Broad Lane Vets is an independent small-animal clinic established in 1969, run by Elly Pittaway, Aidin Walls, and Alison White (website). It appears set up for routine care plus in-practice procedures, with additional support for owners outside appointments via 24/7 digital vet access (VidiVet) (website). Recent reviewers repeatedly describe clear explanations and practical guidance (for example, “pointers for changes to look out for as he ages” and “explained everything thoroughly”), and mention concrete visits such as check-ups and stitches. One owner also reports staff adapting the visit to their dog’s needs by allowing access to the treatment room via a back door to avoid a stressful waiting-room situation.

Linkswood Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent small-animal practice. Recent reviews suggest the team handles a mix of orthopaedic surgery and long-term case management, alongside day-to-day consultations.

Several reviews also highlight help during end-of-life appointments and the return of ashes being handled quickly.

Our Score (96/100)
Medivet Thorpe St Andrew is part of the Medivet group and is led (per its website) by veterinary surgeon Gerhard Retief. It appears set up for routine and preventative care alongside in-practice diagnostics and common procedures: the website lists 15‑minute consultations, in-house lab work, X‑rays and ultrasound, plus dentistry and neutering.

My Vet Salisbury is a small-animal clinic where recent reviews repeatedly single out individual vets by name—especially Adam (described as “experienced,” “honest,” and “dedicated”) and Daniel (mentioned positively by name). Owners also highlight practical access, noting the practice is open seven days a week. One reviewer specifically says the clinic’s pricing made treatment for a senior cat possible when they otherwise feared euthanasia might be the only option.
