Little Lane Veterinary Clinic

Little Lane Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice in Wigan and part of Regan Veterinary Group, owned by CVS Group. The clinic provides routine preventive care as well as treatment for sick or urgent cases, and it also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent feedback remains mixed: many owners praise the team’s kindness, especially in urgent and end-of-life situations, while others raise concerns about pricing, appointment access, and aspects of clinical follow-through.

Services

•Routine and preventive care: consultations, six-month health checks, vaccinations, parasite control, neutering, microchipping, and nurse clinics.
•Nurse-led support: blood pressure checks, grooming and nail clipping, anal sac expression, and some repeat treatments such as nurse-administered injections mentioned in reviews.
•Diagnostics and treatment: dentistry, surgery, and diagnostic tests and imaging. Across the wider Regan Veterinary Group, the website also references access to ophthalmology, orthopaedic surgery, soft tissue surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, ultrasonography, and dermatology.
•Urgent and everyday small-animal care: reviews mention emergency treatment for an unregistered dachshund after a dog bite, along with care involving cats, kittens, and rabbits, which fits the clinic’s small-animal focus.
•End-of-life care and support: recent reviews highlight compassionate support during euthanasia appointments and bereavement.
•Visits and emergencies: home visits are listed on the website. During normal opening hours, emergencies are handled through the practice; out of hours, clients are referred to an external emergency provider.

Pricing

Published prices suggest the clinic sits above average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. Reviews frequently mention high costs, including reports of a £150 consultation, a quote of almost £1,000 for an X-ray, and Librela injections at £132 every four weeks with a 10% healthy pet discount. There is some older feedback describing annual boosters as reasonable, but the stronger recent theme is that treatment can feel expensive.

People

•Several owners praise the team’s kindness and emotional support, especially during difficult goodbye appointments for elderly pets and young kittens.

•A smaller number of reviews raise more serious concerns about handling, appointment availability, and diagnostic follow-through.

We said goodbye to our old treasured dog Barney yesterday, who has been with Little Lane vets from being a puppy. We cannot thank all the staff enough for their sympathetic and understanding manner from beginning to end. Barney passed stress free and I would like to thank Little Lane Veterinary Clinic and all the staff that were there for us for making Barney's passing as stress free as possible and for the sympathetic, no rush attitude and understanding we were shown (that meant so much to us when saying goodbye) From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your professional, personal and caring manner. xx

Took my 1 month old kitten in today, unfortunately she didnt make it, but the emotional support recieved from the veterinarians was phenomenal, though the prices and final bill for such a small animal was shocking.

Took my poor lil cat here with an injured leg, and they manhandled him off into a dingy back room, where I could hear him wailing in the distance from the pain of being handled so poorly. All the while trying to charge me almost £1000 for an X-Ray, + £150 consultation. This is from my experience, honestly the worst vets in the country, both their total lack of care for animals combined with their constant attempts to fleece you out of every penny, they tried charging my partner a consultation fee for answering an email… Truly disgusting human beings working there, who should take a long hard look at themselves and either change, or stop wasting oxygen with their existence.

I took my dashound unregisted for emergency after being bit by another dog and was lifeless... by 6pm they had brought her back to her usual self. Took amazing care of her and as soon as they took her from me got straight to work. I can't thank them enough and recommend them highly. At my check-up I plan on registering all my animals with them there. A great team and so friendly and caring and helpful in explaining the aftercare in simple forms so I could be confident at home
