Best Vets in Wadebridge – Complete Local Guide

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.

Nute Veterinary Surgery is a small-animal practice established in 1976 and listed as an RCVS General Practice, with Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver) accreditation. The website describes routine care plus treatments such as acupuncture and home visits, and an out-of-hours arrangement where emergencies are referred to MiNightVet (with full-time night staff). In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe being seen quickly for urgent problems (including a morning walk-in after a dog attack, and same-day appointments for an unwell dog while travelling). A recurring positive detail is vets being described as “thorough” in examinations and treatment planning. A smaller number of reviews raise concerns about communication and judgement—one owner alleges a vet made negative comments about a specific breed—and another review describes a treatment approach that they felt led to unnecessary extra cost for ear treatment.
