Medivet Oakdale is part of the Medivet group (a network of 400+ practices) and is set up for both everyday care and more complex work, with “routine and advanced surgery” listed on its website. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe practical, problem-solving support: fitting in a last-minute evening appointment for a poorly guinea pig, handling annual boosters plus kennel cough nasal spray during a thorough check-up, and prescribing medication for a leg issue that the owner says improved. There are also multiple mentions of the team taking time to listen—one reviewer describes the receptionist checking with a vet and calling back the same morning with advice, then booking an appointment to suit working hours.

Poole Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on recent reviews, owners use the practice for routine care (vaccinations), investigation of ongoing problems (skin conditions, tummy issues with discussions of blood tests and x‑rays), and end-of-life/palliative discussions for older cats. Experiences reported are mixed: some owners describe vets who listen and avoid pushing treatments (including palliative-care planning), while others report feeling their concerns were dismissed, testing wasn’t done when expected, or that care during serious illness was inadequate.
