Best Vets in Stevenage – Complete Local Guide

Medivet Stevenage - Valley Vets is part of the Medivet group (not an independent clinic). It’s set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, microchipping, parasite treatment) as well as surgeries and dental work—owners specifically mention spaying, lump removal with a sample sent off for testing, and teeth removed under anaesthetic. The practice is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility, and Medivet provides access to 24-hour emergency care via its emergency centres (with an out-of-hours consultation fee stated on the website). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly describe pets being kept calm during visits, staff fitting appointments in quickly when they’re busy, and follow-ups on a pet’s progress after treatment.

True Sky Vets Limited is described on its website as a mobile veterinary clinic, with an emphasis on reducing pet stress by providing care at home. However, the latest Google reviews available to us repeatedly refer to “Valley Vets” and one review mentions “Medivet”, so the branding/clinic identity in reviews doesn’t cleanly match the website/clinic record. From the reviews, owners most often talk about: - Keeping pets calm during visits (e.g., a puppy “felt comfortable and not anxious”). - Follow-up and fitting appointments in quickly when the practice is busy (one owner describes staff “endeavour[ing] to fit you in asap” and “following up on progress”). - Common preventive care (microchipping, vaccinations, and ongoing flea/worm treatment were specifically mentioned). - Surgery/dentistry under anaesthetic (spay, lump removal for testing, and teeth removed during the same anaesthetic were all described in one case).

Walton Lodge Vets is part of Walton Lodge Veterinary Group Ltd, a multi-surgery veterinary company (six surgeries stated on its website). The practice appears set up for routine pet care and ongoing support, with the website stating 24-hour emergency care is available and reviews specifically mentioning routine cat vaccinations and dog consultations. Several recent reviewers describe a welcoming reception team and appointments that feel unrushed, including one client repeatedly naming Christian (vet) as someone who “spends ages explaining” what’s going on and talks through options to think about. Reviews also flag a practical downside: parking can be difficult.

Roebuck Veterinary Group – Great Ashby is an RCVS Veterinary Hospital (established in the late 1960s) with 24-hour emergency care supported by full-time night staff, plus free telephone advice for urgent cases (as stated on the website). The clinic is also accredited as a Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver) and is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews paint a mixed picture: some owners describe rapid admission in emergencies, detailed explanations of options and costs, and thoughtful bereavement keepsakes (paw prints in a card, fur in a vial). Others report poor communication/continuity (seeing different vets repeatedly), disputed handling in emergencies, and conflicting pricing quotes for the same type of diagnostic work (X-rays).

Companion Care (Stevenage) Ltd trading as Vets4Pets runs this practice, which the website describes as a locally owned clinic. It’s set up as a general small-animal practice with on-site diagnostics (in-house lab work, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and a surgical set-up (operating theatre, hospital ward, isolation unit). From the latest reviews, owners most often mention: - Routine surgery with clear explanations (e.g., a dog spay where staff were “very informative and reassuring,” and the owner specifically noted a very small, well-healing scar). - End-of-life support and decision-making (a same-day appointment for euthanasia where the vet discussed realistic outcomes, quality-of-life, and costs/options before the owner decided). - Care plans and reminders (owners mention being helped to set up a care plan and getting text reminders). At the same time, there are also reports of administrative delays and poor front-desk experiences, including chasing blood results and insurance claims with little proactive updating.
