Priory Veterinary Practice Bourne Ltd

Priory Veterinary Practice Bourne Ltd is a small, independently owned practice with two sites. It appears well set up for routine medical care, urgent same-day problems, and compassionate support in more difficult situations, with owners repeatedly mentioning calm explanations, being fitted in quickly, and thoughtful handling of nervous pets. Reviews also continue to highlight good value compared with other local vets, including some flexibility around costs.

Services

• •Routine and general medical care for dogs and cats, with reviews describing thorough check-ups, clear discussion of options, and ongoing treatment plans.
• •Urgent assessments and same-day problem visits, including a dog being seen between appointments when the diary was full after becoming unwell on a walk.
• •Treatment for skin or allergy-type flare-ups, including a reported case involving swelling and redness where a dog received a steroid injection.
• •Medical management including steroids and antibiotics, with one earlier review noting a willingness to adjust treatment rather than move straight to euthanasia.
• •Cat and kitten care, including reports of vets working through underlying problems in foster kittens, with both later doing well.
• •Support for nervous or reactive dogs, with recent owners specifically praising the team’s handling of very reactive pets.
• •Euthanasia and end-of-life care, with multiple owners mentioning kindness, sensitivity, and supportive communication at a very difficult time.

Pricing

Published prices suggest the clinic sits below average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. Reviewers often describe the practice as cheaper than previous vets or reasonably priced, including one reported £11 visit for an urgent check and steroid injection, and another owner who said their dog’s medication was half the price charged elsewhere.

People

Named team members mentioned by owners include Tom (vet), praised for calm and sensitive explanations, and Vicki, who was appreciated for discussing medical options with budget in mind. The reception team is also repeatedly described as kind and helpful, including in urgent situations and during end-of-life visits. More recent feedback also speaks warmly about the wider vets and support staff, especially their patience with reactive dogs and their friendly, professional manner.
