Barrow Hill Veterinary Centre is an RCVS Accredited small-animal practice that describes having state-of-the-art facilities. It operates as part of a multi-branch group (reviews mention being able to use an alternative site), and the clinic states that out-of-hours emergency care is transferred to VetsNow. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe long-term support for ongoing/complex conditions (one owner thanks the team for helping maintain a dog’s quality of life over the final two years), and clear explanations during consults (a vet named Jacob is praised for detailed explanations). There’s also a clear split in experiences around front-desk interactions and logistics: some praise helpful reception staff, while others report issues such as arriving to find medication unavailable and feeling challenged over invoicing arrangements.
