Medivet Dorchester Southfield Veterinary Centre

Nice friendly practice Staffalways easy to deal with

The vet who carried out the initial examination when we moved here was extremely friendly and informative - really impressed

The staff fully understood my dogs needs

We had to use medivet dorchester as an emergency out of hours vets for our dog as our vets in yeovil dont offer emergency out of hours. They were fantastic in what was an extremely stressful situation on a Sunday afternoon. Our 11year old dog blossom stayed with them for 3 days they set to work on her immediately and kept us upto date with her progress . I can't remember the lovely ladies that looked after blossom and reassured us but I wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend them to any one and can't thank them enough

Excellent care of our dog during her operation, kept us informed well of everything. phoned us immediately she wasn't happy. Definitely recommend them, been with them for years.

Absolutely appalling. This practice caused permanent injury to my dog while in their care and showed no concern or accountability. My dog was admitted to Medivet at 8:30am on 15 August 2025 with full hearing. By the afternoon, following an operation, she was completely deaf. Rather than taking responsibility, the practice dismissed the matter and treated it as my problem, displaying unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour throughout. My dog has been left traumatised and frightened, and they have even refused to see her after I submitted a formal complaint about their conduct and injury to my animal. That’s right, this company staff harm my dog permanently, lied about it and when I complain - I am the problem. Not the injury to my dog that they caused - I am. They terminated my contract - refused to see the dog they injured - that is the type of vets in this company. Please keep your animals safe—avoid this practice. Speak to other clients too; I have since heard many disturbing accounts from other pet owners who entrusted Medivet with their pets.

I registered my cat with Medivet. They were easy to book appointments with. I took him for his first appointment on Thursday. The waiting area feels really bright and airey. The receptionist was lovely. I was impressed that they had a dedicated cat parent waiting area separate from other pets. The vet I saw was so lovely. She was extremely professional and treated my boy so well. He was so scared and she was so lovely with him. I was shown how to apply flea drops so that they work effectively. I have registered him on their petplan and I highly recommend this. I even got the first 4 weeks insurance free with petplan. I am so happy I registered him their as I know he will be well cared for.

Always excellent service, easy to access including 24hr service, friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff.

This is a wonderful practice, they are so thorough and genuinely care about each and every individual pet. We would always stick with this practice, particularly given that all other surgeries in Dorchester transport animals there for any overnight hospitalisation anyway, which I feel everyone should be made aware of. We are extremely satisfied customers. Thanks Team x
