Priory Veterinary Practice Stamford Ltd describes itself as a small, independently owned practice (with two sites). Recent reviews repeatedly mention a calm, structured environment (including a reception area separated for dogs and cats/other animals) and vets who are willing to be thorough at first presentation (one owner describes blood tests, a scan, and a health check on the first visit for a second opinion). Owners also describe support around operations (including “minor operations” and an “operation” where the pet was “very well cared for”), and bereavement support (a sympathy card and “Forget Me Not” seeds after a pet died; a separate review describes euthanasia carried out at the owner’s home).

Stamford Veterinary Centre is a first-opinion small-animal practice that also accepts second-opinion cardiac referral cases, and it states it runs its own out-of-hours emergency service. The clinic is equipped for on-site diagnostics (including in-house blood testing, ultrasound, ECG, endoscopy, digital X‑ray, and dentistry), and the website describes separate dog and cat waiting areas plus hospital wards with calming diffusers. Recent reviews most often highlight gentle handling during exams (including for elderly pets), clear explanations to owners, and a consistently friendly experience—though one reviewer describes an unfriendly interaction with reception when bringing in a found dog for microchip checks.

Welland Valley Vets Ltd describes itself as a small, independent veterinary practice. Recent reviews repeatedly mention a change of ownership and emphasise that it has not become part of a chain, with several owners naming Rachel as the new practice owner. Based on the website and the latest reviews, the practice appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccines/boosters, health checks) as well as common medical problems requiring monitoring, with examples including an eye issue that led to hospitalisation and support for an elderly diabetic cat. Concrete details owners mention include thorough examinations during routine vaccine visits, clear explanations, and updates provided while a pet was hospitalised. One review also mentions being offered a free weight check when registering a new puppy.
