Millennium Veterinary Practice – Vets in Braintree
Clinic Overview
Millennium Veterinary Practice describes itself as an independent small-animal practice and mentions having a CT scanner. Recent reviews repeatedly point to a clinic set up for cats and dogs with an emphasis on unhurried consultations (appointments can run late because “they don’t rush you through”) and practical access to urgent care (one owner reports getting an urgent, non-emergency appointment within an hour). Owners also mention a cats-only area, and several reviews highlight staff adapting to individual needs—for example, accommodating requests to see a female vet for a cat that isn’t comfortable with men.

Staff are always friendly and helpful. Rexy liked the cats only area! Sometimes the appointment times are a bit delayed, but that's because they don't rush you through and this can cause over runs.

We needed an urgent (not an emergency)appointment and were in the surgery only 1 hour later. The vet was thorough checking Tegan, listened to us and gave a possible solution. All the staff were efficient and caring, and we were skin out the door, making the experience good for us and short for Tegan.

Excellent staff at this veterinary practice, from the receptionists to the veterinary doctors. They take time to listen to your issues while advising you on how best to treat your pet. I have 100% faith in them for caring for my two geriatric dogs. Thank you Millennium Veterinary Practice.

As always we were treated with care and respect by all staff. Brian responded to Oh BrianStefan’s gentle manner and was happy to be picked up and examined by him. For some years he was nervous and crying when he had to visit Millenium Vets but Stefaan has always been patient with him and Brian is obviously very fond of him. Brian was a nervous wreck when he came to us ten years ago as a result of the cruelty he experienced in his earlier life. He was painfully thin and had no whiskers. It took a great deal of caring attention for him to gradually gain confidence. Fortunately we were recently retired so were able to be with him for much of the day. Our adult family fell in love with him and gave him positive, loving attention so, gradually, he became calm and content. He is now a very active and adventurous cat, climbing the trees outside our house, exploring the wild area and our neighbours’ gardens and houses from time to time. This gives him a good appetite of course! For the first few years Brian avoided men like the plague apart from my husband. He had to go to the vet a few days ago and the vet commented on his excellent physical and characteristic condition. We love him dearly and he clearly knows that. He usually sleeps snuggled up to me.

We saw Shaun last night with Dora our Bulldog. His expertise was priceless and gave great advice. He really cares about the dogs and took time to listen to us. Wish you all the best luck in your new role at Millennium Vets!
