South Beech Veterinary Surgery is a small-animal practice established in 1973 and listed as an RCVS General Practice. It treats dogs, cats and small pets (including rabbits and guinea pigs), with in-house diagnostics such as an in-house lab, ultrasound and X‑ray. The clinic states that out-of-hours emergency consultations are provided by Earls Hall Veterinary Group. From the latest reviews available, owners often mention same-day appointments for sick pets, and clear, unrushed explanations around procedures (including discharge discussions). Reviews also include specific positives about neutering and hernia repair, alongside criticisms about pricing for annual boosters and one account of a disputed surgical decision (not removing problematic dew claws at the time of spay, leading to a second operation elsewhere).

Cherrydown Vets Ltd is a small-animal veterinary practice whose website notes additional facilities beyond the main clinic, and directs clients needing urgent care outside normal opening hours to Vets4Pets. Reviews describe a clinic used for routine care (check-ups and vaccinations) as well as urgent appointments and end-of-life care, with several owners mentioning staff checking in and making sure pets were OK after appointments.
