All Paws Vets describes itself as an independent clinic and a cashless practice, with a “state of the art hospital” setup including in-house lab testing, digital X‑rays, ultrasound and echocardiography. The website also states the team is comfortable seeing exotics (small mammals, reptiles and birds) and holds certificates in advanced surgery. From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention vets who take time to listen and explain options/costs, and several describe active follow-up (including a vet checking in over weeks). Specific recent cases mentioned include being seen as an emergency even before registration, and surgery to remove an eye growth (with spaying done at the same time). Owners of anxious or fearful dogs also describe not being rushed and feeling supported during appointments.

KewVets is operated by Love4Nature LTD and is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the reviews, it appears set up for cases that go beyond routine checks, including inpatient monitoring and surgical work: owners describe pets staying overnight (and in one case over a week) and being “kept informed at every stage” during complex care. Several reviews mention rapid scheduling for investigations and staff handling very nervous animals with calm, hands-on reassurance (e.g., “cuddles” and positive handling during visits). A minority of reviews describe serious dissatisfaction, including concerns about costs and perceived lack of effective treatment.

Vets4Pets Harlow is part of the Vets4Pets group and describes itself as a locally owned practice. Based on its own service list, it’s set up for a wide range of diagnostics and surgery (including keyhole procedures), alongside routine care for dogs, cats, rabbits and small mammals. The practice also states it has separate cat/dog waiting areas and separate wards plus an isolation unit. Recent reviews are mixed: some owners describe clear explanations of treatment choices and an “honest approach” from named staff, while others report long waits, rude front-desk interactions, admin errors (medication ordering/notifications and reminder systems), inconsistent advice between vets, and one complaint about being charged around £400 for tests the owner felt were unnecessary.

No corporate group affiliation is mentioned in the information provided. Based on the reviews available, Walton Lodge Veterinary Group is used by owners for routine care (including annual vaccinations and check-ups) and for ongoing medical issues (allergies were specifically mentioned), as well as planned surgery (spaying was described, and one reviewer referenced needing an operation for a cat).
