Medivet Whitchurch Barclay Moore Partnership

Medivet Whitchurch Barclay Moore Partnership is part of the Medivet group. Based on the information available, it handles both routine care (e.g., nail/claw trims, microchipping) and ongoing medical monitoring (e.g., senior cat blood tests for thyroid/kidney levels), and it also states it provides 24/7 emergency care with an overnight consultation fee. 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.

Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include

• •Nail/claw trims and “toe-nails done” visits described as calm and kind.
• •Microchipping for a nervous rescue dog, with the vet sitting on the floor to settle the dog beforehand.
• •Six‑monthly blood tests for an almost‑20‑year‑old cat’s thyroid and kidney monitoring, with a vet suggesting an additional full blood count via an external lab and promising a call when results arrived.
• •Overnight emergency pricing explicitly referenced in the clinic’s information (and also discussed in reviews).

• •24/7 emergency care, with an overnight consultation fee stated as applicable between 7pm and 9am (see Pricing).

• •One reviewer specifically described out-of-hours pricing as “absolutely ridiculous” despite good service at 2am (no additional amounts given beyond the stated overnight fee).

People

• •Reviews repeatedly mention reception staff as friendly/helpful on first contact, and vets/nurses as gentle with nervous animals—examples include a vet sitting on the floor to comfort a scared rescue dog before microchipping, and staff describing a cat as a “perfect gentleman” after bloods and a claw trim.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.8 stars from 207 reviews. “”

• •Gentle handling, especially with anxious pets: a vet sat on the floor giving cuddles to a scared rescue dog before microchipping; nail/claw trim visits described as kind and “wonderful.”
• •Communication and follow-through: owners describe vets taking time to listen and explain; one review notes a promise to call promptly with blood-test results after recommending additional testing.
• •Ongoing care for older pets: one detailed account covers regular six‑monthly blood monitoring for an elderly cat, including attention to weight changes and adjusting the testing plan.
• •Cost and urgency concerns exist alongside praise: one reviewer felt overnight care was very expensive (despite “great” service), and another alleges inadequate urgency/examination in a respiratory case with a fatal outcome; these contrast with multiple recent 5‑star experiences.
