Clinic Overview

Companion Care (Crayford) Ltd operates under the Companion Care brand and is set up as a fairly well-equipped general practice, with an in-house lab and imaging (including ultrasound and digital X-ray) plus an operating theatre and hospital ward facilities. Out-of-hours emergency care is provided by Vets Now.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe

  • Same-day urgent help (one cat was seen immediately after ingesting a potentially toxic supplement, without an appointment).
  • Surgical and post-op follow-up care (a dog with a severe leg injury was stabilised, then had surgery a couple of hours later, followed by regular check-ups during recovery).
  • End-of-life support (owners mention being given time to say goodbye, and one review notes a sympathy card and wildflower seeds after a pet’s death).

There are also a small number of reviews describing the opposite experience—complaints about lack of empathy and poor customer service/complaint handling, including an allegation of a receptionist being rude and repeated hang-ups.

Reviews

4.8 stars from 344 reviews.

  • Urgent cases handled quickly: a walk-in cat toxic-ingestion concern was seen straight away and assessed without further treatment being needed.
  • Serious injury care with follow-up: a dog with a severed tendon was stabilised, operated on within hours, and then brought back for regular check-ups during recovery.
  • End-of-life care: multiple reviews describe gentle euthanasia appointments, being given time to say goodbye, and thoughtful aftercare (including a condolence card and wildflower seeds in one case).
  • Service experience is mixed: alongside many positive comments about staff, there are also complaints describing lack of empathy, and one detailed account alleging rude reception behaviour and an unsatisfactory complaint response.
