Wendover Heights Veterinary Centre has provided veterinary care for over 40 years and is RCVS-accredited. It treats cats, dogs and horses, and is also a veterinary nurse training facility. Owners most often describe a practice that takes time to explain options (so they feel “informed and empowered”) and handles both routine care (for example, first vaccinations for kittens) and urgent situations (for example, rapid response after a dog ate raisins). A distinctive practical feature mentioned is a separate cat area/building, which owners say helps keep cats calmer away from dogs. The practice also offers routine late-evening appointments until 8:15pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (at its main branch).

The Ralph Veterinary Referral Centre is an independent referral hospital for dogs and cats, set up for complex cases with 24/7/365 Emergency + Critical Care.

Jed and Friends Veterinary Surgery
Bletchley
Our Score (87/100)
Jed and Friends Veterinary Surgery is described by reviewers as a practice that takes time over consultations and offers procedures beyond routine check-ups—most notably BOAS (brachycephalic airway) surgery and dental procedures under general anaesthetic. Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of treatment options, and examples include a vet talking through how widening nostrils and shortening the soft palate would help a dog’s breathing before BOAS surgery. Perception of the practice’s “independent vs corporate” feel is mixed: several reviewers explicitly describe it as feeling different from a corporate practice or call it independent, while one reviewer describes their visit as “a truly unpleasant, corporate experience” focused on customer service. Concrete points owners mention: - BOAS surgery outcomes: one owner reports “night and day” improvement in breathing and energy after surgery. - Dental work under general anaesthetic: multiple cats receiving dental procedures are specifically mentioned. - Support for nervous pets: a fearful dog was handled in a way the owner felt made the visit positive. - Waiting/ punctuality: at least one reviewer notes the clinic “may not be on time,” but felt the longer appointments were worth it.
