Doctor Doolittles

Doctor Doolittles is part of the Summerhill Vets group (mentioned in the clinic website source text) and is set up to provide routine consultations and in-hours care, with out-of-hours cover routed to Vets Now (Newport). It’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

From the latest written reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: some owners describe staff helping quickly with difficult cases (for example, a found cat with a large mouth growth), while others strongly disagree and report feeling pushed into extensive testing and high bills.
