Clinic Overview

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).
