Clinic Overview

Plunketts - Ramsgate Veterinary Surgery is a small-animal practice established in the early 1980s, and it has recently moved into a larger, modern, purpose-built site. The practice appears to operate under CVS (the practice email uses the cvsvets.com domain). It’s set up for routine care through to surgery, including in-house diagnostics (lab work, X‑ray, ultrasound) and a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery referral service.

From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly describe clear communication and follow-up after operations, plus flexibility for last‑minute urgent appointments. Several reviews mention a separate cats/dogs reception setup, and one owner describes joining a Pet Club but not receiving a promised “welcome pack.” A single negative review reports being offered euthanasia for a budgie over the phone without an in-person examination (the practice’s listed species focus is small mammals, not birds).
