Clinic Overview

Tonbridge Veterinary Surgery appears to operate as part of the Meopham Vets group (the website references the “Meopham site” as the hospital base). The practice is set up for routine care (vaccinations, microchipping, nurse clinics) as well as more advanced diagnostics and procedures (CT scanning, endoscopy, orthopaedic surgery, laparoscopic spays).

From the latest reviews, owners most often highlight practical, day-to-day touches: staff giving advice over the phone without pushing an appointment, free socialisation visits/sessions for puppies and nervous dogs, and structured support through a pet health club/plan (including reminder texts for due treatments). The clinic also offers on-site grooming, which multiple reviewers mention alongside veterinary care.

People

  • Sophie (named in reviews): praised for hands-on, ongoing weight-loss support for a dog, including clear feeding guidance, regular check-ins, and a non-judgmental approach; the owner reports a 2kg loss and improved mobility/energy.
  • Nursing team (mentioned in reviews): owners describe nurse-led socialisation visits/sessions where a nurse spends time helping nervous dogs get comfortable in the clinic setting.
  • Front desk/reception (mentioned in reviews): one reviewer notes a small candle is lit at reception during sensitive euthanasia/“sad situation” appointments as a signal for other clients to be respectful.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 71 reviews.

  • Puppy and nervous-dog support: multiple owners mention free socialisation visits/sessions and gentle handling during vaccinations (including a puppy not reacting to a jab).
  • Practical access and advice: reviewers mention being able to get appointments when needed and receiving phone advice without being pushed into unnecessary appointments.
  • Ongoing plan-based care: pet health club/plan is described as “exceptional value” by one owner; another highlights reminder texts for routine treatments and socialisation visits included within the plan.
  • End-of-life sensitivity: one review references support “for a sad goodbye,” and another describes a reception practice (a candle) used to signal when a sensitive situation is taking place.
  • Costs: one reviewer comments that treatment prices are high (while also noting this seems common across veterinary surgeries), contrasting with others who stress the value of the pet health club/plan.
