Animal House Vets is a multi-site veterinary clinic (its website describes four branches) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on its own service list and recent client accounts, it’s set up for day-to-day care (check-ups and vaccinations) as well as dentistry and surgery, with 24‑hour emergency care supported by out-of-hours service providers. Recent reviews describe staff who handle both pets and worried owners patiently (for example, answering “silly questions” without making owners feel judged) and being quick to fit in pressing problems. There’s also a clear split in experiences around transparency: one owner alleges they were persuaded into a non-essential procedure and weren’t clearly told what anaesthetic drugs were used after a fatal reaction, while another review says the practice was upfront about costs and helped them use insurance and a pet health plan. A repeated practical downside mentioned is long waits past appointment times.

Highcroft Veterinary Group – Ashton Veterinary Surgery is part of the Highcroft Veterinary Group and is set up as a small-animal practice offering routine care through to surgery, plus support for a wide range of species (including small pets, birds, reptiles, tortoises, poultry and fish). The practice states it has the RCVS Client Service Award – Outstanding and offers emergency support during normal hours, with out-of-hours care provided by MiNightVet Bristol (with full-time night staff). Recent reviews commonly describe staff adapting handling to anxious pets (for example, allowing a nervous cat’s owner to wait in the car before being seen) and vets being calm and reassuring during appointments. There is also a conflicting experience around costs/communication: one reviewer reports being quoted £107 for male cat castration and microchipping, then being told at the visit there was an additional £23 fee, and says the discussion happened in reception in front of other clients.

Vet Dept Bristol Zoo Gardens appears to be a veterinary department associated with a zoo rather than a standard pet veterinary practice. From the information available to us, there’s no clear evidence it offers routine appointments for pet owners (e.g., vaccinations, neutering, consultations) or that it accepts household pets at all. The strongest signals we do have come from Google reviews and they overwhelmingly describe visitor experiences at the zoo (animal exhibits, talks, food, playgrounds), not veterinary care—so they’re of limited use if you’re trying to choose a vet for a dog, cat, or other pet.

Animal House Vets is a multi-site small-animal practice (cats and dogs) offering routine care plus dentistry, surgery, and 24-hour emergency/out-of-hours support (as described on its website). Reviews describe vets who explain treatment steps clearly and, in at least one case, provide proactive follow-up calls and “next steps” after investigations for a cat. Several long-term clients mention using the practice for many years, including management of a complex chronic condition (idiopathic epilepsy) with ongoing intervention. A minority of recent reviews raise concerns about pricing and prescription policies, with one reviewer attributing pricing decisions to a wider “group” after a takeover (not independently verified in the information provided).
