Alistair Poole Veterinary Surgery (A J Poole) describes itself as a long-established, independent small-animal practice set up over 30 years ago by Alistair and Sue Poole. The website highlights same-day appointments for ill pets, a repeat-prescription service (including a postal option), and out-of-hours emergency cover provided by the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals. Reviews most often describe ongoing care for cats and dogs (including dentistry, eye problems, and referral on for a spinal injury), with one review reporting the practice refused to see an unregistered dog that was choking.

Medivet Harpenden is part of the Medivet group (a network of practices) and links into their wider setup for continuous care, including referral into 24-hour centres for overnight emergencies. From the information available, this branch appears set up for routine consultations with the ability to admit pets for ongoing treatment when needed; one owner describes their dog being admitted for treatment and staying in a veterinary hospital for five days, with regular updates from the vet. Review feedback is mixed on value: several reviews describe friendly, professional care and calmer visits, while others say they were presented with a costly “shopping list” of treatments and felt standards changed after Medivet took over.
