Best Vets in Sevenoaks – Complete Local Guide

The Sevenoaks Veterinary Surgery is part of the Meopham Vets group, working alongside a connected veterinary hospital that provides 24-hour emergency cover year-round. The practice is set up for small animals (dogs, cats and rabbits), with both routine care and advanced diagnostics/treatments listed on its site (including CT scanning, endoscopy, and orthopaedic surgery). In the latest reviews, owners most often describe: - clear, detailed explanations of options and aftercare (including medication instructions and recheck plans) - support through end-of-life decisions (guidance around euthanasia and bereavement) - practical access to care when it matters (same-day appointment for a “poorly dog” mentioned) - a focus on treatment choices that consider cost implications, rather than “pushing” expensive options (as described by reviewers)

Pennard Vets is an independent, employee-owned practice (described as part of “the world’s largest employee-owned veterinary group”). The website says they handle their own out-of-hours work, aiming for clients to “always see a familiar face.” Recent reviews strongly focus on support for nervous animals (treats from reception, calm handling, not rushing), separate waiting areas for cats and dogs / segregated spaces, and clear explanations from vets—alongside one recent complaint about a 50-minute wait and lack of communication during that delay.

Pennard Vets Borough Green is part of the Pennard Vet Group (described in one review as employee-owned) and is set up as a small practice backed by a larger team for procedures and urgent care. The website lists a wide range of small-animal services (including in-house lab work), and owners most often mention practical, low-stress handling—especially for anxious or skittish pets—plus clear options rather than being pushed into one route. Concrete specifics owners mention include: staff giving nervous animals time to settle before examining them; nail clipping done in a way that keeps a typically sensitive greyhound calm (treats, getting down to the dog’s level); support during end-of-life situations; and help getting first vaccinations and pet-club registration sorted promptly.

Elands Veterinary Clinic has been operating since the 1980s and describes purpose-built facilities with “state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment” on its website. Services explicitly referenced include routine preventive care (vaccinations, microchipping) and dentistry, with reviewers specifically mentioning cat tooth extraction and follow-up rechecks. Clinic data also lists it as a veterinary nurse training facility. Ownership is a decision point: one reviewer says the practice “is no longer the family run practice” and has become part of VetPartners Practices, which they associate with higher fees and a change in service. Reviews overall are mostly very positive about vets/nurses and day-to-day care, but several recent 1-star reviews describe problems with front-desk/management communication and how an emergency or dental case was handled.

Medivet West Kingsdown is part of the Medivet group and is set up for routine preventative care alongside in-practice diagnostics (in-house lab, ultrasound, X‑rays) and dentistry. The clinic’s own info lists support for a wide range of species (cats, dogs, rabbits, exotics, avians and reptiles), plus nurse clinics and 15‑minute consultations. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention thorough health checks, clear explanations (vaccinations, flea/worm/tick control), and staff taking time to help anxious or reluctant dogs feel comfortable (including encouragement into the treatment room rather than forcing the issue). Out-of-hours care is stated as being provided by Medivet 24 Hour Dartford.
