Featured Clinic Overview
Knutsford Veterinary Surgery is led by Dr Paul Adams (BVetMed, GPCert(Ophthal), MRCVS), with reviewers repeatedly seeking it out for specialist input—particularly eye problems (“Paul is an eye specialist”) and dermatology-style workups for persistent skin allergies. Recent reviews describe detailed written follow-up after appointments (including follow-up emails and prompt written treatment plans), and a stepwise, explained approach to problems (for example: antibiotics and a swab test before eventual cyst removal). The clinic is also described as efficient and punctual, and one reviewer notes a bereavement “candle” used in the waiting room to signal quiet respect when a pet has died.

Pool Farm Veterinary Surgery is a small animal and equine practice (dogs, cats and horses are all mentioned). Reviews suggest it’s set up for ongoing, long-term care as well as day-to-day problems: owners describe being able to get appointments “quickly” and being “fit… in” at short notice, and one long-standing equine client chose the practice for a new puppy based on 15 years of horse care from named vets (Sebastian and Charlotte). Cost discussions come up in reviews too—some owners say prices aren’t “sky high” and that costs are explained, while one reviewer reports an unpleasant dispute about returning unopened medication after a pet died.

Village Vets Childer Thornton is a small-animal practice that also acts as a veterinary nurse training facility, and it advertises emergency veterinary services (the inputs don’t specify exact out-of-hours arrangements). Recent reviews repeatedly highlight support for anxious dogs—owners describe pets being greeted with “strokes and biscuits,” and staff staying calm about stress-related accidents in the waiting area. People also mention being able to get same-day appointments and having treatment explained patiently, though one reviewer reports a serious dispute about an insurance claim not being processed after an admin fee was paid.
