Best Vets in Faversham – Complete Local Guide

Swale Barn Vets is a veterinary practice that’s listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews repeatedly mention surgical and medical care ranging from laparoscopic spays to urgent internal-medicine problems, with specific comments about fast turnaround on diagnostics (blood tests “in a couple of hours”) and attentive peri- and post-operative support. Owners also mention being seen “right away” for an unwell cat, and one reviewer highlights access to CT imaging through external imaging providers.

Medivet Faversham is part of the Medivet group (corporate). The clinic is set up for routine preventive care as well as more involved diagnostics and surgery, including minimally invasive “keyhole” procedures, with an in-house laboratory and imaging (X‑rays/ultrasound) listed on its site. It also states it holds the ISFM Silver Standard Cat‑Friendly Clinic Award and is a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of treatment and costs, good timekeeping, and calm handling of nervous pets. One review describes the team keeping the practice open past closing to allow an emergency euthanasia, with staff noted for compassionate support.

Silver Gate Vets focuses on at-home euthanasia for companion animals, with arrangements for aftercare/cremation mentioned by both the website and reviewers. Recent reviews repeatedly describe fast, detailed communication about price and what the visit involves (including via WhatsApp/text), vets explaining each step and answering questions, and a calm, unhurried procedure at home (owners mention the vet staying with them and not rushing). Several reviewers also note Silver Gate organised collection and cremation through named crematorium partners, so families “didn’t have to worry about anything” in the immediate aftermath.

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.

Lady Dane Vets LLP is an RCVS-accredited veterinary practice that offers a Pet Health Club® Plus plan (with consultations included) and is listed as providing emergency veterinary services and functioning as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe routine appointments (including cat consults) and travel paperwork (a travel health certificate appointment was mentioned). Several owners specifically mention vet advice and handling: one client highlighted “holistic” options offered before medication, and another said their “not the best behaved” cats were handled confidently. Recent negatives focus on appointment disruption (pre-booked slots delayed by emergency cases) and frustration with travel certificate paperwork timing, alongside repeated complaints about high costs.
