Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Medivet Benfleet London Road (formerly Riverside Vets Benfleet) is part of the Medivet group. It appears set up for routine care and ongoing monitoring (multiple reviews mention 6‑month and general health checks), with access to Medivet’s network for overnight emergencies. Owners repeatedly describe clear, step-by-step explanations during examinations, and several mention vets taking time to keep dogs calm and comfortable. One recurring downside is continuity: a reviewer noted seeing many different vets over the past year and wanting a more regular clinician. Concrete specifics supported by the available information: - Health checks are a common visit reason (including 6‑month checks and multi-dog checks). - Vets are described as explaining findings as the exam happens (e.g., “very thorough and explained as the examinations took place”). - Decision-making support is mentioned: a vet provided two operation estimates for a cat and left the choice to the owner. - Medivet states a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 (7pm–9am) at its 24/7 centres.

Benfleet Veterinary Surgery describes itself as independently owned and an RCVS Approved Surgery, with on-site facilities including a laparoscopy (keyhole) suite. Recent reviews repeatedly mention keyhole spays with rapid recovery (one owner said their dog needed no stitches and was “up and about the next day”), and orthopaedic work such as cruciate repair and a knee/joint operation. Several owners also contrast pricing with other practices—one review mentions being quoted over £700 elsewhere for a dental clean, and having dental work here done for “a fraction of that price” including removal of 5 teeth.
