Hampton Veterinary Centre

Hampton Veterinary Centre is an RCVS-accredited small-animal practice (RCVS Small Animal Practice accreditation) with a team of eight vets, set up for both everyday care and more involved diagnostics and surgery. The website highlights orthopaedics (including a hip and elbows screening programme) and in-house diagnostics such as digital X‑ray, ultrasound, endoscopy and in-house laboratories.

We've used this practice for over 38 years for large and small animals including goats and horses. They have always been excellent both in service to us and in the care of our animals. Not the cheapest practice around but then you get what you pay for and they are certainly a 5 star practice. Highly recommended

Friendly and helpful reception team to greet you and book appointments etc. Nice waiting room with cat space and good information. Great vets who explain everything thoroughly, listen and give good treatment and handle our cats very well.

I have a German Shepherd and a Shih Tzu poodle cross, (little & large!!) both dogs get excellent care from the vets. In addition to the monthly plan for worming and vaccinations (which is great value for money) when my dogs have had problems they’ve been identified quickly and they’ve helped me find practical and inexpensive solutions. Plus lots of tips and a holistic perspective !

We have used Hampton vets for several years. Last night our large dog came back with a large and deep cut to his chest (no idea how it happened). Lucy on reception was simply fantastic! (Thank you!) we got in for an early appointment the next morning. The vet (Alex) was just the best! He had a great approach with both our dog and us. Talking us through what needed to be done both simply and clearly. Within 30 mins - our dog was all fixed up and on our way. Can’t thank you enough! Professional, engaging, supportive - all the thing a great vets should be. Well done team!

This was first visit to the vets with our puppy Finn for his second dose of injections. The procedure under Covid restrictions was handled very well Finn was taken inside had his injection was brought out to the car and the vet explained everything going forwards. Everything was handled very efficiently and it was nice to use a veterinary practice that is local. We hope to get to know them better as Finn grows.
