Rase Vets

Rase Vets is part of the Rase and Aldervale Vets group, and the website states it holds RCVS Tier 3 accreditation. The clinic presents itself as set up for both routine care and more involved work, with on-site lab diagnostics and listed orthopaedic and soft-tissue surgery, plus home visits and a dedicated rehabilitation service (“Rase Rehab”).

Recent reviews include specific examples of clinical work and decision-making: one owner describes an ear infection work-up where a discharge sample was taken and analysed, followed by a targeted antibiotic that cleared the infection. Another owner reports their dog’s injured dew claw was handled with a gentle approach, careful listening, and medication. Pricing experiences are mixed: one reviewer was shocked by a £240 charge to induce vomiting and says they did not receive an invoice, while another describes prices as “fair.”
