Clinic Overview

Vets4Pets is described on its website as a locally owned practice, and one reviewer also notes it is owned by the senior vet. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and more urgent presentations, with owners describing staff acting immediately for time-critical problems (for example, a dog choking and a cat brought in after a car accident). Reviews also repeatedly mention clear explanations and plans (“a plan, and even a back up plan”), with follow-up communication during stressful waits (messages and calls with updates) and practical help such as lending a crate during recovery.

Services

From the clinic website and recent reviews, services and capabilities mentioned include

  • Emergency/urgent triage during opening hours (e.g., choking incident handled immediately; cat taken straight through for immediate treatment after being hit by a car).
  • Diagnostics and monitoring on-site: in-house laboratory work (haematology, biochemistry), ECG, blood pressure monitoring, ultrasound, and digital X‑ray (including dental X‑ray).
  • Dentistry (including dental imaging).
  • Surgery/anaesthesia: operating theatre and anaesthesia listed on the website.
  • Hospitalisation facilities: hospital ward and isolation unit; separate dog/cat wards and isolation units.
  • Preventive and routine care: vaccinations (mentioned by an owner with a kitten), microchipping, nurse clinics, weight clinic, nutritional advice, prescriptions/medication.
  • Acupuncture (listed on the website).
  • Species seen: dogs, cats, and rabbits (website).

Out-of-hours/emergency cover: the website states emergency cover is provided through Vets Now Liverpool.

Pricing

  • Out-of-hours emergency consultation fees are stated on the website as starting from £302.50 (via Vets Now Liverpool).
  • A pay-monthly plan is mentioned in reviews (“pay per month really helps”), and “Health Plans” are listed on the website, but no specific prices or inclusions are provided in the inputs.

People

Named team members mentioned in reviews

  • Mehmet (vet): described as friendly and concise; owners mention him explaining care clearly and being involved in cases needing tests and ongoing treatment.
  • Emily (vet nurse): repeatedly mentioned for ongoing support and communication—calling regularly to help coordinate transfers and checking in during recovery, and being a “massive part” of a cat’s care after a road accident.
  • Michelle (vet): mentioned in the context of end-of-life care; described as professional and kind, helping owners feel supported.
  • Sharon: mentioned for compassion and practical help with arrangements during an euthanasia visit, including support while the owner waited in their car.
  • Becky (receptionist): singled out positively in one review.
  • Clare (vet): positively mentioned in one review.

Reception experience is mixed: several reviews describe receptionists as friendly and empathic (including during repeated phone calls), while one review reports two receptionists being rude and not acknowledging them.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.6 stars from 273 reviews.

  • Fast action in urgent situations: owners describe staff being ready on arrival for choking and severe injury, taking pets straight through to start treatment.
  • Clear explanations and structured decision-making: reviewers mention being talked through results, receiving a treatment plan (and backup plan), and having procedures explained “in simple terms.”
  • Updates and follow-through: owners describe messages/calls with progress updates, and staff continuing to help even after referral/transfer to a hospital.
  • Support during end-of-life care: multiple reviews focus on euthanasia experiences, describing staff helping with arrangements and small details that mattered to the family.
  • Reception experience varies: many describe the desk team as welcoming and empathic, but at least one review reports rudeness and feeling ignored.
