The Grove Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent, vet-owned family practice (not a corporate group).

In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention not feeling pressured into extras, and describe staff being informative and reassuring when pets are unwell; one reviewer also specifically mentions care provided for greyhounds.

Zetland Veterinary Group – Fishponds Veterinary Centre is part of the Zetland Veterinary Group. From the latest reviews, it appears set up for routine care and common procedures (for example, kitten neutering), with some cases escalated via referral: one owner says a vet identified an underlying condition and arranged a hospital referral “within a matter of minutes.” Owners also mention practical touches during appointments such as being “very informative,” giving treats during a check-up, and helping anxious owners feel at ease. A small number of recent reviews raise concerns about clinical judgement for more serious issues (including an eye ulcer) and about how complaints were handled.

Recent reviews include detailed praise for gentle handling (including taking time with nervous rescue dogs) and clear explanations during consults, alongside concerns from a small number of reviewers about cost for overnight care and one account alleging a lack of urgency/examination in a breathing-difficulty case with a poor outcome.
