Medivet West Kingsdown

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.
