Clinic Overview

Taverham Veterinary Practice Ltd describes itself as a veterinary hospital with modern facilities and specialist equipment, including a dedicated emergency service and a rehabilitation centre (hydrotherapy/physiotherapy), plus a “luxury cattery.” It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention

  • Emergency support that includes phone triage and urgent care for seizures/vomiting/dehydration and medication overdose concerns.
  • Diagnostics that sometimes involve leaving a pet in for tests before a same-day update and discharge.
  • A policy that (per one review) requires pets to have been seen within the last 12 months before parasite medication can be supplied.

There is also a clear split in experiences: many accounts describe smooth, reassuring care and responsive communication, while one detailed account alleges months of repeated tests without a correct diagnosis and significant cost.

Services

  • 24/7 emergency care (stated on the website).
  • Rehabilitation centre: hydrotherapy and physiotherapy (stated on the website).
  • Small animal medicine (stated on the website).
  • In-clinic diagnostics/testing (mentioned in reviews; e.g., a puppy kept in while tests were done).
  • Nail clipping and routine health checks (mentioned in reviews).
  • Care for a range of pets mentioned by reviewers, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and a chicken.

Pricing

  • One reviewer reports being told they would need a vet consultation for each of three dogs in order to obtain flea/worm/tick medication, quoting £70 per consultation (x3), plus medication costs (reviewer estimated £350+ total including tablets).

People

  • Reception team: mentioned for staying calm and “going above and beyond” during a busy period, and for being easy to reach by phone with messages returned (multiple reviews).
  • Emergency phone staff: specifically praised for talking an owner through an accidental medication overdose and providing clear information that “put my mind at ease.”
  • Insurance/administration team: one owner describes help uploading evidence and submitting an insurance claim after the owner paid in full (warning that direct claims may not always be offered, depending on insurer).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 1064 reviews.

  • Emergency situations handled quickly and with reassurance: examples include overnight seizure-like episodes with vomiting/dehydration, and advice after an accidental medication overdose.
  • Communication and responsiveness: owners describe reception answering calls readily, returning messages, and providing comforting support during waits.
  • Handling anxious pets: one reviewer says their anxious cat is managed well during appointments.
  • Diagnostics and inpatient-style testing: one review mentions leaving a puppy for tests and later receiving a diagnosis and update.
  • Policies and costs can be a flashpoint: one reviewer was unhappy about needing a vet visit (reported as a 12-month requirement) to obtain parasite medication, with a quoted consultation fee.
  • A serious negative allegation about missed diagnosis: one detailed review claims extensive testing over months without correct identification of bladder cancer, followed by a diagnosis at another practice; this conflicts with multiple reviews describing confidence in the clinical team.
