Not stated whether this is an independent practice or part of a wider veterinary group.

Rase Veterinary Centre is a 24/7 practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe pets being seen urgently at short notice and appointments where vets take time to explain options and give clear information. There are also serious complaints about communication and administration: one owner describes repeated problems obtaining a written controlled-drug prescription, and another describes a poor experience around an elderly pony’s assessment and planned euthanasia (including disputed tests and invoicing).
Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include urgent same-day/short-notice appointments for a cat, time spent explaining conditions and next steps, and prescription collection errors that led to additional travel.

Freiston Veterinary Centre is part of South Lincs Vets / Marshlands Vets (as referenced on the clinic website and in reviews) and is RCVS-accredited. The website states the practice offers referral services, and that when the surgery is closed there is a vet and a nurse on duty for emergencies and to care for hospitalised animals.
In recent reviews, owners most often describe calm handling of anxious pets (including nurses taking time to settle a nervous pug before treatment and a vet moving slowly with an anxious dog) and a clean practice environment. A small number of reviews raise serious concerns about record-keeping and communication around diagnostic results, including a report of missing ultrasound records and an incorrect sex recorded in a long-standing patient file.

Kirksvets describes itself as an established practice with over 90 years of service, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website mentions a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations.
Recent reviews suggest the clinic often handles urgent same-day problems (for example, a dog swallowing a hearing-aid battery and being seen “straight away,” then treated with charcoal paste). Owners also describe end-of-life support (a separate room offered, frequent updates, and a sympathy card sent afterwards) and, in at least one account, a focus on avoiding unnecessary tests with “no surprises on the bill.”
However, there are also sharply negative reviews describing the opposite—allegations of missed or delayed diagnosis, poor communication, and being told in a potential toxin ingestion situation that “there isn’t really anything we can do… go to another vet.”

Old Courts Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe the team handling urgent and surgical cases (including stitching after a traumatic accident and emergency surgery performed out of hours), alongside routine support such as neutering advice and end-of-life care.
Feedback is mixed: many owners describe thorough examinations and calm handling (including a dog being “so relaxed walking into” the clinic), while a small number report serious concerns—one alleging their pet wasn’t checked properly despite two visits, and another describing being refused further appointments due to a past dispute about a euthanasia recommendation.

Sleaford Vets describes itself as an independent small-animal practice and says it has been established for over 30 years. It also states it provides 24‑hour emergency care and is a veterinary nurse training facility.
From the latest reviews, it appears set up for both routine and urgent situations: owners mention same/next‑day appointments booked online, emergency slots (e.g., after seizures or sudden mobility issues), and follow‑up appointments being arranged. Surgical and end‑of‑life care also come up in detail (e.g., spaying and euthanasia support). Feedback is mixed on the front desk/administration: several owners praise individual receptionists, while others report rudeness and poor organisation, including around insurance.

Rase Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice seen in reviews treating cats and dogs for routine care (vaccinations), ongoing medication/check-ups, surgery (“op”), and end-of-life euthanasia. Owners repeatedly mention a spacious waiting room and staff who physically help with handling (for example, a vet lifting an elderly cat gently out of a carrier, and calmly managing a “snappy” German shepherd through a procedure). Decision-making and communication get mixed feedback: several reviews describe a calm, supportive experience (including a vet coming in early to accommodate an urgent euthanasia), while others allege poor communication during puppy vaccinations and concerns about misdiagnosis and high pricing.

Rase Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and urgent same-day issues: one owner was told to “go straight in” when their dog ate something unsafe and was seen immediately, with clear guidance on what signs to monitor over the next 48 hours. End-of-life care is also a recurring theme, with multiple owners describing being given time to say goodbye and receiving thoughtful bereavement touches (a candle lit in reception; a card and forget-me-not seeds after collecting ashes).
Reviews are mixed on administration and costs: some describe it as “reasonably priced,” while others warn to request detailed invoices and report problems when trying to cancel a VIP Plan. There are also reports of inconsistent follow-up communication (a promised call-back not happening).

Lincolnshire Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Based on the latest reviews, it appears set up for both routine care (including dental work) and urgent same-day situations, with multiple accounts mentioning rapid help for emergencies and clear explanations of treatment and medication. Owners also mention home visits, and one review describes a veterinary nurse delivering missing tablets after work the same day when the owner couldn’t collect them. Reviews are mostly very positive, but there is also a serious complaint alleging an unanswered emergency call and a pet death, with the reviewer stating they contacted the RCVS—so experiences reported are not entirely consistent.

Gordon K A Lochrie appears to be a small practice (no corporate/group ownership is stated in the information provided). The latest reviews repeatedly separate the clinical care from the front-desk experience: multiple reviewers describe the vet “Gordon” as good with animals, while several 1–2★ reviews focus on rude, condescending interactions with the receptionist (described by one reviewer as “the vet’s wife”). One review mentions a cat being spayed via a charity scheme and then a dispute about the correct collection time after the operation.
Concrete details mentioned in reviews include
- •Cat spaying/operation and post-op collection arrangements being discussed by phone.
- •People attempting to register a cat and reporting the receptionist’s manner as the main barrier.
- •Mixed experience reported in the same visit: “pet is looked after” but the communication with staff is described as verbally harsh by some.

A small practice centred on vet Gordon K A Lochrie, with reviews describing a very mixed client experience. Several owners say Gordon is particularly good at putting nervous pets (and anxious owners) at ease, especially in routine cat visits. In contrast, multiple reviews focus on the receptionist’s manner—described as rude/condescending, with one reviewer saying they reported verbal abuse to the police—suggesting the front-desk experience is a major deciding factor here.

Pegasus Vets describes itself as a family-run independent practice (not part of a corporate group) treating both small animals and equine patients. Recent reviews repeatedly mention hands-on medical and surgical care—ranging from dental work under anaesthetic to major surgery (a front-leg amputation in a cat) and routine neutering/spays. Owners also describe practical touches like claw-clipping appointments for indoor cats, complimentary check-ups, and a home visit for end-of-life care where the vet helped the owner cope through the process.
Out-of-hours cover is stated as provided via Vets Now for small animals, with equine out-of-hours handled directly by the practice.
