## Summary Evans Veterinary Practice describes itself as a family-run, independent mixed practice providing care for pets as well as farm animals and horses. The website highlights walk-in clinics on weekdays plus bookable small-animal appointments, and says out-of-hours emergencies are covered by their own vets (with weekend routine and emergency clinics listed). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention support during end-of-life visits (unhurried euthanasia appointments and empathetic staff). There are also clear negatives reported: multiple reviews describe rude/unprofessional front-desk interactions, and one reviewer says they were dispensed out-of-date antibiotics on more than one visit. ## Services Based on the clinic website and reviews, services mentioned include: - Walk-in clinic (no booking needed, as described on the website) - Bookable small-animal appointments (as described on the website) - Emergency out-of-hours cover provided by the practice’s own vets (as described on the website), including weekend emergency clinics (as stated) - Farm animal and equine veterinary services (specialised surgeons mentioned on the website) - Routine vaccination appointments (mentioned in reviews) - Spaying (one owner describes their dog being spayed here) - Euthanasia / end-of-life care (several reviews describe cats/dogs being put to sleep with staff support) - Prescribing/dispensing antibiotics (raised in reviews, including concerns about out-of-date medication) ## People - **James (vet)**: mentioned by name in one review as “helpful and reassuring” during a cat visit. - **A “young vet” and receptionist**: one reviewer describes both as kind and unhurried during a euthanasia appointment, helping make the process more bearable. - **Reception/front desk/office management (unnamed)**: experiences vary sharply—some owners describe staff as kind and empathetic, while others report rudeness, being spoken to harshly during a medication mix-up, and one complaint alleging a manager ended a call. ## Reviews **4.6 stars from 275 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - Multiple owners describe compassionate support during euthanasia/end-of-life visits, including being given time and not being rushed. - Positive reports of surgical care: one owner specifically mentions a dog spay and says questions were answered before/during/after the procedure. - Several negative experiences focus on front-desk communication and complaint handling (described as rude/unprofessional). - Medication concerns appear in one review alleging antibiotics were dispensed out of date on more than one occasion.
