Clinic Overview

Medivet Speke is part of the Medivet group. The practice appears set up for routine care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping, neutering, dental procedures) alongside urgent same-day problems, with out-of-hours cover routed to a Medivet 24 Hour hospital (phone assessment free; consult fee £130). Recent reviews describe staff taking extra time with nervous pets (including working in the waiting room to reassure a anxious dog and respecting a fearful dog’s boundaries), and one owner reports the practice stayed open late to see a sick dog and the vet “Alexander” worked through lunch to fit in urgent treatment. There’s also a contrasting report of a prolonged complaints process and an allegation of negligence and poor follow-up.

People

  • Alexander (vet): named in multiple reviews. Owners describe him spending time calming a nervous dog before an exam, working through his lunch hour to fit in urgent treatment, and being part of a team that helped a frightened dog tolerate a check-up by respecting boundaries and building trust.

Reviews

4.6 stars from 239 reviews. - Several owners describe staff making extra time for anxious or fearful pets (reassuring dogs before exams; working within a dog’s boundaries to rebuild trust).

  • Urgent access is specifically mentioned: keeping the practice open late after an evening call, and fitting in urgent follow-up the next day.
  • A pricing/process concern appears in one review: a regular monthly visit became nearly £30 more expensive due to an added consultation fee, with the owner saying there was no warning.
  • A serious negative account alleges negligence and a very slow complaints process, including lack of response via a third-party complaint route (VCMS), which conflicts with other owners’ positive experiences.
