Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Rowe Veterinary Group runs six practices and positions itself as a first‑opinion provider for a wide mix of species (dogs, cats, small furries, birds and exotic animals). The group also describes access to a 24‑hour hospital (separately located) and an MRI facility (at another surgery). Recent reviews repeatedly mention smooth, well‑organised appointments and staff who take time to explain options and next steps. There’s also a clear negative account about how results were handled for a poorly dog (stool test results not communicated for days, and being told only one specific vet could discuss them), alongside a complaint about a higher-than-expected price for the same testing.
Concrete specifics owners mention include a “cats only clinic”, support with pet weight loss plans, and a waiting/seating area that felt well thought out and helped an anxious first-time visitor feel more at ease.
