Best Vets in Wandsworth – Complete Local Guide

Battersea Square Vets is an independent clinic owned and run by husband-and-wife team Tristan and Sarah Martin. The website and reviews suggest a practice set up for thorough consultations and clear communication, with owners repeatedly describing detailed explanations and time taken to answer questions. Several reviews mention dentistry (scale/polish, dental X‑rays and discussion of extractions), surgery (including tumour removal), and export/travel certification paperwork being handled carefully (including checking requirements and documents with external officials). Cat owners also mention a dedicated cat waiting area with calming pheromones.

Creature Comforts Putney is a small-animal veterinary clinic for dogs, cats and rabbits, with in-house diagnostic facilities (lab work, digital x‑rays and ultrasound) and a full dental suite. The website lists urgent care for sudden illness/injury, alongside routine work like vaccinations, parasite control, neutering and microchipping. Recent reviews consistently highlight long, unhurried consults where vets explain options in detail, and multiple owners mention anxious or reactive pets being handled patiently (including treats used to help dogs relax, and a nervous rescue cat settling quickly with the vet). Owners also mention practical conveniences like being able to book/reschedule via an app and weekend availability.

All Creatures Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice, with in-house facilities and 24/7 digital vet support via a partnership with VidiVet. Reviews frequently describe proactive follow-up (owners say they’re called with test results and checked on after illness/procedures) and clear explanations during consults. Specific care mentioned includes dental extractions for an elderly cat, thorough annual check-ups with practical preventative advice, and support through end-of-life euthanasia. A small number of recent reviews raise serious concerns, including a report of a missed diagnosis (eye problem later identified elsewhere as entropion) and allegations of upselling/charging for services without consent; other reviewers, however, describe the clinic as good value compared with corporate chains and cite careful precautions around surgery.

Animal Choice is a small-practice-style vet clinic (one reviewer says it “feels like a family run business rather than a big corporate”). It appears set up for day-to-day primary care plus ongoing management of chronic issues: owners mention allergy care, vaccinations/injections, infections treated with antibiotics, and “operations big and small.” Practical touches come up repeatedly, including same-day appointments when pets are unwell, phone advice on whether a pet needs to be seen, and help with submitting regular treatments to insurers. Home care is also referenced: one owner reports a home visit arranged within an hour for a cat with an infection, and another says the team recommended a locum for euthanasia at home for a cat that became very stressed leaving the house.

Tooting Veterinary Surgery is a newly established practice within the independent DNA Vetcare group, with 24/7 emergency access provided via its main hospital, Streatham Hill Vets (as stated on the clinic website). Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both day-to-day care and a range of in-house diagnostics, with the option of more advanced investigations at the main hospital. Concrete specifics mentioned: - In-house diagnostics include blood tests, digital x‑rays and ultrasound (website). - The website lists routine and advanced surgery, including spays/neuters and dental procedures (website). - Reviews describe routine puppy vaccinations and boosters, plus urgent appointment booking by checking other branches for availability (reviews). - Reviews also mention thorough examinations and a clear “plan going forward” after the vet listened to concerns (reviews).

Wimbledon Veterinary Surgery presents itself as “proudly independent” on its website, while also stating it is part of the London Veterinary Surgeries group and “independently owned by DNA Vetcare” (so the ownership/independence messaging is mixed). The clinic describes a purpose-built hospital, RCVS Accreditation, and Cat Friendly Clinic status, and offers an out-of-hours emergency service. From recent reviews, owners most often describe: being able to get appointments easily; clear, patient explanations during scary illnesses (including a hospital admission); and successful treatment of both urgent surgical problems (bladder stone removal) and longer-running issues like skin/ear/eye conditions.

Medivet Roehampton is part of the Medivet group and offers routine and surgical care alongside on-site diagnostics (in-house lab, X‑rays, ultrasound, ECG) and an orthopaedic theatre. The clinic also states it is a veterinary nurse training facility and offers 15‑minute consultations. From the latest reviews, owners often mention: - being able to get a same‑day appointment (including for a kitten visit), - clear, supportive discussions around options (including a second opinion and end‑of‑life decision-making), - good handling of nervous pets (one owner highlighted how their shy/anxious cat was managed around a spay), - a potential downside for some: being told they can’t book follow‑ups with a specific vet for continuity.

Medivet Battersea is part of the Medivet group and is set up as a general practice that can also connect clients to Medivet’s 24-hour emergency centres overnight (with a stated overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am). Recent reviews describe routine care (annual vaccinations and health checks), illness appointments (including a kitten with a high temperature and concerns about possible infections), and at least one vet being described as a surgeon. Owner feedback is largely positive about calm handling of nervous pets and clear reassurance during worrying visits, but there is a serious recent complaint about basic record-checking and microchipping (a cat reportedly given a second microchip without being scanned first, and then still charged).

The Urban Vet describes itself as an independent clinic with an emphasis on preventative care, 20‑minute appointments, and trying to book pets with the same vet each visit for continuity. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and more involved medical work, with in‑house diagnostics (lab tests, X‑ray, ultrasound) and procedures including laparoscopy, plus a dedicated dermatology clinic. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention feeling well informed and not rushed, including one account of a vet taking time to explain the pros/cons, science, and ethical considerations behind different options. Several reviews describe ongoing case management (e.g., months of allergy work‑ups, a cat with a long‑term condition), and one describes a case involving two X‑rays and major surgery for a suspected foreign body.

Goddard Veterinary Group Tooting is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (the practice joined the group in 2017) and is RCVS-accredited. The clinic is set up for routine consultations and in-house diagnostics and procedures, with on-site blood testing, X-rays, and operations listed on the practice website. For emergencies, the website states care is provided via Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital (open 24/7, 365 days a year). In the latest reviews available to us, owners give concrete examples at both ends of the experience: one cat owner describes reception proactively providing a towel with a calming spray for a nervous cat during a procedure visit, while another describes serious dissatisfaction with a vet visit (including concerns about medication effects and missed treatments) and administrative issues around insurance paperwork.

Medivet Wimbledon Kydd and Kydd Vets is part of the Medivet group. The practice is set up for routine care and surgery (a cat spay is specifically mentioned in reviews), with 24/7 emergency care advertised on its website and an overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 (for consultations between 7pm and 9am). Recent reviewers repeatedly mention straightforward appointment booking and gentle handling during visits, including for a nervous first-time client and during end-of-life care for a long-term dog.

The London Vet is a single-branch, independent practice established in 2019, and it’s also a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the latest reviews, owners describe both routine and urgent care being handled promptly and thoroughly—examples include recurring ear infections, parasite treatment in a young pet, and help during “scary moments.” Several reviewers highlight being listened to and having clear support during stressful situations (including a call where a vet spent time calming an owner before taking the history). One review also describes the team offering emergency help to a cat hit by a car, prioritising immediate care and support over payment in the moment.
