- •Owners describe staff as kind and say they felt at ease while their pet was being handled. - A surgical visit (castration) was described as efficient, with the clinic described as clean and welcoming. - One recent reviewer strongly criticised the practice (“absolutely shocking”) but didn’t share what happened, so the reason for the dissatisfaction isn’t clear from the text available.

Carmel Veterinary Centre
Wolverhampton
Our Score (77/100)
From the latest reviews, owners most often describe routine care (check-ups and vaccinations) alongside urgent same-day treatment (for example, an elderly dog treated for fly strike, with the vet spending “about an hour” on care and reassurance). Several reviewers highlight vets who explain options clearly without pressuring decisions, while one recent review reports the opposite experience: rough cat handling and unclear pricing until the end.

YourVets24 Smethwick is part of the YourVets veterinary group (a trading name of Pet Vaccination Clinic Limited) within CVS (UK) Limited, and describes itself as a small-animal practice established in 2007. The clinic advertises an on-site 24-hour emergency service with full-time night staff, and reviews include owners using it for urgent, out-of-hours care (for example, a dog with a root wedged between molars that required sedation and removal). Recent reviews are mostly positive about kindness and clear explanations, but there is also a detailed complaint about a pet care plan/discount not being applied as expected and feeling overcharged.
