Specialist Vets in Nantwich

## Summary Medivet Nantwich 24 hour (Nantwich Pet Vets) is part of the Medivet group and operates as a 24/7 emergency-capable veterinary hospital. Reviews describe fast out-of-hours triage (including a call-back within minutes and advice to come straight in), overnight care with pets going home the next morning, and support around difficult end-of-life decisions. There’s also a clear split in experiences on costs and consultation value: one owner reports a brief appointment that didn’t include basic checks (no weight or temperature) and felt pushed towards surgery, while many others describe thorough care and kindness. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Out-of-hours phone guidance with a rapid call-back and immediate admission for a sick puppy, followed by discharge the next morning. - Treatment for a dog with suspected IVDD/burst disc and hind-limb paralysis/incontinence, with recovery of walking and continence reported. - Compassionate, supportive euthanasia appointments (including emergency euthanasia for a cat). - Staff helping with payment/insurance discussions during an emergency visit. ## Services - **24/7 emergency care** (owners describe weekend/sunday out-of-hours access, phone triage, and urgent admission). - **Hospitalisation/overnight care** (reported in a puppy case with next-morning discharge). - **Neurology/IVDD-related care** (one owner describes a vet they refer to as a “neurologist vet” managing a burst disc/IVDD case). - **Euthanasia and end-of-life support**, including emergency euthanasia and support for owners during distressing visits. - **Care for multiple species**, with cases mentioned for dogs, cats, and a “cavi” (guinea pig). - **Veterinary Nurse Training facility** (listed in clinic data). - **Mobility Pain Check promotion** (website content references a “FREE Mobility Pain Check” offered until 30 November; no further details provided). ## Pricing - **£50**: one reviewer reports being charged £50 for what they describe as a 5-minute consultation. - **£130 overnight emergency consultation fee**: stated on the Medivet website as a nationwide price for consultations between 7pm–9am, but the same page explicitly says this is **“Not available at Medivet 24 Hour Nantwich.”** ## People - **Megan Bennion**: thanked by name by an owner for caring for their guinea pig (“cavi”) when it was very ill, including kindness when further treatment wasn’t possible. - **Alan**: described by one owner as a “neurologist vet,” credited with managing an IVDD/burst disc case where the dog went from being unable to use the back legs and being double incontinent to walking again and regaining bowel/bladder control. - **Reception team, nurses, and vets**: repeatedly mentioned as helpful during emergency visits, including explaining payment/insurance and providing compassionate support during euthanasia appointments. ## Reviews **4.6 stars from 842 reviews.** The latest reviews include both emergency/complex-case success stories and a minority complaint about cost and lack of basic examination. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - **Emergency responsiveness:** out-of-hours phone advice with rapid call-backs and clear direction to attend immediately. - **Strong outcomes in serious cases:** an IVDD/burst disc recovery story (walking and continence returning) and a puppy recovering after an overnight stay. - **End-of-life compassion:** owners describe staff support and sensitivity during euthanasia visits, including when the owner was very distressed. - **Cost/value concerns (not unanimous):** one owner reports a £50, very short consult with no weight/temperature taken and felt surgery was suggested without clear answers.
