Best Vets in Nottingham – Complete Local Guide

Lawrence Veterinary Centre offers routine and surgical care for a range of small pets (including cats, dogs and several small mammals) and is listed as an RCVS Cat Friendly Clinic. The website highlights preventative care (vaccinations, microchipping, wellness screening), surgery, and referral work (cardiology), alongside nurse-led clinics and K‑Laser therapy. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly describe a calm, cat-focused setup (including a separate cat area mentioned by one reviewer) and practical steps to reduce stress—such as calming sprays and blankets for cat carriers provided free of charge. Multiple reviews also mention staff taking time to explain options and handle nervous or difficult-to-examine pets (including an “angry cat” needing a thorough exam).

Eastwood Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group. Based on review detail, the practice appears set up for a wide range of small-animal work, with repeated mentions of care for “exotics” and birds (budgies, chinchillas, rabbits) as well as dogs. Owners often describe vets getting physically down to a dog’s eye level to greet them, clear explanations of what will be done (including for a wild animal brought in), and reception handling practicalities like care plans, medications and insurance claims. One recent account strongly conflicts with this, alleging a missed serious heart/lung problem after a brief exam and being advised dental extractions instead.

Pawsome Vets Ltd is an independent small-animal practice that treats dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, with digital X‑ray and ultrasound listed on its website. Reviews describe a clinic set up for both routine care and common surgeries (spays/neuters) as well as sensitive end-of-life appointments.

Concrete examples owners mention include

• •Surgery updates via an app during a spay, followed by a next-day check-in message and two post-op check appointments.
• •A team that phones during recovery to discuss extra treatment (e.g., asking permission to give an anti-sickness injection when a dog was drooling post-op).
• •Not rushing appointments and explaining options clearly, including for a dog with suspected testicular cancer needing an urgent operation.
• •Extra care taken during euthanasia discussions, including adapting communication so an owner with dementia could understand what was happening.

The Pet Vet Nottingham is part of The Pet Vet group (the clinic branding and website sit under the thepetvet.co.uk network). The website describes a practice set up for both routine and emergency treatment, with on-site diagnostics (including X-ray, ultrasound, dental X-ray, and an in-house laboratory) and a broad surgical/medical offering.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe

• •Dental work (including teeth cleaning/“teeth done”), with one owner choosing the clinic specifically because of a dental offer.
• •Surgery and post-op support, including a dog eye surgery with “excellent” at-home care instructions afterwards.
• •Extra time for nervous pets, including allowing an owner to stay with a nervous dog pre- and post-op so the dog could settle.
• •End-of-life care, with multiple reviews thanking named staff for the way a pet’s passing was handled.

Medivet Sherwood is part of the Medivet group (a corporate veterinary provider). Based on owner reports, the team is often dealing with routine preventive care (annual vaccinations and flea treatment) as well as in-clinic procedures like dental work, and they’re set up to handle nervous or reactive pets with extra time and desensitisation-style visits. Owners also describe staff recognising them and their pets by name, and a “team effort” approach around procedures such as a dog dental.

The wider Medivet website also states access to 24-hour emergency care via one of Medivet’s emergency centres, with a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 (7pm–9am).
