Best Rated Veterinary Clinics in Tenterden, Kent
Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews

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.
