Clinic Overview

Quay Veterinary Centre is part of the Grange Veterinary group (a multi-branch practice) and is RCVS accredited. The website positions the wider group as having a “state-of-the-art hospital” and modern equipment, with 24/7 emergency care available.

From the latest reviews available, owners often mention staff taking time with anxious pets (including a “very afraid” cat and a dog that struggles with injections) and being supportive during end-of-life care (“didn’t rush me” when saying goodbye). One recent review describes a sharply different experience: concerns about unclear explanations of medication given to a cat, missed calls when trying to clarify details, and disappointment with the overall communication.

Services

  • Veterinary care for cats and dogs is referenced in reviews.
  • End-of-life care/euthanasia is specifically described in reviews, including time and space given to owners during appointments.
  • Handling of nervous or difficult-to-treat pets (e.g., pets fearful of everything; a dog that thrashes during injections) is repeatedly mentioned.
  • 24/7 emergency care is stated on the website.
  • Veterinary nurse training facility (from clinic data).
  • RCVS accredited (from the website summary).
  • Facilities/equipment: described on the website as a “state-of-the-art hospital” with modern equipment (at group level).

Pricing

  • A recent reviewer was quoted an estimated £560 for a set of diagnostic tests scheduled for the following week (tests not itemised in the review).

People

  • Emma (reception) is named in one review as greeting pets and owners warmly and helping them feel welcome.
  • One review mentions a “relatively young male veterinarian” (not named) and criticises the communication style—using technical terminology without clear explanation and not clearly explaining what medications were administered.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.8 stars from 76 reviews. - Support during euthanasia/end-of-life: owners describe not being rushed and staff helping make a difficult appointment calmer.

  • Nervous pets handled with patience: examples include a fearful cat and a dog that resists injections; reviewers say staff gave them time to cope.
  • Appointments access is mixed: one review says it “takes time to get an appointment,” while another says appointments are “always available when you need them.”
  • Communication concerns in a recent negative review: one owner reports unclear explanations about medication, wanting more diagnostics before treatment, and difficulty getting calls answered when trying to clarify what had been given.
  • Pet plan mentioned: one reviewer says the “Grange pet plan” makes appointments easier.
