Farm & Large-Animal Vets in Bristol

Elite Kennel Fertility LTD is a canine-fertility-focused veterinary clinic offering assisted reproduction services for dogs, including semen work (collection, assessment, freezing, storage/distribution) and insemination (including transcervical insemination). It’s also recognised by The Kennel Club Respiratory Grading Scheme for BOAS testing.

From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe a smooth, explained step-by-step process and responsive communication (including email replies), with multiple mentions of educational events (seminars/talks) and a tour of the facilities.

LLM Farm Vets appears set up primarily for farm-animal work (based on the clinic name and multiple reviews reacting to its involvement with the farming industry). The structured clinic data lists emergency veterinary services available around the clock. Review signals are mixed: several recent 1‑star reviews are protests about vets participating in farming, while older comments mention “support night and day” and a “super friendly” experience. A few reviews talk about “meals” and “good food,” which may not relate to veterinary care and could indicate some reviews are misattributed.

LLM Farm Vets is a farm-only veterinary practice established in 1999, focused on supporting livestock clients (dairy, beef and sheep) and describing its work in terms of improving livestock performance and profitability. The practice also references a pharmacy service on its site.

Owner feedback is mixed and sometimes hard to interpret: some reviews mention “excellent support night and day” and a friendly team, while several 1‑star reviews criticise the practice on principle for being part of the farming industry rather than describing specific clinical care. A couple of reviews talk about “food/meals,” which may indicate some reviews are not about veterinary services.

Horizon Dairy Vets describes itself as a dedicated dairy-focused veterinary practice, set up specifically to support dairy farms rather than general small-animal work. From the clinic’s own information, its emphasis is on “straight talking” veterinary input and on challenging both “what” is being done on farm and “how” it’s being done (a consultancy-style, management-focused approach rather than only treating individual cases). It also states it provides a 24-hour contact number for enquiries.

Tibbs and Simmons Farm Vets Ltd appears primarily oriented toward farm and equine work, with multiple owners discussing horse/pony care and one reviewer explicitly describing the vet they saw as a “large farm animals” vet. The available reviews include detailed equine call-out experiences (including night-time attendance and follow-up phone check-ins) alongside a sharply critical account of a small-animal visit involving blood sampling, medication dispensing, and billing confusion. No corporate group ownership is stated in the information provided.

Concrete examples mentioned by reviewers include

• •Night-time on-call attendance for a horse with colic symptoms, plus regular phone check-ins and a second visit around midnight.
• •Treatment and advice ranging from routine injections to managing acute stress laminitis in a mare.
• •A small-animal (cat) visit involving blood work and repeat medication, where the owner reported a difficult blood draw attempt, unclear medication explanation, and a later £50 bill that the practice reportedly said was “sent in error”.
