Vets in Cheshire | England Veterinary Directory

Community Pet Clinic’s website and the latest reviews describe a specialist-led veterinary referral hospital (Northwest Veterinary Specialists) rather than a routine first-opinion clinic. It’s set up for complex diagnostics and specialist procedures, with on-site MRI, dedicated diagnostic imaging, operating theatres and recovery areas, and it states it provides care 365 days a year. In reviews, owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of tests and procedures, being kept updated while pets are in hospital (including phone calls “when they said they would” and even photos during a stay), and support during stressful handovers (including reception staff offering a hug and a hot drink). A smaller but recurring concern is admin/follow-up delays for post-op check-ups or written reports.

Westbrook Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent, locally owned and managed practice that opened in 2022. The website highlights a plan-style offering built around unlimited consultations, 24/7 advice via an app, and routine preventative care (vaccines, parasite control, microchipping), with a stated 20% discount on neutering. From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention appointments that don’t feel rushed, staff being thorough with questions about ongoing care, and support around big moments such as spaying and end-of-life euthanasia (including staff checking in on distressed family members in the waiting area). Several reviews also describe vets handling nervous or challenging dogs calmly.

Riverside Vets describes itself as a family-owned veterinary practice (not part of a corporate group). The clinic appears set up for routine care and procedures for cats and dogs, with an emphasis (from both the site and reviews) on a calm environment and clear, upfront discussions about options and costs. Concrete details owners mention include: - Separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, which multiple reviewers say helps anxious pets settle. - Same-day check-ups being available (mentioned by one member). - Vets talking through alternatives instead of pushing straight to surgery (one owner cites being offered a “sperm killing bar” option rather than removing testicles). - Owners being kept informed during waits and during a pet’s procedure (including updates without needing to chase).

Sandymoor Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent, locally owned practice that opened in 2022. Based on its website and recent reviews, it appears set up for everyday preventative care (vaccinations, parasite prevention, microchipping) as well as common procedures and urgent same-day care: reviewers mention a spay with aftercare, a dog kept in for the morning on an IV drip with hourly update calls, and a Shar Pei puppy having eyes checked and tacked. The website also highlights unlimited consultations and 24/7 vet advice via an app.

Victoria Park Vets describes itself as a small, family-run practice led by husband-and-wife vets Archie and Sarah, and says it makes decisions independently (not based on corporate budgets). The clinic appears set up for both everyday care and more complex work, with on-site diagnostic equipment (digital X‑ray including dental imaging, ultrasound, and in-house laboratory machines) plus a dedicated anaesthesia and surgical suite and separate dog/cat wards and waiting areas. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention fast access for urgent problems (including emergency surgery “straight away”) and practical, cost-aware decision-making (for example, resolving an issue via a phone call and prescription rather than requiring an appointment). End-of-life support is also specifically described, including an at-home euthanasia option.
