Westover Vets Ltd describes itself as an independent, vet-owned small animal hospital providing care since 1896.

Chapelfield Veterinary Partnership is a long-established, five-branch practice (over 100 years, per its website) that offers routine appointments as well as faster-turnaround care when something is urgent (for example, one reviewer says their dog was seen immediately after an attack). Clinic data also lists emergency veterinary services and that it’s a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews frequently mention being seen quickly and that vets handle anxious cats gently, but there are also recurring concerns about cost transparency—particularly around medication pricing and itemised bills—and one report of serious admin/consent issues related to the Pet Health Club.

Community Pet Clinic appears to be tied to Jollyes (the website and reviewer references describe “Jollyes” and a store-based setup), rather than a standalone independent practice. The information available suggests it supports multiple species (dogs, cats, birds, small pets, reptiles and fish) and uses an external out‑of‑hours provider when the store is closed. Recent feedback is mixed: some reviews describe the in-clinic appointment itself as “fine,” while others describe rigid vaccination timing and an online-only booking process as frustrating.

Pet Behaviour Practice appears to focus on practical dog behaviour support rather than routine veterinary care. From the written reviews available, sessions include home visits, Zoom consultations, and “behavioural walking sessions” where the work happens in real-life situations (e.g., meeting other dogs/people, improving lead walking, and building confidence in anxious dogs). Reviews repeatedly describe Carol providing specific techniques and drills owners can practise, and tailoring exposure to triggers (for example, carefully choosing opportunities for a nervous dog to meet other dogs and people).
