Ashwood Veterinary Clinic

Ashwood Veterinary Clinic is used by owners for routine and problem consultations across cats, dogs, and small pets (rats are specifically mentioned). Reviews repeatedly name Stuart (vet) for being “thorough,” “patient,” and “gentle,” including long-term care for a cat over 15 years. A minority experience conflicts with this: one reviewer felt the vet was “off hand and brusk” and was unhappy that an ear problem wasn’t properly examined.

Based on what owners describe in reviews, the clinic provides

•General veterinary consultations for cats and dogs (ongoing care mentioned over many years).

We usually use the main branch, but occasionally follow Stuart over here too. He continues to be very knowledgeable and a great help in caring for our rats. The RVN and Reception team are excellent too, and always very friendly and helpful.
