Clinic Overview

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.

Services

Services and capabilities mentioned by owners include

  • Emergency/urgent treatment for a critically unwell cat (described as emergency treatment).
  • Spay surgery with aftercare advice and wound-healing checks described by the owner.
  • Dental extraction for a dog.
  • Blood tests/diagnostics (including an in-house test result that one reviewer alleges was inaccurate and attributed by the practice to possible “machine error”).
  • Arthritis treatment/injections: one owner describes a monthly injection for mild arthritis (drug named in the review as Librela), and later management with Metacam via another vet.
  • Referral discussions: one owner mentions a referral to the RVC for a cat’s neurological issue (outcome described as no diagnosis/treatment plan).

Pricing

Reviews

Google rating: 4.4 stars from 325 reviews.

  • Strong praise for compassionate handling of anxious owners and sick pets, including one urgent case where a cat is said to have been “saved.”
  • Procedure experiences are often described in practical terms (smooth spay, neat incision, quick healing; dental extraction with supportive team).
  • Communication and options: some owners describe “clear-cut options” and calm explanations during complex cases.
