Vets in Bristol | England Veterinary Directory

Emerson's Green Veterinary Surgery is an RCVS-accredited practice with on-site diagnostic kit including ultrasound, digital X‑rays, and digital dental radiographs. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine preventive care (vaccinations and general advice) and more involved medical/dental cases, with owners describing clear explanations of options, treatment plans, and costs. Concrete examples from reviews include a vet providing a second opinion and talking through options for a dog with an inoperable tumour, and a dental case where a cat with a jaw infection had treatment expedited to the next day with reported follow-up care.

Medivet Oldland Common (Oldland House Vets) is part of the Medivet group. The practice looks set up for routine and ongoing pet care for a wide range of small pets (including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters and rats), with owners repeatedly mentioning being seen at short notice and the team arranging emergency appointments when needed. Out-of-hours emergency care is provided by Rowe Veterinary Hospital. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often highlight: being able to get appointments quickly (including “very short notice”), vets who explain medication and answer questions in detail (one reviewer mentions Dr. Signe), and a team that works with owners on longer-term/chronic issues (example given: chronic and acute paw problems in sighthounds). There is also a note of conflict: one reviewer felt consultations could be rushed and that the most expensive/extreme treatment was suggested without enough discussion of alternatives, while others describe thorough explanations.

Rowe Veterinary Group runs six practices and positions itself as a first‑opinion provider for a wide mix of species (dogs, cats, small furries, birds and exotic animals). The group also describes access to a 24‑hour hospital (separately located) and an MRI facility (at another surgery). Recent reviews repeatedly mention smooth, well‑organised appointments and staff who take time to explain options and next steps. There’s also a clear negative account about how results were handled for a poorly dog (stool test results not communicated for days, and being told only one specific vet could discuss them), alongside a complaint about a higher-than-expected price for the same testing. Concrete specifics owners mention include a “cats only clinic”, support with pet weight loss plans, and a waiting/seating area that felt well thought out and helped an anxious first-time visitor feel more at ease.

Companion Care (Vets for Pets Abbeywood) describes itself as a locally owned practice that has been operating since 2008, with a modern, fully equipped clinic including digital X‑ray, ultrasound, an in‑house laboratory and an on‑site pharmacy. The website lists capabilities that go beyond routine consults—surgery, imaging, anaesthesia, and emergency/critical care—and notes out‑of‑hours support is provided via Vets Now. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention continuity (seeing the same vets over years), reception and admin efficiency, and small but meaningful touches such as sending a sympathy card after a pet death. A minority of reviews raise concerns about consult value/handling of fearful dogs, and an older review alleges a serious clinical error relating to misread blood results (presented as the reviewer’s account).

Langford Vet Practice describes itself as a group of veterinary services, including a Small Animal Referral Hospital alongside equine and farm animal services, plus diagnostic laboratories and cat genetic testing. Reviews also repeatedly describe it as a teaching setting (with “student vets” involved) and mention specialist-style departments such as neurology. Recent reviewers highlight thorough explanations in plain language, careful handling of anxious pets (both dogs and cats), and being kept updated during inpatient care after traumatic injuries; one reviewer also notes open, non-judgemental conversations about budget and that treatment came in under their stated limit.
