Skylark Vets Ltd – Vets in Edenbridge
Clinic Overview
Skylark Vets Ltd describes itself as an independent, first‑opinion practice focused on exotic, avian and small animals, with options for in‑clinic and mobile care. Reviews strongly reinforce that niche: owners repeatedly mention treatment for birds and reptiles that other vets wouldn’t take on (including chickens, parrots, an African grey, a gecko and bearded dragons). Concrete touches mentioned in reviews include beak trimming, sedated full health checks, and end‑of‑life care (one owner describes deciding together to euthanise a chicken, later receiving a sympathy card and wild garden seeds). One reviewer also comments that after multiple tests and medication for a very unwell parrot, the final bill was much less than expected (no amounts given).

Charlotte looked after my two beardies who sadly passed away a few years ago. We moved out of the area and adopted another beardie. I didn't hesitate to register this one with Skylark even though we were half an hour away because the service and compassion of everyone there is beyond excellent.

The amazing Charlotte. What more can I say but the whole team and Charlotte are beyond caring. She really knows what she’s talking about. Ignore the hater reviews, she really is one of a kind!

I truely recommend skylark (Charlotte and her lovely team), for any one who seeks a professional, extra caring and understanding vet. Have been going to skylark for a year or so now with my old chickens who slowly became poorly for one reason or another. Most vets won't treat chickens. One even told me they only know chicken to be in a soup. Not what you want to hear when your hens mean something to you. Recently had to take my last remaining girl to skylark for breathing issues. Charlotte examined her and between us we decided the best thing was to put her to sleep. Charlotte was so kind and caring for both my chicken (Dorris) and for my own feelings. I stayed in there while Dorris slowly drifted off to chicken heaven. I later received a sympathy card and wild garden seeds which I thought was a lovely touch. Honestly a great vets and set up especially if you have weird and wonderful pets or are just a little weird and maybe woundeful like me 😂 Pictured below are the old girls wanting to come inside. And the new crew who no doubt one day will fancy a jolly to skylark 💕

Our first time at Skylark Vets, excellent friendly service the whole team were great and made you feel very at ease. Our pet seemed to have a second lease of life after his full health check the first time ever after being sedated. Thank you Charlotte and the Team for your assistance. Janis & Nigel Battrick

Brought my parrot in after she took a really bad turn,was honestly expecting her not to make to end of day. Charlotte was absolutely amazing,bird is hopefully now on her way to a full recovery. Been to other vets and Skylark is without doubt the best I have ever been to,will never go anywhere else. With previous prices with other vets I was expecting with the amount of test done and medication given a huge bill,was pleasantly surprised with the final amount,was expecting at least 75% more than what I paid. Absolutely blown away with all staff i had an interaction with,cannot recommend enough.

Brilliant exotic pet vets. They removed a tumor from my rat when my normal vet had no idea how to treat a rat. Lovely staff who take great care of the patients
