for an animal’s care, with follow-ups showing good recovery. However, multiple reviewers report serious concerns about being given untrue information, policy handling, and (in one case) an allegation that a vet did not listen during an emergency presentation for a young puppy.
