Best Vets in Kent

Borden Lane Veterinary Surgery appears to be independently owned: the website message is signed by Helle Vendelbo (Veterinary Surgeon/Proprietor). Based on the site and recent reviews, the practice seems set up for routine preventive care and nurse-led clinics, as well as common surgical and diagnostic work-ups (owners mention skin growth removal with biopsy and dental work done under the same anaesthetic). Practical policies and touchpoints mentioned include a Brucella policy, online booking, a price list, and 0% finance for surgical procedures.

Sittivets is a veterinary practice that states it is a Veterinary Nurse Training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Based on client reports, it handles a mix of routine care and urgent problems, including spays, nail clips, first puppy/dog check-ups, and treatment for small pets such as guinea pigs and rats. Reviews include examples of prompt same-day attention for an urgent illness (antibiotic injection and take-home medication) and staff being described as thorough during a pet’s first visit.

Manor Veterinary Clinic provides general veterinary care for cats, dogs and several small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters), with diagnostics, surgery and in-house laboratory facilities listed on its website. The clinic also states it offers emergency care, and it holds Cat Friendly Clinic and Rabbit Friendly status. Reviews consistently mention a clean, spacious waiting area (including separate zones for cats, dogs and puppies) and staff who don’t rush owners during calls or appointments.

Faversham Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent, family-run practice (not part of a corporate group) and promotes membership-style plans aimed at reducing out-of-pocket costs for routine and in-house care. The clinic lists in-house surgery, X‑rays/ultrasound, and lab tests on its website, and reviews mention routine procedures like injections/vaccinations and a spay, including one case where a dog was kept overnight for extra reassurance. Recent feedback is mostly positive about how the team handles nervous or energetic dogs, but one recent reviewer objected to being made to wait outside and not meeting the vet during vaccinations.

Medivet West Kingsdown is part of the Medivet group and is set up for routine preventative care alongside in-practice diagnostics (in-house lab, ultrasound, X‑rays) and dentistry. The clinic’s own info lists support for a wide range of species (cats, dogs, rabbits, exotics, avians and reptiles), plus nurse clinics and 15‑minute consultations. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention thorough health checks, clear explanations (vaccinations, flea/worm/tick control), and staff taking time to help anxious or reluctant dogs feel comfortable (including encouragement into the treatment room rather than forcing the issue).

Companion Care (Broadstairs) Ltd trades as Vets for Pets and is described on its website as locally owned. The practice appears set up for in-practice diagnostics and surgery, with facilities and equipment listed including an operating theatre, hospital ward, isolation unit, and in-house lab, alongside imaging such as digital X‑ray and ultrasound. Reviews include both complex/urgent care (one owner describes rapid diagnostics followed by a high-risk bowel operation the same day) and routine procedures (e.g., spay and castration).

Pennard Vets is described by reviewers as an independent practice, with a 4.8★ Google rating from 191 reviews. From the experiences shared, it seems set up for routine preventative care (annual vaccinations and health checks) as well as same-day help for urgent concerns (for example, lethargy and a paint-covered coat). Owners repeatedly mention thorough examinations with clear explanations of the treatment rationale, and some note being fitted in on the same day when they called.

Mote Park Veterinary Surgery describes itself as a private practice and part of the “Mote Park Veterinary Group.” The website highlights surgery, medicine, orthopaedics and diagnostic imaging, backed by “state of the art services and specialised equipment.” Recent reviews include owners describing being fitted in quickly for worried visits (including guinea pigs) and clear, step-by-step explanations during appointments (including gentle handling of a cat). Reviews also show a pricing/charging complaint from one owner about a £50 consultation fee for a very brief procedure and a long wait.
