Medivet Aigburth

Medivet Aigburth is part of the Medivet group. It’s set up for routine care and urgent same-day assessments, with reviews describing treatment for injuries (cat fight wounds/bruising) and an emergency presentation that led to an overnight stay and medication. Owners repeatedly mention smooth practicalities (online booking, minimal waiting) and staff taking time to handle nervous or fractious pets calmly (including “little visits” to help a nervous puppy).

Concrete specifics owners describe include

• •Fitting in a pet they suspected was an emergency despite being fully booked, followed by an overnight stay and medication.
• •Handling a cat in pain and “cross” with calming techniques during examination.
• •Routine check-ups and vaccinations (“jab”) with clear explanation and reassurance.
• •Advice aimed at confidence-building for a nervous puppy (suggested short, non-treatment visits).

Services

• •Emergency/urgent care: Reviews describe suspected emergency triage even when the diary was full, with an overnight stay and medication afterwards.
• •24/7 emergency arrangements (group-wide): The website states a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee applies for consultations between 7pm and 9am.
• •Routine consultations and preventive care: Routine health checks and vaccinations are explicitly mentioned.
• •Injury assessment and pain management: Examination of wounds and bruising after a fight, with pain relief provided (and no further treatment needed in that case).
• •Behavioural support/advice: Training/handling advice for a very nervous puppy; suggestion of short “practice visits” to build comfort with the clinic.
• •Veterinary Nurse Training facility: Listed in the clinic data.

Pricing

• •Overnight emergency consultation fee: £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am (as stated on the website).
• •One reviewer comments that the practice is expensive, without giving specific prices.

People

• •Adrianna (vet): Mentioned in multiple reviews for calming and handling cats who were stressed or in pain, and for a thorough routine check-up and vaccination. One owner highlighted “soothed him expertly” during an injury visit.
• •Dr. Alex: Praised for taking time to explain things clearly and reassuringly, particularly around care planning for an ageing dog.
• •Wider team (reception, nurses, vets): Several owners describe staff remembering pets and making a fuss of them, and being accommodating when a pet seemed to need urgent attention.
