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.

I was able to get an appointment straight away for my puppy. The vet put my mind at rest

I recently called this vet to request prescriptions for my dog, but was told I needed to book an appointment first. I understood that, so I accepted a same-day appointment. However, when I arrived, I was shocked at the condition of the reception and waiting area. There was hair everywhere and a strong smell — it genuinely looked like the floor hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. I know it’s a vet clinic and pets come and go, but basic cleanliness should still be a priority. When I saw the vet, I already knew what my dog’s issue was, and I even knew which medication she needed. The vet didn’t ask for my dog’s weight, only checked her temperature and paws, and confirmed the yeast infection I had already identified. She then prescribed the exact medication I had requested. There was no additional insight or explanation — nothing I didn’t already know. The biggest shock came at checkout: £200 for a consultation that lasted less than 10 minutes. So worked out £20 a min !!! Let that sink in 😡 On top of that, I was sold medication at more than double the price I could get online. £2.50 per pill for something that costs under £1 elsewhere. I also received ear drops that I was told to use on my dog’s paws can’t see how’s that relevant to her paws !!!! costing £55, which felt excessive. Overall, the prices were unreasonable, the visit was rushed, and the clinic itself was not clean. It’s extremely disappointing, and it’s no surprise pet owners feel frustrated with vet costs when experiences like this happen.

Have been using Aniwell vets since around 2003 and always found them very caring and professional.I also like how they have a cat waiting area which is screened off from the larger dog waiting area.

Our rescue cat has the well deserved title 'the cat from hell' - but this vet practice has taken her on, and advised us on 'calming' medication to enable her to be examined and treated. They are very efficient, but also warm and welcoming. Highly recommended

A reassuring welcome and first appointment after a negative experience at a previous vet practice. Aniwell staff are friendly and professional and a great example of what a vet practice should be like. Thank you very much.

Have been going to Aniwell for many years now. First with my old cat Chloe. And the last 4 years with my diabetic cat Louis. All the staff from vets nurses and reception staff have allways been very caring and helpfully . Just to add today Louis had a day at the vet's for dental treatment, and he was looked after so well, by vet and nurses, and we were kept informed on how he was ? So very reasurring for us .
