Longmead Veterinary Practice

Longmead Veterinary Practice describes itself as an independent, vet-owned surgery that has been serving clients since 1940 and is accredited as a Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) small animal practice. It’s set up for both routine care and more advanced work, with in-house CT scanning, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, and advanced orthopaedic surgery listed on its website, plus full hospitalisation facilities with separate dog and cat wards.

In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often point to clear explanations of procedures and risks, good care for pets kept in overnight, and support when an urgent out-of-hours appointment was needed (including for an elderly Labrador). Several reviewers also mention prices feeling “reasonable” and not feeling overcharged.
