Clinic Overview

Bransgore Vets is a first-opinion practice for dogs, cats and other small domestic pets. The website states it offers emergency cover on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, while structured clinic data also lists emergency veterinary services as “24/7 or extended hours” (the exact out-of-hours arrangement isn’t fully consistent across sources). In recent reviews, owners mention being fitted in for a same-day appointment, staff helping to calm a nervous pet and owner, and one case where a dog’s life was “saved” after another vet had advised euthanasia.
