The clinic also holds Silver Cat Friendly status (International Society of Feline Medicine) and a Plastic Free accreditation (Surfers Against Sewage).

From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe appointments where staff take time to discuss concerns and explain what’s needed, don’t rush, and show particular patience with nervous cats. A couple of reviewers also mention the team being willing to answer lots of questions and help remotely (by phone/email), and support during pet loss.

Tamar Vets Ltd is presented in the available data as an independent practice (no corporate group mentioned). It’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews repeatedly describe the clinic as set up to fit in urgent/same-day cases even when fully booked, including pets seen “very quickly” for emergency appointments and being accommodated on a bank holiday Saturday. Owners also describe low-stress handling (for example, a vet getting down to a nervous dog’s level and speaking softly, giving him time) and thorough, unrushed consults where explanations were given throughout the exam and questions were answered.

Wave Vets describes itself as a small, independent clinic founded by a family. Reviews suggest it’s set up for routine appointments and urgent same‑day problems (for example, a dog with a leg injury was seen the same day, and another review describes an unplanned emergency visit), with vets giving clear explanations (including one owner mentioning a diagram used to explain findings). Several owners also mention practical support outside the consult room, such as phone advice that avoided an unnecessary visit, and end‑of‑life care described as attentive. A minority view in recent reviews is that costs can feel high and that recheck appointments can feel like an added charge rather than reassurance.

Owners also mention pets being handled in a way that reduces stress (e.g., a cat described as “loved them” during a check-up/vaccination visit).

Out-of-hours arrangements are described on the clinic website as being provided by CVets; the structured clinic data also lists “Emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours),” so the exact out‑of‑hours setup is unclear from the information provided.

Albert Cottage Veterinary Clinic (ownership/group not stated) offers routine care alongside in-house diagnostics and onward referral when needed. The clinic website lists services including vaccinations, neutering, dentistry, microchipping, diagnostic imaging, soft tissue surgery and wellness screening, and it treats a wide range of species (dogs and cats plus small mammals, birds and reptiles). Reviews add practical detail: owners describe blood tests, X‑rays (“trays”) and scans being done promptly for a seriously ill dog, followed by rapid recognition of a specific condition (IMTP) and referral to a specialist. A recurring operational note is that some appointments can involve a wait, even for repeat items, though one reviewer mentions a recent upgrade that made reception “more animal friendly.”

St Clement Vet operates under Peregrine Vet Centres Ltd. Based on what clients describe, the practice is regularly used for same-need appointments (lameness during a trip, a puppy eating incident, lethargy/loss of appetite) and for problem-solving consults with tests and medication. Reviews give a mixed picture: some owners describe thorough testing, clear advice and fair charging, while others report being rushed, not listened to, and charged for a very short consult. Reception/front-desk experiences also conflict, ranging from “good customer service” when busy to “grumpy” and unhelpful.

Concrete examples mentioned include

From the latest reviews, owners most often mention

• •On-time appointments and pets being treated immediately in at least one case.
• •Staff taking time to explain what they’re doing as they go, especially helpful for first-time dog owners.

The latest reviews available to us, however, mostly discuss small-animal care (cats and dogs)—including end-of-life support for cats, a short-notice appointment for a dog, and routine care such as claw clipping and discussing/removing a skin tag/lump—so the public-facing experience described by reviewers doesn’t fully match the farm-only emphasis of the website.

Decision-relevant signals from reviews are mixed: some owners describe long-term continuity and very supportive end-of-life care, while others report serious concerns about administration/insurance paperwork, communication tone around payment, and one account of feeling pressured into euthanasia.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe vets taking time with anxious animals (including boosters for a very nervous dog) and giving thorough examinations and explanations.

Rock View Veterinary Surgery is used for a mix of routine and ill-pet care, with reviews mentioning cat neutering/spaying, dog support, and even treatment of an elderly rescue hen. Several owners describe reassuring, gentle handling (for example, a vet talking to a nervous hen during the exam), while others report serious concerns about communication and clinical aftercare—particularly around a kitten being sent home soon after spaying while still unsteady, with glue on the abdomen and an infection developing afterward.

Clifton Villa Veterinary Surgery is a small-animal practice established in 1984, with out-of-hours care provided by MiNightVet (a dedicated emergency service with full-time night staff for urgent critical care). The website describes in-house diagnostics (lab work, X‑ray, ultrasound), and lists capabilities including keyhole surgery, orthopaedics, internal medicine, and exotic medicine; it’s also accredited to RCVS Core Standards and is a Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver).

From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention being seen quickly for urgent problems (including a dog hit by a car and a severe allergic reaction after a wasp sting), and describe follow-up communication after a consultation in at least one case. Reviews also conflict sharply on handling style and competence in one appointment: one owner alleges rough handling of a heavily pregnant cat and uncertainty over parasite treatment safety, while other owners describe gentle handling (including of a guinea pig) and clear explanation of options.

Kernow Veterinary Group is a multi-practice veterinary group (operating several clinics under the same name). The clinic is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility, and structured clinic data also flags emergency veterinary services (described as 24/7 or extended hours, with no further detail provided).

The only written feedback available to us (from a single reviewer) describes an appointment where the owner felt they were spoken to rudely about their dog’s weight, and later believes the clinic missed signs of a serious underlying problem (a spleen tumour) that another vet diagnosed after the dog collapsed.

St Clement Veterinary Clinic offers appointment-based consultations (often available at short notice), surgical procedures, radiography, in-house laboratory testing, and dentistry with dedicated dental facilities. The website also states that emergencies are prioritised and that free nurse clinics are available, with house visits that can be arranged.

Recent reviews are sharply mixed. Some owners describe lifesaving care and “absolutely superb service,” while several others report distressing experiences around euthanasia (including not being given time to say goodbye, poor communication during the appointment, and handling concerns). One review also alleges a dog died under anaesthetic during a tooth extraction.

CVets Cornwall Veterinary Emergency Treatment Service provides out-of-hours emergency cover for small animal patients when daytime veterinary services are closed, and was formed in 2007 by local veterinary surgeons. The website describes overnight and weekend emergency cover, with step-free access via a ramp and an accessible consulting room and patient toilet.

From the latest reviews available, the clinical response in urgent situations is often described in practical terms (for example, staff meeting an owner on arrival and taking an injured cat straight through for treatment, and another case where a cat was checked twice in one night after trauma). However, multiple reviewers also describe problems with front-desk interactions—particularly around tone and payment conversations—while praising specific vets for acting quickly once the animal was seen.
