Animed Veterinary Centre – Vets in Whitstable
Clinic Overview
Animed Veterinary Centre is an RCVS-accredited general practice (established in the 1950s) focused on small animals, with facilities for in-house lab work plus imaging (X‑ray and ultrasound). The website also lists referral services in cardiology and several surgical areas, including orthopaedic, soft tissue, and keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often point to strong communication during ongoing treatment (updates “every step of the way” and being given options), and the team being willing to see less typical pets (a praying mantis is specifically mentioned).

What a lovely veterinary centre. I am not registered with them but am struggling to get hold of a special type of food that my cat needs so have been calling around different vets to see if any are in stock. Animed called me back (I left a voicemail) to let me know that they didn't have any in stock, but that they had found the best number for me to ring to ask for support from the manufacturer. This was really lovely of them and if I was slightly closer or if my vet ever shuts I will be bringing my cats here.

I have been going to Animed for over 20 years with various pets, dogs, cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs. Sadly our last visit was to say goodbye to our beautiful precious 16yr old dog Poppy. Whitstable branch were incredibly supportive and sensitive in dealing with me and my daughters. We stroked, cuddled and told Poppy we loved her as she slipped away. I cannot thank them enough for all the years of excellent service and kindness for my poorly pets.
