Clinic Overview

Reed Veterinary Surgery is a small-animal (cats and dogs) practice established in 2016, with facilities that suggest it’s set up for both routine care and more involved investigations and procedures (two operating theatres, a dedicated X-ray suite, ultrasound and an in-house lab). The practice also describes itself as a veterinary nurse training facility.

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).

Services

Services and capabilities described on the clinic website include

  • General care: consultations, vaccinations, parasite care, microchipping
  • Surgery: neutering, keyhole surgery
  • Imaging & diagnostics: X-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab
  • Scopes & internal medicine: endoscopy
  • Cardiac testing: echocardiography (ECG)
  • Dental care: dentistry
  • Nurse-led appointments: nurse clinics
  • Training: veterinary nurse training facility (as listed in the clinic data)

Out-of-hours care is stated to be provided by a sister practice (Swayne & Partners) that is open 24 hours a day.
