Village Vet Cottenham – Vets in Cambridge
Clinic Overview
Village Vet Cottenham is part of the Village Vet family of practices (a multi-site group). From owner reports, it appears set up for everyday first-opinion care with access to additional support across sister branches—owners mention using other Village Vet branches for emergency visits and for routine surgery. Practical details that come up repeatedly include same-day appointments being available, a monthly “pet care package” that bundles parasite prevention and routine care, and vets taking time to explain findings clearly (including ruling out a suspected skin problem when the issue was plant matter caught in fur). Several reviews also highlight calm handling for anxious or “difficult” pets.

Zoe is very thorough and listens to you. She is gentle with my cat. You can subscribe to their pet care package which gives you monthly flea treatment, worm treatments (4 x a year), annual vaccinations plus 2 consultations. The subscription is a monthly payment which spreads the cost to a manageable level. Recommended.

Our vet is Cottenham, although we have visited the branches in Milton and Longstanton for emergency and routine surgery for both our cat and dog. Even after moving we remain with Village Vets Cottenham as we have always been impressed by the care and compassion they have for our animals. The reception staff are always friendly and kind, and our vet Zoe is amazing. Zoe is professional, explains thoroughly and with care at all times. Our cat and dog have never disliked visiting their vetinary practice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Lovely friendly staff. The VET was so accommodating and explained everything to me throughout the consultation. My problem was plant matter in my fur and my owner thought I had a skin problem. Wonder how the VET knew I like hiding in bushes!!!
