Pet Doctors Guildford

Pet Doctors Guildford is a small-animal practice that’s part of the Pet Doctors Veterinary Group (established in 1998) and CVS (UK) Limited. The clinic advertises routine and preventive care alongside procedures such as dentistry, diagnostics and surgery, plus nurse-led clinics and home visits. It’s also accredited as an RCVS General Practice and a Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver).

In the latest reviews available to us, owners describe staff being notably patient with pets that have “quirks” (including repeated visits to replace a “cone of shame”), and one family reports receiving a personal note by post after their pet was put to sleep. However, there is also a serious negative account alleging an opioid overdose during treatment and an urgent transfer to another clinic.
