Dog & Cat Vets in Cheshire

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.

Ark Veterinary Surgery is an independent practice that’s been caring for pets since 1999, offering a broad small-animal service that also includes some exotic species. The clinic is set up for both routine care (vaccinations, microchipping, parasite control, nurse clinics, six‑month health checks) and more involved cases, with in‑house diagnostics (lab work, X‑ray and ultrasound) plus surgical options including orthopaedic, soft-tissue and laparoscopic (“keyhole”) surgery.

In the latest reviews available to us, owners describe detailed, unhurried support during end‑of‑life appointments (talking them through each step and not rushing goodbyes), and ongoing management of complex conditions (one dog’s chemotherapy). There are also mixed experiences around puppy microchipping/vaccination: one reviewer reports feeling rushed, limited aftercare guidance unless they asked, and incorrect microchip registration details.

Ashcroft Veterinary Surgery is a small-animal practice for cats, dogs and several small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters).

It’s also described as a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe

• •being fitted in for repeat/same-day appointments when a pet’s condition changed
• •in-clinic treatment such as IV fluids/medication via a cannula (“dripped up”) and onward hospitalisation when needed
• •practical handling of nervous pets (e.g., being allowed to wait outside and called in when ready)

One reviewer also strongly objects to the cost of care, describing charges as “extortionate,” which sits alongside otherwise very positive experiences of the clinical care and communication.

Cheshire Pet Medical Centre (Sandbach) Winterley is a multi-branch practice (Winterley and Elworth) with a dedicated cat clinic opened in 2021, and on-site facilities including a computed tomography (CT) scanner. Reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations of treatment plans and costs, plus follow-up after out-of-hours care (one owner says the team contacted them quickly after receiving details from the out-of-hours vet to take over treatment). A minority of feedback raises concerns about upselling: one recent reviewer felt a costly test and discussions about the practice’s health club, insurance and products were pushed during a first visit.

Chester Vets4Pets is a Vets for Pets practice described on its site as locally owned, with on-site diagnostics (in‑house lab, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and a full-service pharmacy. Reviews consistently describe fast action on urgent cases and strong follow-up communication—for example, same-day emergency surgery for a cat with pyometra, and post‑procedure check-in calls around a dog’s lump removal. Owners also mention practical comfort details like a separate cat waiting room, and that when the practice is closed they were directed to an out‑of‑hours referral hospital for emergency treatment.

Reviews repeatedly highlight thorough explanations of options and outcomes, plus practical support around the treatment process (including dealing with pet insurance on an owner’s behalf). One recurring negative note is an out‑of‑hours phone experience described as slow and not appropriately handled at first, followed by a second call answered promptly and empathetically.

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).

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe it as a practice they lean on for both planned care and serious, time-sensitive problems—examples include colic, laminitis, and investigations for performance-related breathing noise (“rattle” while being worked). Several reviews describe structured follow-through: referral coordination (including staying in contact with a referral hospital and keeping the owner updated) and post-treatment check-ins. Multiple owners also mention thoughtful end-of-life support, including a condolence card and “forget me not” seeds after a pony was lost to colic.

In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention being seen promptly when needed, a clinic that feels “clean” and “not over crowded”, and pets receiving surgical care (including one dog reported to have had two operations over three years).

One recent review conflicts with this tone, alleging a “revenue focus,” repeated recommendations for dental work, and being asked to book (and pay for) a separate consultation to treat an ear infection noticed during a booster appointment.

Littlecroft Vets is a small-animal practice established in 1987, and its website also highlights care for exotic pets (including reptiles, birds, amphibians, rodents and rabbits) with investigations and surgery for exotics.

Several owners describe a clean, airy waiting area and staff who help nervous animals stay calm during vaccines (including a nervous older dog reportedly kept relaxed through a kennel cough jab).

From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention a calm, pet-friendly experience (including a separate cat waiting area) and vets taking time to explain without rushing.

Bollington Vets Ltd is described on its website as a family-owned independent small-animal practice operating from a purpose-built, modern clinic.

Across the latest reviews, people repeatedly describe detailed explanations of treatment and options, and several reviews focus on end-of-life support—one owner says the team arranged things so they were the only ones there, creating a quieter euthanasia appointment.
