Priory Veterinary Practice Bourne Ltd – Vets in Bourne
Clinic Overview
Priory Veterinary Practice Bourne Ltd describes itself as a small, independently owned practice (with two sites). Based on the latest reviews available to us, it seems set up for everyday medical care and urgent same-day problems, with multiple owners mentioning being fitted in despite a full diary, clear explanations of options, and a willingness to work within a budget (including instalment payments in one case).
Clinic-specific details owners describe include
- •Being told to “pop in” and seen between appointments when a dog was unwell after a walk, leading to a steroid injection for a suspected allergic reaction.
- •Staff “getting to the bottom of” health issues in foster kittens, with both later described as healthy.
- •End-of-life support mentioned in more than one review, including kindness during euthanasia and sensitive communication.
- •Cost comparisons versus previous practices are a recurring point, including medication said to be half the price elsewhere and an example visit/treatment costing £11.
Services
Services explicitly referenced in the information provided include
- •Urgent assessments/same-day problem visits (one dog seen between appointments when the clinic was fully booked).
- •Clinical examinations and treatment for skin/allergy-type flare-ups, including a steroid injection for suspected allergic reaction with swelling/redness.
- •Medical management using steroids and antibiotics (described as “upping her steroids” and trying “another course of antibiotics” for an elderly dog).
- •Cat illness care with discussion of options and follow-up treatment (details of the specific treatment weren’t stated).
- •Care for kittens with investigation of underlying issues (exact diagnostics not specified).
- •Euthanasia/end-of-life care (multiple accounts of supportive handling at the time of saying goodbye).
Pricing
Only specific prices mentioned in reviews
- •£11 for a visit where a dog was checked thoroughly and given a steroid injection for a suspected allergic reaction.
- •Multiple owners say pricing was lower than previous vets, including one stating their dog’s medication was half the price elsewhere (no £ figure given).
People
Named team members mentioned by reviewers
- •Tom (vet) — described as calmly and sensitively explaining a cat’s situation and the options available, and being “lovely with our cat.”
- •Vicki — credited with suggesting medical options (e.g., adjusting steroids / trying antibiotics) rather than immediately proceeding to euthanasia, and with taking account of the owner’s lack of insurance and budget.
- •Reception team — repeatedly described as kind and understanding; one review specifically mentions being told to come in immediately for a suddenly ill cat, and another mentions receptionists being emotionally supportive during euthanasia. One owner also reports the practice agreed to bill instalments when they couldn’t pay in full at once.

After using a vets in Peterborough before, I am so pleased we moved to Priory Vets. All the staff are friendly and helpful and the cost is far less than our previous vets. Would highly recommend, and thank you for your great service.

I foster kittens, recently had two who had been poorly. The vets ive seen at the practice have been top notch in getting to the bottom of their issues. Both are now very healthy.

First visit to the practice today, the staff were friendly and efficient and the vet was great with my very reactive dog! I am also very pleased with the reasonable pricing- my dogs medication was half the price I was charged at my previous vets. Would 100% recommend.

Having used Alder Vets and Animates, I can safely say Priory Vets are far superior in every single way. For example, we just took our dog in because was acting strange, licking his paws etc. after a walk up the woods. They said to pop in, even though they were fully booked and managed to see him between appointments, gave him a thorough check over, took their time and provided him with a steroid injection with the assumption he had an allergic reaction due to his leg being slightly swollen and red. Cost us £11. The vets are so calm, they don’t confuse anything, make you worry, all he said after the injection was ‘all fixed’ and smiled. Told us to let us know if were concerned about anything else and wished us a good evening. Contrast to animates and it would have gone like this. “Well, it could be this in which case if we don’t treat it now he might die, and this option is £700, but then it could easily just be this and with this cream, which costs £60, might work or it could be this in which case he needs to stay in over night for observation which will cost £350.” And then they make you choose, even though you’re not an expert or a vet for that matter, almost guilt tripping you into the most expensive option because if you don’t choose that one then do you really even love your dog? I know I’m exaggerating, but I can tell you with certainty that trip would have cost over £100 with animates. Save yourself the money, the stress and the hassle and just switch to Priory, you’ll thank me later👍🏻

Very sadly 😥 I had to say goodbye to my dear companion of 10 years . But the staff at Priory couldn't have been kinder or more caring . Highly praised care at such a sad time.

We cannot fault Priory Vets, (Bourne). Our cat was suddenly taken ill & was clearly in need of veterinary intervention. The Receptionist was so kind & understanding &, without hesitation, told us to come to the surgery immediately. On arrival, the kindness continued & the vet, Tom, was brilliant calmly & sensitively explaining everything to us & the options we could consider. He was lovely with our cat too! Following treatment, the Practice was happy to allow us to pay the Bill in two instalments, as we couldn't pay the full amount in one go. A wonderful Veterinary Practice & everyone involved was totally professional whilst remaining empathetic & caring. Thank you.

I seriously wouldn't go anywhere else. They keep your pet alive as long as humanely possible.. 2 times I thought my dog was ready to be pts & Vicki would gently say why don't we just try upping her steroids? Or let's try another course of antibiotics! They know I'm not insured as have elderly dogs! They understand I'm on minimum wage, but they have never pushed treatments on me that I can't afford. For this empathy & compassion from the front desk receptionists who cried with me when my old girl Gracie was pts..I will be forever grateful! They are not just vets they are compassionate humans trying to make ours & our animals lives better. They understand if you can't pay a large bill in one go.. they trust us as pet owners.. I trust them as vets. Priory are the best. Thank you all. RACH
