Concrete specifics mentioned: - Access to 24/7 emergency care at one of Medivet’s 24-hour centres (per Medivet’s site copy). - An overnight emergency consultation fee stated as a nationwide price of £130 (for consultations between 7pm and 9am, per site copy). - A named clinician (“Edvardo”) is praised for compassionate treatment of a bird. - One reviewer highlights a cat/dog waiting-area separation issue.

Colebrook Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary practice that is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews describe first-time registrations and routine appointments for cats, including an elderly cat consult where the clinician “listened to concerns” and was described as empathetic. Several reviewers also mention strong front-desk support (welcoming/lovely receptionists) and an existing pet plan that a client felt covered their visit well. One recent reviewer, however, felt conversations were repeatedly steered toward costs and described the vets as “sales people,” so experiences appear mixed on how money and recommendations are handled.
