Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Medivet Horncastle is part of the Medivet group and sees a mix of routine and more involved cases for cats, dogs, rabbits and other small mammals. The clinic advertises 15‑minute consultations, nurse clinics and in-house diagnostics (laboratory, X‑ray and ultrasound), with out‑of‑hours care provided by Vets Now (as stated on the practice website). From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention pets being settled at the clinic (including a dog staying in for the day after an operation) and staff using practical touches like greeting pets with treats. One recent review sharply conflicts with this overall tone, alleging a major last‑minute change to an estimated cost for a tail amputation.

Vet On The Corner describes itself as a family-owned, one-vet practice. Recent reviews suggest the clinic has changed ownership, with one owner saying this wasn’t clear from the website at the time they joined. Feedback is mixed: several recent reviewers describe the team (including Grace) “going above and beyond,” while a detailed 1‑star account describes a traumatic blood-draw attempt from a cat’s neck and concerns about communication around an insurance-claim admin fee. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - A blood sample attempt described as being taken from a cat’s neck, with the owner reporting it caused distress and bleeding. - A stated insurance-claim admin fee of £27.50 (reported by one reviewer). - Multiple reviewers explicitly referencing new ownership / changed ownership. - Named vet/team member Grace being credited for helping with a pet when another vet “let us down.”
