Fantastic vets with an amazing team. Georgia was kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. She took the time to explain everything and treated my pet with such care and compassion. Highly recommend! Frankie will be back

The staff are fantastic with my dog, he is a very nervous dog and they always make a right fuss of him and they take their time with him. They never make me feel silly if I ask a silly question they are really kind and when I had an emergency with my dog they instantly said come in and they had a team on standby ready for when we got there. I would recommend medivet watford as I couldn't ask for a better service

Good vet, the lady giving my dog treatment was very patient even though my dog was nervous and was being hard to deal with, it’s about a hour after the visit and my dog is already visibly better then she was when I brought her in thank you Medivet.

AVOID THIS VET AT ALL TIMES. Our dog woke me up with problems with his spine and was limping very badly. We took him to the vet and he was just felt around. We then had to pay £700 upfront for absolute nothing! He was kept overnight and sent to Watford. Overnight they didn't help him a single bit. We got charge an extra 300 pound bill to pay. After we payed, our dog came out the absolute same with no support and no changes. He was still limping. They didn't even diagnose him with anything! After £1000 pounds of literally nothing, our dog didn't have any improvements. If anything he came out worse with diarrhea which they gave him overnight. Seriously these people are just straight up scammers and want just your money. How am I paying £1000 to have my dog return in a worse state than he was. These people are nothing but frauds. We weren't told anything about what's wrong with him and no diagnosis like I said. These people are purely just taking money from people. They apparently ran blood tests but we didn't receive anything. We basically payed them for our dog to sleep over. If you want to get scammed and lost a massive amount of money for absolutely nothing, go ahead with them.

Fantastic team, thank you so much for taking care of our labrador! All the staff were very friendly, patient and understanding. It was easy to book an emergency appointment. The vets kept us informed about our lab's condition and procedures, and happy that we had updates on how she was doing when she was staying overnight.

Very caring staff and confident in their abilities. Not cheap but trust them to only recommend appropriate treatment. Olivia at reception is fabulous and Sophie one of the the nurses. Would recommend

Vet was excellent. Quick efficient and helpful. What would help is if there were blinds in the cat waiting area, I have been there several times when it is too hot for already stressed cats and the upstairs waiting area is filled with noisy dogs.

We had an awful experience here in March of this year (after many years of spending an absolute fortune ) when our much loved German Shepherd was euthanised and then left lying on the ground whilst we made arrangements to have him cremated. He was put to sleep at midday on a Friday and after making the necessary arrangements I contacted Medivet of my plan to have him cremated at Resting Pets on the Monday. I was assured it was fine to leave him there but got a telephone call later that evening to say they couldn’t keep my dog at the practice as their cold storage was full. They had apparently euthanised several large pets that day and they had no space for my dog. I find that very difficult to believe. The more unbelievable thing is, they offered to keep him but he would be still on the floor and when I collected him on Monday he’d be in a state of decomposition and be smelling. It was absolutely heartbreaking. He was left lying on the ground until we picked him up at 8.30pm that evening, it was a very warm day and he was emitting a foul smell. Absolutely disgraceful. I am still so angry at the management and staff that they allowed this to happen. I cannot think of my pet without thinking of Medivet and what they allowed to happen. They’ve tarnished my memory of my dog. Such a cruel thing to be allowed to happen. They knew how much we loved him. My complaint was dealt with by the practice manager and the vets on duty never had the courtesy to call and apologise. I will never forgive them. I deleted my previous post where I gave the surgery 5 stars.

Very bad, are trying to get the more money out of you. I went there for my cat. He is 6kg and then needed 2 bottles of each medication for the amount they asked me to give. They charges for prescription in the price + the price of those medications. Which is fine but still very excessive compared to online. But I talked with others vets which agreed they should have directly giving me 2 bottles and not charging the prescription twice, just the medications twice. But no, they waited until I realised it, to charge me twice the prescription. They should also have let me know if needed 2. They knew. It was obvious. You cant give 2ml twice a day for 8 days with only 15ml... mathematics are very bad here... Notes : they charged more then the doubles for just prescribing some medications. Also noticed on the box, they said on the boxe dosages should be 4kg : 1ml 5kg : 1.25. On the list it seem to be only 0.25 by extra kilos... and then my cat should be 1.50ml not 2ml... i am a bit worried now that I also noticed that.
