Knaphill Vets is described in recent client feedback as a practice that prioritises clear explanations and low-stress handling, including taking time to talk through a pet’s condition and medications without making owners feel rushed. Reviews mention dogs and cats being seen, with one owner describing a “transformative” change for a very fearful dog who now goes in happily for “biscuit bribes,” and another noting their puppy stayed calm during a first vaccination visit. Two vets are named (Alfie and James), and owners emphasise leaving appointments with enough information to make decisions about treatment plans.

Hunters Lodge Veterinary Practice describes itself as an independent clinic. Based on its site and recent reviews, it appears set up for a mix of routine care (check-ups, vaccines, preventative care) and more urgent medical problems, with out-of-hours emergencies handled by Vets Now. Recent owners describe being seen at short notice for a cat bite, and one review details a vet identifying acute kidney failure and acting immediately with a plan, despite the pet being a new patient with limited history.

Kingswood Vets has a 4.6★ Google rating from 222 reviews, but the latest written reviews available to us include several very negative accounts alongside brief positives. Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided.

Based on recent reviews, the clinic appears set up for general small-animal care with the ability to handle urgent cases (one review mentions appointments running late due to an emergency) and to refer to external centres for advanced treatment (a cat owner describes being advised to go to a surgery centre with an estimated cost of £8,000). Recent reviewers also raise concerns about communication and transparency—examples include a complaint about being told a large deposit was required for referral, and another about not being informed of delays until arrival.

Pet Doctors Knaphill is part of the Pet Doctors Veterinary Group and operates under CVS (UK) Limited. The practice is set up for routine small-animal care alongside common procedures (including dentistry and surgery), with nurse-led appointments available and a defined out-of-hours arrangement via MiNightVet for emergencies when the practice is closed. In reviews, owners most often mention efficient appointments (“never late”), a separate cat area, and staff who will give advice and attention to pets; a recurring frustration is difficulty getting through on the phone.

Vets Now Guildford is part of the Vets Now emergency-veterinary group and is set up specifically for out-of-hours urgent and critical cases for dogs, cats, and small animals (the website says it has provided this service since 2009). The clinic lists in-house facilities such as X‑ray, ultrasound, ECG, endoscopy, an in-house laboratory, an operating theatre, an isolation unit, and a hospital ward—suggesting it can stabilise and investigate a wide range of emergencies rather than just triage.

Recent reviews include time-critical ingestion care where a dog was “seen straight away,” vomiting was induced, and anti-nausea treatment was given, with the owner back in the car within around 30 minutes. Another owner credits the team’s communication and an onward referral to “RVC” with giving their dog “a small chance” of recovery.

Recent reviews repeatedly mention being seen promptly and having treatment options and potential costs explained clearly, including one report of no pressure to choose more expensive options—but another review describes the service as “hideously expensive,” including an £800 deposit.
