Heronden Veterinary Practice describes itself as an independent, family-run clinic, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the clinic’s own service list and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and more involved medical/surgical cases—owners specifically mention emergency dental surgery, soft-tissue tumour surgery (soft tissue sarcoma), and investigations for lameness with follow-up visits. Concrete details owners repeatedly mention include: - Treatment plans being discussed clearly and sympathetically (including with “nervy”/first-time cat owners asking lots of questions). - Pets that are anxious at other vets being notably calmer here (one nervous cat; a dog previously distressed enough to need muzzling at another practice). - Aftercare and follow-up being part of the experience (post-surgery follow-up visits; “1st class” aftercare after tumour removal). - Mixed signals on responsiveness: one review reports no reply/registration clarity, while another praises prompt replies via PetsApp.

Cinque Ports Veterinary Group offers routine care alongside access to a separate 24/7 emergency provider (Vets Now). From the information available, the practice appears set up for ongoing preventative care (check-ups, boosters, first vaccinations) as well as procedures like dental work, with a strong emphasis in reviews on clear explanations and aftercare. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - Being able to get a last‑minute, same‑day appointment for a cat with an urgent problem. - Dental treatment carried out for a senior dog (age 13), with the team talking owners through the anaesthetic and procedure. - Aftercare described as “second to none” (owners say procedures and aftercare were explained so they knew what to expect). - Online appointment booking that allowed an owner to secure a Monday appointment over the weekend.
