Wood Farm Vets describes itself as an independent mixed practice, providing companion animal, equine and farm animal care, with emergency cover at weekends (emergencies-only service stated on the clinic website). Reviews strongly emphasise responsive urgent care across species: one owner describes an out-of-hours call answered quickly, an appointment arranged for the next morning, and their dog going into surgery the same day for a suspected blockage, with “clear, regular and reassuring” updates throughout. Others mention planned and emergency care for horses, and same-day urgent appointments being arranged when needed.

Westover Large Animal Ltd describes itself on its website as an independent, vet‑owned practice with a long history (dating back to 1896) and “24‑hour inpatient support.” Reviews, however, most often talk about equine care (including handling stressful visits and caring for “poorly” horses), while the website lists a wide mix of species (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, tortoises and lizards) and calls itself a “small animal hospital” — so the practice’s main focus is not presented consistently across sources.
From the evidence available, the clinic appears set up for both routine and more complex work: the website mentions advanced diagnostics and complex surgeries, and reviews specifically mention a cat spay and multiple horse cases. Owners also mention staff explaining what they will be doing during treatment, which helped reduce stress during visits.

Three Rivers Vets is part of a multi-surgery veterinary group (on its website, the practice traces its history back to 1935). Recent reviews suggest the branch experience is geared around routine care and supportive end-of-life care, with out-of-hours arrangements available (the website states out-of-hours care is provided via surgery-specific contact routes). Owners often mention a welcoming reception and patient handling during appointments (including annual vaccinations), but there are also criticisms about high costs since the practice was “bought out” (named in one review as IVC) and one detailed complaint about inappropriate reception comments during a euthanasia visit.

Chapelfield Veterinary Partnership is a five-branch veterinary partnership with roots going back over 100 years. Based on the clinic information and website summary, it covers a wide mix of work—companion animals as well as livestock and equine cases (the site notes that large animal vets operate out of this surgery), and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews suggest the clinic is often used for long-term routine care for dogs, as well as difficult appointments such as euthanasia, with multiple owners describing staff as compassionate and reassuring at end-of-life. However, there are also serious negatives in recent feedback, including one owner reporting an overdose of post-op pain medication that required a two-day hospital stay, and another reporting poor receptionist communication/attitude.

Wensum Valley Veterinary Surgeons is an equine-focused (and farm-client) practice with a purpose-built clinic and stated 24/7 emergency availability.

Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of each stage of treatment and a focus on welfare over “tidy” or unnecessary work.

Uplands Way Veterinary Clinic describes itself as having over 100 years’ experience delivering pet healthcare. From the reviews available, it appears set up for routine appointments as well as accommodating urgent, last-minute cases when possible: one owner reports arriving unannounced after being unable to get a last-minute appointment elsewhere and being seen “straight away,” with their cat kept in a kennel for several hours so they didn’t have to wait all day. Feedback is mixed on access and appointment handling—one reviewer reports being turned away for arriving 12 minutes late to the last appointment of the day, and another describes limited appointment availability for rabbit annual appointments at one point.

The website states they provide 24/7 emergency services, 365 days a year.
