Featured Clinic Overview
## Summary 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.” ## Services - 24/7 emergency care (stated as available 365 days a year via the hospital site); owners describe being seen in an emergency with staff described as calm and reassuring. - Vaccinations (website). - Microchipping (website). - Dental treatment (website). - Chemotherapy is mentioned by one reviewer as being provided for their pet. - Puppy support/education: reviewers mention an “informative hour for new puppy owners” and “monthly puppy club” events. ## People - Heather (vet surgeon): named in a 1-star review, described as “rude” and lacking empathy during a hospital-related experience. No other reviews mention her specifically. - Wider team (reception, nurses, vets): multiple reviewers describe staff taking time for in-depth examinations, talking worries through patiently, and providing ongoing updates—one owner mentions being called with updates and additional information, and another highlights staff being organised and reassuring during an emergency. ## Reviews Google rating: 4.5 stars from 571 reviews. Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - Urgent care experiences are often described as organised and calming, with owners saying staff were “calm and reassuring” during emergencies. - Communication and follow-up: one owner reports the clinic “kept calling us with updates and additional information.” - Thoroughness/second opinions: one review describes vets consulting other clinics and professionals to help with diagnosis. - Access and routine support: reviews mention being able to get an appointment to fit the pet, and an “informative hour”/monthly puppy club for new owners. - Clear negative outlier: one recent review alleges rude staff, a cold/stressful hospital stay, and a focus on money; this conflicts with many other accounts describing empathy and good care.

Blythman & Partners describes itself as an independent, family-run veterinary practice with multiple branches and a dedicated emergency hospital. The website states its Gosforth practice has RCVS hospital status and the group is RCVS-accredited, with 24/7 emergency care provided via that hospital. From reviews, owners most often mention straightforward routine appointments (e.g., kennel cough injection with a “good examination” and “no waiting around”), staff using treats to help dogs relax while waiting, and being able to “fit us in for emergencies.” Pricing feedback is mixed: one owner says they “don’t ‘take the mick’ with charges,” while another says costs have increased and some medication-related visits can reach “3 figures.”

Moorview Vets is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website mentions 24/7 access to an online vet via Pawsquad, with the caveat that specialist, referral, or out-of-hours consultations aren’t included in the regular plans. Recent reviews are mixed (including several very positive experiences alongside detailed complaints). Owners most often talk about emergency care for older pets, blood testing and ongoing medication monitoring, and how the practice handles communication and billing, including after a pet has died. A few specific points that come up: - Emergency support is praised in at least one account (“first class” care for an older dog in an emergency). - Handling stressed pets is mentioned, including being seen in a quieter outer building when animals are anxious. - Costs are a recurring point of disagreement, including one report of £380 for a consultation and blood test. - Some owners describe poor communication or administration (e.g., wishes not being passed on; delays receiving ashes; disputes around payment and what happens before cremation).
