Best Vets in Cambridge – Complete Local Guide

Cambridge Bar Hill VetsforPets is a Vets4Pets-branded practice that the website describes as locally owned, with a modern, well-equipped setup (including an in-house lab, imaging, and separate dog/cat wards). Reviews most often describe thorough consultations and fast admin support (including a “message service” that gets replies quickly), alongside specific hands-on care such as removing a grass seed from a puncture wound and then prescribing anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatment. Pricing feedback is mixed: one recent reviewer felt the initial consultation was “good” value but cited £300+ for blood tests and £90 for blood pressure checks.

The practice is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Clarendon Street Veterinary Surgery is described by reviewers as an independent practice. It appears set up for both urgent, same-day problems and planned procedures: owners mention being seen “straight away” for emergencies, and pets being booked quickly for surgery (including a broken tooth and tumour removal).

Concrete details owners repeatedly describe include

• •Surgery with proactive follow-up: one owner of a senior dog described quick access to surgery, updates during the day, then multiple bandage changes and post-op checks, with some follow-ups said to be included in the operation cost or free.
• •Handling urgent cases promptly: examples include a paw-pad slice and an emergency visit for a dog with a grass seed lodged deep in the nose causing sneezing and bleeding.
• •Clear cost communication: one review specifically mentions transparency regarding cost during treatment.
• •Out-of-hours cover: the clinic website states that out-of-hours calls are handled by Vets24.

Medivet Impington is part of the Medivet group (a network of veterinary practices and 24-hour centres). The clinic offers routine appointments as well as access to around-the-clock emergency care via one of Medivet’s 24-hour centres, with the website stating a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 (7pm–9am).

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: pets being seen quickly when unwell (including an emergency walk-in cat), staff taking steps to reduce stress for reactive dogs (being brought in via a back door), and vets supporting longer-term conditions (one owner mentions epilepsy management). One review also describes a case where the clinic did not charge after someone brought in a neighbour’s unwell cat out of concern.

Belgrave House Veterinary Surgery’s ownership/group isn’t stated in the provided information. The clinic presents itself as a general practice with surgical capability, home-visit care, and a stated 24-hour emergency service, covering both pets and farm/livestock animals. In recent reviews, owners most often describe thorough problem-solving (including seeking lab input and coming back with a plan) and supportive follow-up during serious illness and end-of-life situations. One detailed account credits the team with identifying and surgically treating a suspected pyometra after months of symptoms being attributed to age elsewhere.

Highgate Veterinary Clinic is an independent practice that describes itself as a “Fear Free” clinic, aiming for lower-stress visits. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and procedures (vaccinations, neutering, dentistry, x‑rays, surgery) and for supporting anxious or rescue dogs with extra time and calm handling. Owners repeatedly mention vets taking time during exams, explaining options, and accommodating urgent situations (for example, being seen immediately when a dog deteriorated, and fitting in a tick removal visit).
