Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Isabelle Vets L’Islet is part of Isabelle Vets, a long-established veterinary practice (established in 1919) that operates more than one surgery and describes itself as providing a “full range of veterinary services.” The website highlights emergency appointments, and reviews include an example of a dog being fitted in on a busy Saturday for treatment of a cut that “couldn’t wait.” Recent feedback is mixed on access: one owner reports long waits for appointments at this surgery and being redirected to the other branch, while other reviews describe welcoming service and gentle handling of timid pets.

Services

  • Emergency appointments (stated on the website).
  • Urgent, same-day treatment for wounds: a reviewer describes being slotted in between appointments for treatment of a dog’s cut on a busy Saturday.
  • General pet care advice topics on the website, including
  • Dogs: vaccinations, neutering, microchipping, dental care, parasite control (fleas/ticks/worms), first aid, anaesthetics, pet travel scheme information.
  • Cats: dental care, worming, flea control, first aid, pet travel scheme information, common illness topics (e.g., vomiting/diarrhoea mentioned as advice pages).
  • Rabbits: neutering, dental disease, myxomatosis, fly strike, viral haemorrhagic disease (as advice topics).
  • Horses: equine influenza vaccination, laminitis, wounds, worm control (as advice topics).
  • The website also references CT scanner and hydrotherapy teams (listed in site navigation), but no detail is provided about availability at this specific surgery.

People

  • Reviews repeatedly refer to vets and staff (no individual names given).
  • Handling style noted in reviews: one owner with a very timid cat says the vet was “very gentle and accommodating.”
  • Front-of-house experience in reviews: owners mention a welcoming atmosphere and staff who chat to pets as they come in.
