Clinic Overview

Southend Victoria Vets4Pets is part of the Vets4Pets/Companion Care group (per the clinic website). Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, neutering) as well as in-practice procedures and follow-up checks (one owner describes an operation followed by several days of post-op check-ups). Multiple reviewers also describe being fitted in quickly when worried (a limping dog, a cat with a swollen eye), while a minority of reviews raise concerns about pricing transparency and handling of urgent cases.

Concrete specifics mentioned

  • Same-day/quick appointments were arranged by reception for acute issues (limping dog; injured/swollen eye).
  • An operation with several days of post-op checks is described for a senior dog with a bleeding foot/back-leg problem.
  • Blood testing is mentioned, with staff explaining options.
  • One reviewer alleges large price reductions after challenging invoices and says they could not obtain a cost breakdown; another alleges treatment was delayed until payment was made.
