Clinic Overview

Aniwell Veterinary Clinic is a veterinary practice that (based on the structured clinic data) provides emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours) and is a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic also appears set up for cat owners: one long-term client specifically mentions a screened-off cat waiting area separated from the larger dog area.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe being fitted in quickly (including same-day/straight-away appointments) and getting practical guidance—for example, advice on calming medication to allow examination and treatment of a very challenging rescue cat. There’s also mention of dental treatment with updates during the day. One recent review strongly disagrees on standards and value, describing an unclean waiting area and a rushed consultation with high costs.

Services

  • Emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours) (as listed in the clinic data).
  • Veterinary nurse training facility (as listed in the clinic data).
  • Appointments at short notice / same-day slots (multiple reviews describe being seen “straight away” or accommodated at short notice).
  • Dental treatment (a client describes their cat having dental treatment and being kept informed during the day).
  • Behaviour/handling support for difficult-to-examine cats, including calming medication to enable examination and treatment (described for a rescue cat).
  • Care for ongoing medical conditions (a client mentions a diabetic cat being treated over several years).
  • Skin/ear-type infection management: one review describes a consultation for a suspected yeast infection and receiving medication and ear drops.

Pricing

Explicit costs mentioned in one recent review:

  • £200 for a consultation described as under 10 minutes.
  • Medication price cited as £2.50 per pill (reviewer compares this to under £1 online).
  • Ear drops priced at £55 (reviewer questioned why they were advised for use on paws).

People

No individual clinicians are named in the information provided. Reviews refer to the vets, nurses, and reception team:

  • Several owners describe staff as accommodating at short notice and reassuring during first visits (e.g., “put my mind at rest” for a puppy; “reassuring welcome” after a previous negative vet experience).
  • One long-term client specifically notes being kept informed during a day at the clinic for dental treatment, and felt reassured by updates.
  • Another owner highlights the team’s willingness to take on and manage a very difficult rescue cat, using calming medication so the cat could be examined and treated.
