Caister Vets – Vets in Great Yarmouth

Updated January 2026

Clinic Overview

Caister Vets is an independent, vet-owned practice (established 2017) offering routine consultations, diagnostics and surgery for a wide mix of species (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, tortoises and lizards). Reviews repeatedly point to appointments that don’t feel rushed, vets who explain options and give honest opinions, and examples of good follow-up, including a post-op call after a neutering procedure. Several owners also describe same-day urgent appointments when their pet needed to be seen quickly.

Services

  • Routine consultations (mentioned on the clinic website).
  • Diagnostic services (website).
  • Surgical services (website), with reviews specifically mentioning
  • Neutering and clear pre-/post-op explanations, plus a follow-up phone call to check progress.
  • Urgent/same-day appointments (reviewers describe getting seen the same day, including an appointment within about an hour).
  • Treatment examples from reviews
  • Anal gland abscess management with a longer-than-expected recovery and ongoing explanations.
  • Eye problem treated in an urgent visit.
  • Exotics/non-traditional pets: the website lists birds and reptiles; reviews also mention care for pet rats, including willingness to listen to experienced owners and access to “exotic vets” for more difficult cases (as described by one reviewer).
  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility (from structured clinic data).

People

  • Isobel B (vet): named for performing a neutering operation, with the owner highlighting clear information “from start to finish” and a later check-in call about recovery.
  • Eleanor (veterinary nurse): thanked for looking after a pet “from start to finish” during a neutering procedure.
  • Sally-Ann (vet): praised for being thorough and clear in explanations during a greyhound’s anal gland abscess recovery, and for taking time to keep a shy dog comfortable during repeat visits.
  • Chloe (vet): noted for handling an anxious rescue dog with “minimum fuss” and avoiding heavy intervention when possible; also thanked for kindness during euthanasia.

Reviews

4.7 stars from 476 reviews. - Owners often mention being listened to and getting straight, honest opinions about diagnosis and next steps.

  • Not rushed appointments are specifically called out, alongside explanations that help owners feel reassured.
  • Urgent access comes up in multiple accounts (same-day appointments for a dog; an appointment roughly an hour after calling for an eye issue).
  • Gentle handling is mentioned for nervous pets (e.g., a cat handled “so gently”; an anxious rescue dog managed with minimal stress).
  • Continuity and follow-up: one owner describes a vet calling after surgery to check how their pet was doing.
  • Costs/value: a few reviewers describe bills/medications being a pleasant surprise or “priced well,” but without specific amounts.
