Vintage Veterinary Practice describes itself as an independent clinic (not part of a named corporate group). The website highlights an in‑house laboratory and lists surgery types including BOAS and C‑sections, and recent reviews strongly echo that it’s set up for breeding/reproductive work and surgical care as well as ongoing support. Concrete examples owners mention include: - Planned C‑section support with timing and outcomes discussed (“timed everything perfectly” and both mum and puppy doing well). - Neutering/spay procedures described as going smoothly. - Overnight care for a cat after a road traffic accident, with the owner contrasting this with other vets advising euthanasia. - Follow-up and ongoing help, including “non stop help along the way” for raising pups and “exemplary follow up care” after stitches under anaesthesia.

Thanet Vets is a small-animal practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews repeatedly describe vets who explain conditions and options clearly (including a “very thorough” consult for a dog vomiting blood) and a practice culture of not pushing treatment “for the sake of it.” Owners also mention routine check-ups, swiftly getting an appointment when another clinic was closed, and supportive care through end-of-life euthanasia.

Margate PDSA Pet Clinic is part of the PDSA charity and is set up to provide free and low‑cost veterinary care for pets in need (including paid treatment at reduced cost, as described by reviewers). In recent reviews, owners mention surgical care with same‑day discharge (“operation… out the same day”), longer-term treatment for conditions like arthritis, and support through complex orthopaedic issues (cruciate ligament injuries) and end‑of‑life care. A minority of feedback raises a practical access issue: one reviewer says they were refused help due to an “out of area” rule.
