Best Rated Veterinary Clinics in Penryn, Cornwall
Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Cornish Paws Veterinary Practice is described as a veterinary nurse training facility (this is explicitly listed in the clinic data). Owners’ reviews most often point to unrushed consults with detailed explanations and structured, proactive communication around procedures—for example, pre-op reminder calls, transparent pricing discussions, post-op updates, and booked follow-ups after a spay. Concrete examples mentioned in reviews include: - Spay care with multiple updates: a reminder call the day before, a call about 2 hours after drop-off to confirm the dog was out of surgery, and a later call to confirm collection time; feeding/watering and toilet break before discharge; after-care info and a follow-up appointment booked. - Low-stress handling for cats: one vet let a cat come out of the carrier in their own time, didn’t restrain unnecessarily, and explained findings in detail. - Routine preventative care referenced: boosters plus flea and worm treatments. One recent review reports a serious issue: a refusal to provide vaccination treatment for a new puppy following a prior disagreement with a family member, with the reviewer stating they did not receive an email the practice said had been sent.

Rosemullion Veterinary Practice - Penryn is part of a “fully equipped small animal hospital” setup (established in 1885) with advanced diagnostic imaging listed on its site (CT, x‑ray and ultrasound) and 24/7 emergency cover with on-site night staff via MiNightVet. The practice also lists top-level accreditations: RCVS Practice Standards Scheme Outstanding, plus Cat Friendly Clinic Gold and Rabbit Friendly Clinic Gold. 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. A minority of reviewers report the opposite experience—feeling “hard sold” tests/treatments (an echo and flea/worming) when they wanted reassurance only. Concrete specifics mentioned: - Same-day urgent appointment was reported (including on a Saturday). - Nervous pets: patience during vaccinations/boosters is specifically described. - Pet travel paperwork is mentioned (and later a price increase after paperwork was issued). - Waiting area details appear in reviews (space, fish tank distraction for dogs; mention of steps and a separate disabled entrance).
