The Swanscombe Veterinary Surgery
Swanscombe
The Swanscombe Veterinary Surgery is an RCVS certified Small Animal Practice and is connected to the Meopham RCVS certified Veterinary Hospital. Based on the clinic’s own service list, it’s set up for both routine care (consultations, vaccinations, microchipping, nurse clinics) and referral-style diagnostics/treatments (endoscopy, CT scanning, radiography/ultrasound, orthopaedic surgery, physiotherapy/hydrotherapy, laser therapy, acupuncture). The website states that a 24-hour emergency service is available 365 days a year at the Meopham Hospital. From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention long-term registration (10–13+ years), being able to book appointments easily and choose a vet, and detailed support around procedures—one owner describes a cat spay and the team helping to ease worries post-op while answering questions for first-time cat owners.

Hawkinge Veterinary Surgery
Hawkinge
Hawkinge Veterinary Surgery is an independently owned, purpose-built small-animal clinic. Based on its own service list, it’s set up for routine care plus more complex surgical work (including orthopaedic, abdominal, and chest surgery) and has on-site X‑ray. The clinic also states it has a separate waiting area for cats, rabbits, and smaller pets, alongside space for dogs, and it is a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest written reviews available to us, owners most often describe thorough consultations where the vet listens and explains, and several mention costs feeling reasonable compared with other practices, though one recent review is 1 star without written detail, so the reason for dissatisfaction isn’t clear from the information provided.

Aylesham Veterinary Clinic is a satellite branch of White Mill Veterinary Centre (the trading name of Sandwich Veterinary Centre Ltd). Based on the clinic website, it’s set up to provide routine and ongoing veterinary care (diagnostic, medical, surgical and after-care), and to see a wide range of species—from dogs and cats through to small furries, reptiles, caged birds, farm animals and equine. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention quick access to appointments (including being seen within two hours), practical handling for difficult-to-manage pets (for example, claw trimming for a “bad tempered” older cat), and support during end-of-life situations.

Barrow Hill Veterinary Centre is a general small-animal practice (based on reviews mentioning dogs and a hamster), offering routine health checks and problem-focused consultations. Recent reviewers frequently describe thorough examinations where staff listen carefully to owners’ explanations (including a veterinary nurse-led check) and discuss treatment options such as medications. Experiences are not uniform, though: alongside multiple reports of friendly, welcoming reception staff, one reviewer describes a very negative interaction involving rudeness, swearing, and threats to report an owner. Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - 6‑monthly health checks with a veterinary nurse, described as detailed rather than “tick box”. - Consultations for lameness, with pain‑relief medication prescribed and follow-up visits planned. - A hamster consultation where the vet was described as helpful despite not being an “exotic pet vet”.

Parkvets Veterinary Clinic is part of the Parkvets group (the website references eight practices) and is accredited by the RCVS, with Cat Friendly Practice status. It offers care for dogs, cats, rabbits and exotics, and states it provides a 24-hour emergency service. Reviews most often describe thorough, explained examinations (“explained all the checks she was doing”), practical support for specific issues (medication that “helped tremendously” during fireworks), and ongoing case persistence (one owner says “Kate and her team never gave up and came up with a number of options” when their pet was very unwell). The clinic also promotes a Pet Health Club plan to spread routine-care costs via Direct Debit and offers Klarna/CarefreeCredit as payment options.

Cinque Ports Veterinary Group
Hawkhurst
Cinque Ports Veterinary Group offers routine vet appointments and has a 24/7 emergency service provided by Vets Now at Cinque Ports Veterinary Hospital (as stated on its website). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews are mostly positive about vets taking time with anxious dogs and explaining options, but there are also complaints about a refused same-day appointment for a very unwell dog and a more “transactional” feel (including frequent reminder texts and consultations required for repeat prescriptions). Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - Clear discussion of treatment options and decision-making (e.g., Marco being “very open with treatment options”). - Handling of nervous/reactive dogs with patience (nervous rescue dog; chow chow that “doesn’t like anyone” but tolerated the vet). - Consultation required for repeat prescriptions (example given: ear drops). - Frequent text reminders to book boosters/appointments (raised as a negative by one reviewer). (Ownership group/independent status isn’t stated in the provided information.)

Cinque Ports Veterinary Group Ltd’s website emphasises preventative care (including a “Pet Health for Life Plan”) and states that out-of-hours emergencies are covered 24/7/365 by Vets Now at the Cinque Ports Veterinary Hospital. In the latest reviews available to us, multiple owners describe a shift toward higher costs after a “takeover,” with some explicitly linking the wider group to Linnaeus and Mars Petcare UK (the clinic website summary provided to us does not mention ownership). Concrete examples raised in reviews include: - A quoted cat dental pathway split into an “investigation” stage and a later dental procedure, with the total stated as £1,500. - A reported charge of £210 for euthanasia of a rabbit. - A complaint that same-day appointments were charged as an “emergency appointment” (even when within normal hours), and that additional tests were being pushed.
