Best Vets in Cambridge – Complete Local Guide

Cambridge Bar Hill VetsforPets is a Vets4Pets-branded practice that the website describes as locally owned, with a modern, well-equipped setup (including an in-house lab, imaging, and separate dog/cat wards). Reviews most often describe thorough consultations and fast admin support (including a “message service” that gets replies quickly), alongside specific hands-on care such as removing a grass seed from a puncture wound and then prescribing anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatment. Pricing feedback is mixed: one recent reviewer felt the initial consultation was “good” value but cited £300+ for blood tests and £90 for blood pressure checks. The practice is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Clarendon Street Veterinary Surgery is described by reviewers as an independent practice. It appears set up for both urgent, same-day problems and planned procedures: owners mention being seen “straight away” for emergencies, and pets being booked quickly for surgery (including a broken tooth and tumour removal). Concrete details owners repeatedly describe include: - Surgery with proactive follow-up: one owner of a senior dog described quick access to surgery, updates during the day, then multiple bandage changes and post-op checks, with some follow-ups said to be included in the operation cost or free. - Handling urgent cases promptly: examples include a paw-pad slice and an emergency visit for a dog with a grass seed lodged deep in the nose causing sneezing and bleeding. - Clear cost communication: one review specifically mentions transparency regarding cost during treatment. - Out-of-hours cover: the clinic website states that out-of-hours calls are handled by Vets24.

The Queen's Veterinary School Small Animal Hospital is part of the University of Cambridge’s Department of Veterinary Medicine. Recent reviews describe it as a referral-style hospital set up for complex cases and specialist work, with owners mentioning BOAS surgery (including clinical-study involvement), cardiology diagnostics, and major soft-tissue surgery. Several reviewers highlight detailed, step-by-step updates (including multiple phone calls in a day), transparent costs, and follow-up contact after appointments.

Medivet Impington is part of the Medivet group (a network of veterinary practices and 24-hour centres). The clinic offers routine appointments as well as access to around-the-clock emergency care via one of Medivet’s 24-hour centres, with the website stating a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 (7pm–9am). From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: pets being seen quickly when unwell (including an emergency walk-in cat), staff taking steps to reduce stress for reactive dogs (being brought in via a back door), and vets supporting longer-term conditions (one owner mentions epilepsy management). One review also describes a case where the clinic did not charge after someone brought in a neighbour’s unwell cat out of concern.

Belgrave House Veterinary Surgery’s ownership/group isn’t stated in the provided information. The clinic presents itself as a general practice with surgical capability, home-visit care, and a stated 24-hour emergency service, covering both pets and farm/livestock animals. In recent reviews, owners most often describe thorough problem-solving (including seeking lab input and coming back with a plan) and supportive follow-up during serious illness and end-of-life situations. One detailed account credits the team with identifying and surgically treating a suspected pyometra after months of symptoms being attributed to age elsewhere.
