Mercer & Hughes Ltd is a veterinary practice that (based on your clinic data) provides emergency veterinary services and is also a veterinary nurse training facility. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe consultations where the vet listened carefully and communicated plainly—especially around end-of-life decisions. Several reviews also raise cost concerns, with one long-term client saying the practice has become “all about money” and “unhelpful,” while other reviewers describe supportive, flexible handling of difficult situations (including allowing delayed payment after a pet was put to sleep). Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include support with euthanasia decisions, a pet passing peacefully at home, vaccinations being updated, and at least one case where the practice did not require payment on the day of a distressing appointment.
