Vets4Pets Ltd – Vets in Handforth

Updated January 2026

Clinic Overview

Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group and described on its website as a locally owned practice, set up with a modern facility (including an in-house laboratory, operating theatre, isolation units, and separate cat/dog waiting areas and wards). The clinic advertises minimally invasive laparoscopy (“keyhole” surgery) and a dental service that includes full-mouth dental X‑rays.

Recent reviews are dominated by two strong signals: multiple owners describe rapid, life-saving handling of medical emergencies (including emergency surgery and supportive follow-up), while a smaller number report poor and inconsistent front-desk/manager interactions—particularly around medication sign-off and charges linked to a health plan.

Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include

  • Dogs “rushed in” for emergencies with quick action and emergency surgery, followed by post-op support.
  • A WhatsApp channel used to provide updates (mentioned as “a massive help”).
  • Euthanasia support described as unhurried, with clear explanations and time given to say goodbye.
  • Complaints about being charged for a follow-up after a health-plan consultation, with owners saying this wasn’t explained upfront.

Services

From the website summary and reviews, the clinic is described as offering

  • Surgery, including laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) and airway surgery.
  • Dental care with full-mouth dental X‑rays.
  • Diagnostics, including digital X‑ray and an in-house laboratory.
  • Nurse clinics.
  • Microchipping.
  • Prescriptions.
  • Pet Passport / Animal Health Certificate issuance.
  • Health plans (one reviewer states their plan included two free consultations per year).
  • Care for dogs, cats, and rabbits (as stated on the website).

Out-of-hours: the website states out-of-hours emergency care is provided by Woodcroft Veterinary Hospital.

Pricing

Only limited pricing is mentioned in reviews

  • One reviewer reports a non-prescription product priced at £23.1 at the clinic, and says it was “just over £10” via an online pharmacy.
  • A reviewer says their health plan includes two free consultations each year, but they were then charged for a follow-up they believed had not been flagged as extra in advance (no fee amount given).

People

Named individuals mentioned in the latest reviews include

  • Nicole (vet): praised for euthanasia support—being “patient and compassionate,” explaining everything clearly, and giving the owner time they needed.
  • Grace: mentioned as helping an owner feel at ease around a dog’s neutering, described as “nice and understanding.”
  • Hannah: thanked alongside “the whole team” for looking after two cats; the review highlights how staff handled a difficult situation with one cat.
  • Suze and Lauren (front desk): described as “a pleasure to deal with” and “very sympathetic” after a pet loss.

Not all feedback about customer interactions is positive: two reviews describe a manager/owner response as lacking empathy and dismissive when owners raised concerns about medication sign-off and unexpected charges.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.6 stars from 106 reviews. “”

  • Emergency care and urgent surgery: several owners say their pets survived due to fast action and “lifesaving” emergency treatment; one mentions strong support post-surgery.
  • Communication tools and reassurance: one owner highlights WhatsApp updates and support around neutering.
  • End-of-life care: an owner describes being given time, clear explanations, and compassion during euthanasia, with supportive desk staff afterwards.
  • Customer service inconsistency and billing clarity: a minority report unpleasant interactions with a manager and say charges (including follow-ups after a health-plan consultation) were not explained before the appointment.
  • Medication costs: one review alleges products are priced higher than online pharmacies, giving a specific example (£23.1 vs just over £10).
