Blythman & Partners is an independent, family-run veterinary group with multiple practices, with 24/7 emergency care provided through its hospital site (RCVS hospital status). The clinic appears set up for both routine care (vaccinations, microchipping, dental treatment) and urgent/complex cases—reviews mention emergency visits handled in an organised, calm way, and one owner describes the team consulting other clinics/professionals to help with diagnosis. Practical touches mentioned include an online portal to manage appointments and access information (including insurance receipts), and a “monthly puppy club”/new puppy sessions (one reviewer describes an “informative hour for new puppy owners”). Feedback is mostly very positive, but there is also a recent 1-star review alleging rude staff, a stressful hospital stay, and concerns about being “look[ed] after… money.”

Doorstep Vet is a mobile veterinary service (home visits) that emphasises longer appointments and continuity of care from a small team. Based on the website and recent reviews, they appear set up for pets that find clinic visits stressful and for owners who want more time to talk through options. Owners repeatedly mention home visits for routine care (vaccinations and check-ups), ongoing management for longer-term conditions (including diabetes monitoring with regular check-ins), and end-of-life care carried out at home. Several reviews also describe follow-up actions such as next-day checks with blood test results and a vet phoning after speaking to a medication company to discuss how to use diabetic medication.

King’s Road Veterinary Practice Ltd is an independent practice founded in 2012, led by practice owner and Head Veterinary Surgeon Wendy Rowntree. The website highlights nurse clinics plus health packages (Very Important Paws Health Package, Over 8’s MOT Club, and a Healthy Puppy & Kitten Bundle), and states the practice offers out-of-hours emergency assistance. Recent reviews include concrete examples of care such as an allergy injection visit where treatment options were discussed (including help for fireworks-related stress), and a post-op update sent via WhatsApp with a recovery photo after a mouth operation. Pricing and value are a mixed picture in reviews: some describe “reasonable” prices and a monthly VIP plan, while others report unexpected fees (including £60 for brief phone advice) and higher-priced medicines/tests.

Westway Veterinary Centres Ltd
Houghton Le Spring
Our Score (80/100)
Westway Veterinary Centres Ltd is part of the Westway Vets group (established in 1975) and is supported by a Tier 3 RCVS hospital. The clinic highlights a separate dedicated feline unit and Gold standard Cat Friendly Clinic status, suggesting it’s set up with cat-specific handling and facilities in mind. From recent owner feedback, day-to-day care seems focused on making visits manageable for anxious pets (for example, taking time to help a timid puppy settle before vaccination and moving efficiently through appointments for a nervous large-breed dog to avoid escalating stress). Reviews also mention compassionate support on a “very sad day” and staff being willing to give advice over the phone.
