Clinic Overview

Medway Park Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe support with end‑of‑life euthanasia (“calm and peaceful”), ongoing management of complex chronic conditions in cats (diabetes with later concerns about heart and kidney issues), and even help for an injured pigeon that the team said they would take on to a rescue centre for rehabilitation. Feedback on costs is mixed: some owners accept that “pet care costs what it costs,” while others report price changes and specific concerns about the cost and explanation of routine services.

Services

  • Veterinary nurse training facility (explicitly stated in the clinic data).
  • Euthanasia / end-of-life care (owner describes respectful handling and a calm, peaceful process during a sudden health downturn).
  • Management of long-term medical conditions in cats, including diabetes, with monitoring/assessment where there were concerns about heart and kidney issues (as described by an owner).
  • Nail/claw clipping (explicitly reviewed, including billed cost).
  • Support for injured wildlife: took in an injured pigeon and, per the review, planned to transfer it to a rescue centre for assessment and rehabilitation.

Pricing

  • Claw clipping: one owner reports being charged £24.75 + £4.95 VAT (and says they had “previously paid £15” for the same procedure). The reviewer also notes they had to request an itemised bill to understand the charge.

People

  • Sandra, Jaya, Martina, Trish, Cindy (roles not stated): named by one owner as particularly helpful during a prolonged period managing a cat’s diabetes and later health concerns, especially for an owner who wanted “honest advice” and a lot of reassurance.
  • Reception team and vets are repeatedly mentioned together: examples include a “very helpful, very informative” receptionist, and a vet described as “kind, gentle and understanding.”

Reviews

Google rating: 4.3 stars from 268 reviews. “”

  • Kind handling of difficult moments: an owner thanked the team for treating their dog with “respect” and helping make euthanasia “calm and peaceful.”
  • Chronic-condition support and clear advice: one owner describes ongoing support for a cat with diabetes and additional suspected heart/kidney problems, valuing honest guidance and reassurance.
  • Help beyond typical pet appointments: a reviewer says the practice accepted an injured pigeon when others wouldn’t, and the vet offered to take it to a rescue centre.
  • Communication praised: “excellent communication” and staff being “helpful” and “informative” come up directly.
  • Cost and billing concerns also appear: one reviewer alleges prices keep changing and disputes over payment/vouchers; another was unhappy with the claw-clipping charge and said they needed to request an itemised bill.
