Cornish Paws Veterinary Practice

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.

We cannot praise Cornish Paws highly enough. Our pup Lily has been registered since we adopted her in March and we have always had positive experiences. She went in today for her spay and they handled the entire process so well. We received a call yesterday afternoon to remind us of all the essential things to remember pre-op, talked us through pricing very transparently and were clear on time frames for each step. We dropped her off at 8.30am and received a call from the vet about 2 hours later to let us know she was out and all had gone well. We then got a further call a little bit later to let us know the time we could go and collect her. When my partner went to collect her she'd been fed and watered and taken to go to the toilet and was a very happy (albeit a bit dozy!) girl. They gave him all the after-care information we need and booked her in for a follow up next week. We could not recommend Cornish Paws more! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!

My very first visit to Cornish paws, the vet Felix came out and took my cat carrier for me from the waiting room. Introduced himself with a smile and enthusiasm. He let my cat wander out of the carrier at his own will and we chatted about my concerns. He was very thoughtful with his line of questioning building a picture of my cats health. He was able to put some worries to rest and explain everything to detail in a manner I could understand clearly. I never felt rushed or that any questions were silly. I have never seen my cat so relaxed at the vets he wasn't stressed or trying to hide in his box. By far the best visit to the vets we have ever had and we have been to a few over the ten years of my cats life. Never has a vet treated him so kindly he never restricted his movement or forced anything, he let my cat come to him in his own time. I'm so impressed and refreshed by his approach and wouldn't consider going elsewhere, now we have had the 5* treatment. Thankyou Felix for sharing your kindness and knowledge!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Cornish paws. We have had AMAZING treatment from the moment we joined having experienced some really poor treatment elsewhere locally. The whole team is friendly, helpful and efficient and we have full confidence in them. THANK YOU!

Nothing is too much trouble when it comes to looking after your pets. Matt will turn up out-of-hours and he was excellent in sorting out my very ill (and quite old) Border Terrier who is now fighting fit again. I have two dogs and mostly, fortunately, I only need routine stuff (boosters, flea and worm treatments etc.) but everyone is super friendly, helpful and make every visit very easy.
