Medivet Melbourn is part of the Medivet veterinary group (a network of practices and 24-hour centres). It appears set up for routine consultations and ongoing care, with owners repeatedly mentioning extra time spent with anxious pets and clear communication about test results. Medivet also advertises access to 24/7 emergency care with a standard overnight consultation fee, though one recent reviewer said they “wish they offered 24/7 emergency care,” suggesting expectations may differ between on-site cover and referral to a 24-hour centre.

From the latest reviews available, owners most often highlight end-of-life support: being given time and privacy with a pet during euthanasia, clear guidance when owners felt unsure what to do, and thoughtful follow-up (including a sympathy card with seeds to plant). Another repeated practical point is making room to see an animal sooner when waiting would have delayed care (one review mentions being fitted in on a Friday because it was needed).
