The Liverpool Vets – Vets in Liverpool
Clinic Overview
The Liverpool Vets is a CVS-owned small-animal practice established in 2018, treating dogs, cats and smaller pets including rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs and small cage birds. It offers a broad mix of routine and medical care, including dentistry and surgery, with out-of-hours emergencies directed to VetsNow. Recent feedback remains strongly positive overall, especially around friendly day-to-day care, quick access to appointments and thoughtful handling of anxious or unwell pets, though a small number of reviews mention waiting-time or communication frustrations.

Pricing
Published prices suggest the clinic sits around average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. Recent comments on cost are limited: one owner mentioned paying about £60 for a rat appointment and felt it was higher than they had paid elsewhere, while most recent feedback focuses more on the standard of care and access to appointments than on pricing.
