Clinic Overview

Wirral Vets is a long-established practice (over 50 years, per its website) offering both preventative and curative veterinary care, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews frequently mention vets taking time to explain findings and treatment choices, including giving an expected price for different options before proceeding. Several owners also highlight calm handling of nervous or stressed pets (cats and dogs).

Services

  • Preventative healthcare for pets (the clinic also promotes a “Pet Health Club” intended to spread the cost of preventative care; no specific inclusions or prices are stated in the provided info).
  • General consultations and examinations (e.g., a dog checked thoroughly after an encounter with a fox, with reassurance given after the exam).
  • Discussing treatment options and likely costs ahead of treatment (mentioned in multiple reviews).
  • Medication-related queries are referenced in reviews (one owner describes problems around advice and communication about a Vetoryl dose change).

People

  • Dr. Murray-Keane (vet): named in reviews for a thorough examination and clear reassurance after checking a dog for possible disease risk following an incident involving a fox.
  • Unnamed vets and staff: repeatedly described as explaining things “step by step,” being informative, and helping put nervous pets at ease. One reviewer specifically valued being told about additional costs and having options explained with expected prices.
  • Mixed feedback on communication/professionalism: one review alleges rude remarks, disorganisation, and a failure to escalate a medication concern to a vet; the same reviewer reports receiving an email stating the practice would no longer provide care.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.4 stars from 395 reviews. “”

  • Clear explanations during appointments: owners mention vets taking time, explaining each step, and discussing treatment options with expected prices.
  • Nervous pets handled thoughtfully: multiple reviews describe vets being calm and reassuring with anxious cats and stressed dogs.
  • Clinic environment: described as clean and well maintained, with step-free access via a ramp as well as steps, and a seated waiting area.
  • Cost concerns: one reviewer comments the practice is “getting very very expensive.”
  • A notable negative account contrasts with the above: one owner reports a booking mistake after a 35-minute wait, unprofessional/rude communication, and dissatisfaction with how a medication issue was handled, followed by an email ending the vet-client relationship.
