Clinic Overview

Speke Vets for Pets is a newly opened, purpose-built practice operating as part of the Vets for Pets franchise (inside a Pets at Home store). The website lists a broad set of on-site capabilities (including in‑house lab testing, imaging like X‑ray/ultrasound, and dedicated dog/cat wards), while recent reviews focus heavily on time spent in appointments and support through difficult decisions.

Concrete specifics owners mention include

  • Being able to speak to a person quickly when contacting the practice (rather than automated messages).
  • Emergency surgery and close follow-up, including staff coming in on a day off and staying after closing to provide continued care in one case.
  • Taking time to talk owners through options and questions without making appointments feel rushed.
  • Support for nervous pets (owners mention cats and a small dog becoming calmer/more confident over time) and allowing owners to stay with pets during euthanasia.

Out-of-hours care is stated to be provided by Vets Now (as listed on the website).
