Medivet Mossley Hill is part of the Medivet group (the practice has been in the Medivet family since 2015). Based on the website, it’s set up for a broad range of first-opinion care with on-site diagnostics (in‑house lab, X‑rays and ultrasound) plus more advanced procedures like endoscopy and ECG. Out-of-hours care is handled by Medivet 24 Hour Alder, with a stated consult fee of £130 and free phone assessments. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe good communication and considerate handling of anxious pets (including dogs with separation anxiety) and support during end-of-life situations. A repeated negative signal is timekeeping/administration: one reviewer reports a 30‑minute delay and difficulty accessing a vaccination certificate they paid for, while another notes visits were “called on time” and “much better than last year,” suggesting inconsistency.
