I have been coming to this practice for two years. Today I had an appointment for a simple vaccination for one of my cats, a stray I adopted from the street. She is a very nervous cat because of her c... See more

Corporate Culture 4 Pets
Each vet we saw was good - 4 in less than 3 months. Here the high turnover of vets might hint at some issues with this business. And the emphasis here is on business. This is far from an animal charity; profit seems central. We've had a very unhappy experience overall with Village Vet. Avoid, choose instead a single vet practice rather than a chain like Village Vet. The business model leaves something to be desired. It's a real shame as some staff members were very nice. However the management of this business seems viperish. If you get good care here, great. But if you feel uncomfortable, trust your gut and move on asap.

Avoid at all cost!
Took my cat with injured left hind leg as he couldn't walk and even I took few videos at home for a vet to see and easier diagnose the problem. Still vet was insisting that is his right leg which hurts and I couldn't prove it other ways! He told me that he checked right leg, it's fine and open the door for us to leave! What kinda vet do not understand which leg is injured! And still charges 218£ for it!?
By the way his left leg was broken, we find out that at another veterinary

Sadly we had to have our tiny much loved family pet seen as an emergency after he was attacked by a large dog in Belmore Lane N7 and the visit resulted in him needling to be our go sleep.
This was because he was a very old dog with chronic health issues who wouldn’t have managed emergency surgery.
The two female vets on shift went above and beyond to give him a dignified death as we speak in the middle of the corona virus outbreak by bringing him out to say goodbye and spending an hour to calm him down first .
I’m beyond impressed and if you should have an emergency or live near Belsize Park and want unbelievable care this is a great vet.
STAY CLEAR
Stay clear, disgusted by the cost. In the Cambs area I had quotes nearly 50% less in some cases vs our total bill. Took my cat in with a swollen limp. With no other course of action recommended was straight to we will need to do an x-ray, with that practice suggested he stay in overnight, when asked about the additional cost were told it wouldn't make much difference £30 despite only living 15 mins away. Next thing I know £700 bill for a cat with no injuries and charged £110 for overnight stay, he had just been in a fight and got swollen limp, surely you would of thought this might have been considered when checking him over, maybe go home for couple of days, give him some pain relief see how you get on - no this was even an option discussed. To top this off we had been a village vet customer for over 10 years, clearly not anymore. I wouldn't recommend this practice to anyone that didn't want to pay way over the odds in my opinion. Disappointing and shocked. Plus the run around by the practice when trying to get an answer around cost/bill, the manager well lets leave it there!!

My dogs love Village Vet :)
Yes, Village Vet are a tad overpriced but I always receive a great service from them. My dog is actually excited to go to the vet because the receptionists and vets take the time to build a confident and caring relationship with the animals. Bottom line: I would definitely recommend.

Outstanding - very highly recommended
My cat Elvis has a number of complex health issues and has always been beautifully looked after by Danny Parry at Village Vet Garden Suburb. He recently had an ulcer in his eye (his only eye) that needed urgent surgery, which was performed by Simon Hayes at Village Vet Winchmore Hill. Due to Elvis's particular combination of health problems the prognosis hadn't been great, but thanks to the skill, care and compassion he received he has just been given the all-clear. I am absolutely thrilled at the outcome and I can't thank enough the wonderful staff who looked after him. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Village Vet to any pet owner.

They only money
They only money. Their vets are also trained in sales and know how to exploit you when your pet is ill. Will never use them again a total rip off
Great Service and Good Vet.
Had to get an emergency appointment for a Sunday because my cat went missing for a few days and came back with a nasty injury to his tail that was infected.
Andre did a thorough examination, patched him up, gave him antibiotics and explained all to me. Frank has another appointment to check on his wound but is on the road to recovery.
The practice even helped with the insurance claim which was unexpected, would definitely recommend them.

Easily one of the best vets in South East England
We have been bringing our pets to Village Vet in Highgate for nearly 20 years and have always found them to be excellent. Thorough in their investigations of our animals' health and very professional. Perhaps most importantly, they seem to have a genuine love and care for animals themselves; everone we've dealt with their from the reception staff to the senior vets all seem to be animal owners themselves and have as much interest in the welfare of their patients as if they were their own pets. They offer very good advice as well, from the choice of treatments to the best way to insure your animal to minimise the impact of vets' bills. Very much recommended.
