Best Vets in Telford – Complete Local Guide

Southwater Veterinary Group presents itself as an independent practice (as described by multiple reviewers) with on-site diagnostics and surgery—including a CT scanner and theatre on site—and it also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic appears set up for both routine care and more complex cases, with the website highlighting advanced diagnostics/surgery and CT & endoscopy referrals.

Concrete examples owners mention include quieter appointment times and waiting in an empty consult room for anxious dogs, same-day thyroid blood testing with results in ~30 minutes (leaving with treatment the same day), and surgical care such as bladder stone removal and an operation on a cat’s tongue.

Companion Care (Telford) Ltd trades as Vets4Pets, indicating it’s part of the Vets4Pets group rather than an independent practice. The clinic describes itself as a modern, well‑equipped practice with in‑house diagnostics and hospitalisation facilities (including an in‑house lab, digital X‑ray/ultrasound, operating theatre, hospital ward and isolation unit, plus separated dog and cat wards). The website also states that emergency cover when closed is provided in collaboration with Vets Now.

From reviews, owners most often describe good handling and reassurance during appointments (including for nervous/large dogs and older pets), and there are specific mentions of acupuncture for a senior dog and bereavement gestures (a condolence card). However, there’s also a clear conflict: a small number of reviews describe serious dissatisfaction with clinical judgement and bedside manner, including one complaint about an euthanasia appointment and another about handling of a blocked bladder case and subsequent follow‑up.

Severn Edge Veterinary Group – Donnington is part of the Severn Edge Veterinary Group and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on owners’ accounts, the branch sees routine preventative care (e.g., puppy vaccinations) as well as end‑of‑life visits; multiple reviewers describe receiving a handwritten condolence/sympathy card about a week after losing a pet. Reviews also suggest occasional friction around front‑desk/administrative interactions, including one owner who reports insurance payment issues and another who describes being told they could no longer attend with their pet due to a situation involving a receptionist.

Wrekin View Veterinary Practice is an independent, non-corporate companion-animal practice with four vets, and the website notes it holds Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Accreditation. The clinic appears set up for routine care (including puppy/kitten checks and dentistry) as well as urgent and surgical cases—with reviews describing an emergency caesarean section on a Saturday and “major surgery” with recovery. Owners also repeatedly mention support during end-of-life visits, including staff helping during a pet’s final appointment and providing practical, emotional support.

Medivet Oakengates is part of the Medivet group and is led (per the practice website) by veterinary surgeon Duncan Senior. Based on the clinic’s stated facilities and the latest reviews, it looks set up for both routine care (vaccinations, parasite care, check-ups, tablets) and urgent same-day problems—owners describe being offered an appointment “within the hour” and getting a same-day emergency slot for a sick cat.

A few concrete details owners mention include: being given a quiet room and time to talk through decisions during an end-of-life visit for an injured kitten, staff working patiently with a reactive rescue dog through regular visits (treats/play to build tolerance of handling), and clear explanations around puppy vaccinations.
