The Carisbrooke Vets has been providing veterinary care since the 1960s and, based on its website, covers small animals, exotics and farm work, with 24/7 in-house emergency and out-of-hours provision. Recent reviews most often describe quick access for urgent problems (being “seen immediately” or “straight away”), clear explanations during consultations, and practical follow-up information after treatment. Owners also mention some on-site workflow choices that affect visits, such as keeping cats and dogs separated in the waiting area (though one reviewer notes this isn’t always followed by other owners) and the use of text notifications.

Marlow Vets describes itself as an independently owned, family veterinary practice led by Glenn and Caroline Marlow, treating dogs, cats and rabbits. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe hands-on medical and surgical care (including an operation with inpatient stays in the clinic’s cattery, with visiting rights), plus clear treatment plans for injuries and recovery. Practical paperwork support is also mentioned, with one client paying £200 for an animal health certificate after guidance on what information was needed from their overseas vet. While many reviews emphasise compassion (including end-of-life support), one recent review alleges empathy has fallen away alongside increased focus on money.
