The Swanscombe Veterinary Surgery

The Swanscombe Veterinary Surgery is an RCVS certified Small Animal Practice and is connected to the Meopham RCVS certified Veterinary Hospital. Based on the clinic’s own service list, it’s set up for both routine care (consultations, vaccinations, microchipping, nurse clinics) and referral-style diagnostics/treatments (endoscopy, CT scanning, radiography/ultrasound, orthopaedic surgery, physiotherapy/hydrotherapy, laser therapy, acupuncture). The website states that a 24-hour emergency service is available 365 days a year at the Meopham Hospital.

From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention long-term registration (10–13+ years), being able to book appointments easily and choose a vet, and detailed support around procedures—one owner describes a cat spay and the team helping to ease worries post-op while answering questions for first-time cat owners.
