Clinic Overview

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.
