Warren House Veterinary Group – High Halstow Surgery is part of the Warren House Veterinary Group (a group of four small-animal clinics, established in 1982). It treats dogs, cats and rabbits. Recent reviews describe straightforward preventative visits (puppy first vaccinations) as well as ongoing care for an older dog with repeat problems, with multiple owners mentioning staff taking time to explain next steps and home care. Pricing transparency is a mixed point: one reviewer alleges being charged two consultation fees (£57.50 each) across two visits for the same ear infection and a marked-up medicine cost, while another reviewer says costs were explained in advance.

Medway City Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice established in 1988, with on-site imaging (X‑ray and ultrasound) and an in-house lab, plus RCVS General Practice status and Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver) accreditation. The clinic appears set up for both routine care (vaccinations, parasite control, nurse clinics) and a wider range of medical/surgical work, including soft-tissue surgery and referral services (cardiology, dermatology, internal medicine). From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: some owners describe urgent same-day help without calling ahead and strong post-op aftercare (including a puppy being settled with reception staff after an operation), while others report serious concerns about a vet being “vague” or not examining/testing adequately, and one mentions difficulty pre-booking appointments.
