Rayleigh Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group. The clinic presents itself as a modern, well‑equipped practice with in‑house diagnostics (including an in‑house lab, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and a hospital ward/isolation unit. Emergency cover is stated to be provided by Vets4Pets Romford Hospital. From the latest reviews available, owners mention a mix of routine and longer‑running medical needs: one owner describes ongoing support for a kitten with allergies, and another mentions a follow‑up after surgery for two kittens. A couple of recent low-star reviews focus not on clinical care but on the practice’s stance/judgment around dog training tools (e.g., prong collars), while another raises a practical issue with medication ordering delays.
