Battlers Green Veterinary Centre

Battlers Green Veterinary Centre offers routine and surgical care alongside stated emergency veterinary services and operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews repeatedly mention time taken to explain options clearly, with examples including dental work, lump removal surgery, and procedures for cats. The practice also appears set up for quick follow-up: one owner describes using PetsApp messaging during opening hours to get an immediate response and same-day recheck after a wound issue, and another mentions the team already knew about an out-of-hours visit to an associated hospital and proactively contacted them the next morning.

Feedback is mixed on testing recommendations: several owners say they felt the team prioritised animal welfare over money, while one review describes feeling pressured into a full blood panel without clear explanation and left with a higher bill than expected.

Services

•Emergency / out-of-hours support: One owner reports being seen out of hours at an associated hospital, with the practice already aware of the visit and providing follow-up advice the next morning.
•Surgery: Lump removal is specifically mentioned, including a post-op recheck after a wound was scratched.
•Dentistry: A dog dental procedure is specifically mentioned.
•Diagnostics: Blood testing is mentioned (a “full panel of blood tests” was recommended in one case).

•Digital messaging: Owners mention a PetsApp service used to message the practice during opening hours and arrange a prompt appointment.
•Veterinary nurse training facility: Listed as a service/capability in the provided clinic data.

•Abigail: Mentioned in one review as handling a post-op issue quickly (owner reports the pet was “sorted within half an hour”) and being empathetic during a recheck appointment.

My dog Hugo has been to Battlers Green Vets twice in the past week, and both times we’ve had such a positive experience. Our vet, Jonathan, has been incredibly patient, kind, and thorough - you can really tell he cares about the animals he treats. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure Hugo was calm and comfortable throughout. It’s so refreshing to find a practice where the team genuinely puts the animals’ welfare first, rather than focusing on the money. Everyone there is friendly, compassionate, and professional. I can’t recommend Jonathan and the whole team at Battlers Green Vets enough!

Super friendly and professional. Easy location and accessible.

I had a disappointing experience at this vet clinic. I brought my pet in for a fairly simple issue, but the vet immediately pushed for a full panel of blood tests without clearly explaining why they were necessary. It felt excessive and more focused on upselling services than addressing the actual problem. When I asked for clarification, I didn’t get much reassurance or transparency — just pressure to go ahead with the tests. In the end, the results didn’t add any useful information, and I was left with a much higher bill than expected.

Monkey recently had a dental procedure at Battlers Green Vets, and the whole experience was incredibly smooth from start to finish. Jon is a fantastic professional — knowledgeable, kind, and always happy to take the time to explain everything clearly. This is the second dog I’ve brought to see Jon, and I can confidently say I’ve found the right vet for my pets. I couldn’t recommend Battlers Green Vets highly enough!

Best vet I’ve been to over many years! Especially Jonathan. I felt so at ease leaving my cats with them and for their procedure. So knowledgeable too🙏🤍 P.s Beautiful Location🦚

From day one when we transfered Frankie to Battlers Green Vets (over 2 years now) they have been fantastic. The difference from our previous vets was night and day. Jonathan and the team are always welcoming, compassionate, and kind but most of all caring. We have always found everything to be well priced and hes always been extremely well looked after when visiting. Frankie agrees, and he wouldn't go anywhere else 🐾

I cannot recommend this vet in Battlers Green enough! 💚 My Ivy Blu is my absolute baby, and when she needed a lump removed I was so nervous, especially as it was my first time using this vet. From start to finish, the care and professionalism were outstanding. Jonathan carried out Ivy’s surgery, and his experience was obvious from the moment we spoke. He was fast, professional, and reassuring, he made me feel confident that I was doing the right thing for her. A few days later, I had to bring Ivy back (my own fault – I took her cone off too early and she scratched her wound). The practice has a brilliant PetsApp service, so I was able to message them during opening hours and they got back to me instantly, arranging for Ivy to be seen right away. This time, she was looked after by Abigail, I believe she’s new to the practice, but wow, she was amazing! She was so kind, understanding, and empathetic towards me (I was feeling awful). She was professional and had Ivy sorted within half an hour. A week later, Ivy is completely healed and doing brilliantly. Every single member of the team we met was friendly, welcoming, and clearly adored Ivy, and she loved going in, even after surgery! Thank you to Jonathan, Abigail, and the whole team for looking after my girl so well.

I've been a dog owner for 30yrs and visited many different vets. We've been going to Battlers Green for a couple of years and its the best ever. Lovely reception staff, excellent vets who take time with the dogs and explain everything on detail. Easy to get appointments, easy parking, dog walks in the fields around ( best walk is to cross the road outside the retail area, there is a gate and a footpath sign).

We recently joined Battlers Green Vets and are so pleased that we did! Unexpectedly, our dog Misty had an issue and had to take her out of hours to their associated hospital. Before I even had a chance to phone them in the morning to discuss, they already knew about it, contacted me and assisted with invaluable advice. Such a superb service from a warm and friendly team and can't recommend highly enough!
