Clinic Overview

Clacton-on-Sea Vets For Pets is described on its website as a locally owned Vets for Pets practice. Based on the clinic’s listed facilities (including an in-house laboratory, operating theatre, and oxygen chamber) and what owners describe in reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and urgent, stabilising treatment (for example, one owner describes their dog being put into oxygen while tests were run, followed by a diagnosis and clear explanation).

Owners repeatedly mention practical, decision-relevant details such as same-day appointments being available, updates during the day about a pet’s progress, and vets taking time to help nervous or rescue dogs settle (including speaking calmly and using treats at the end of an appointment). Reviews also include serious complaints about communication and treatment decisions, including one account involving parvovirus advice and another describing a distressing nail-trim visit and a payment discussion at reception.

People

  • Pawel (vet): mentioned by name in multiple reviews. Several owners describe him as patient with nervous dogs and knowledgeable, and one says they were kept informed on progress throughout the day. Other reviews describe the opposite experience, including a complaint about his attitude/professionalism during a nail-trim visit and a separate very serious allegation regarding advice given during a suspected parvovirus case.
  • Hati (vet): described as patient; one owner specifically notes she sat with a large dog, spoke to him, and used treats to help the dog end the visit calm.
  • Reception team: repeatedly mentioned as helpful on the phone and in person; one review describes urgency and support when an unwell dog was brought in.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.4 stars from 13 reviews. “”

  • Handling anxious pets: multiple owners mention patient handling of nervous/rescue dogs, including using treats and taking time to help dogs settle.
  • Urgent care experiences: one detailed account describes being told to come straight in, prompt triage by a nurse, use of oxygen, rapid testing, and a diagnosis explained clearly.
  • Communication during treatment: one owner says they were kept informed throughout the day about their pet’s progress.
  • Conflicting experiences: alongside many very positive reviews, there are two 1-star accounts alleging poor communication/professionalism; one includes a complaint about payment being discussed loudly at reception, and another alleges misleading advice during a parvovirus situation (this conflicts with other owners’ reports of clear explanations and trust).
