Best Rated Veterinary Clinics in Loughton, Essex
Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Loughton Vets4Pets Ltd operates under the Vets4Pets brand and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on reviews, the practice is frequently used for cat and dog care ranging from routine procedures to urgent cases, with multiple owners describing clear communication and structured decision-making (for example, being given “clear-cut options” for a complex neurological case). Owners most often mention: - Surgery with post-op support: a dog spay where “everything went smoothly,” with “brilliant” aftercare and recovery guidance, and a very neat incision noted by the owner. - Dentistry: a dog dental extraction, with anxiety around anaesthetic addressed by the team, and the vet and head nurse named in thanks. - Urgent treatment: one account of a very unwell cat receiving emergency treatment that the owner says “saved his life.” There are also serious negative accounts raising concerns about (a) prescribing an arthritis injection without prior blood tests and disputing reported side effects, and (b) an allegedly incorrect in-house blood test result later contradicted by an external lab, followed by a dispute over a refund.

Goddard Veterinary Group Loughton is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group and has been established since 2003. The practice is RCVS accredited, has an in-house lab and X-ray, and the website says it was recently fully refurbished to create a more spacious, stress-free environment for pets. Based on the latest reviews, owners most often describe hands-on care for serious situations and dentistry: one cat was treated after being hit by a car, and another pet had “lots of teeth removed” with owners highlighting thorough checks and strong aftercare communication. A contrasting theme appears in a 1-star review describing an urgent call about an injured stray cat where the receptionist allegedly required upfront payment despite an RSPCA incident number and did not offer immediate welfare care.
