Little Lane Veterinary Clinic

Little Lane Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice in Wigan and part of Regan Veterinary Group, which is owned by CVS. The clinic offers everyday preventive care as well as treatment for sick or urgent cases, and it also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent feedback is mixed: some owners describe compassionate support and effective urgent treatment, while others raise concerns about costs and aspects of handling or follow-up care.

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 care and small pet work: reviews mention same-day treatment for a dog after a bite injury, as well as care involving cats and rabbits, which fits the clinic’s small-animal focus.
•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. Recent reviews frequently describe the clinic as expensive, including one report of a £150 consultation and a quote of almost £1,000 for an X-ray, and another reporting 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 concern about high costs.

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

As far as vets go this one is one of 4 I no longer use, reason on this vets is paid for healthy pet club never able to use it as apparently no appointments ever, sand during lockdown 3 dogs needing boosters again no can’t due to lockdown but we’re still taking monthly payments for the treatment they didn’t get! When tried after lockdown still no so that was cancelled, took my cat in bad eyes charged a fortune for one injection of pain relief and given what they said was antibiotics it was in fact pain relief so another vet left her untreated for the actual problem I also requested a feline aids test and herpes which they didn’t carry again multiple vets have fob me off with over priced medication but none will look into what was causing it, 7 years I’ve been trying to get a vet to listen and help and it’s now taken for my cats eye to completely rot and having to be removed to find out that in fact she has herpes so if these tests had been done she would of had the right treatment to avoid this, also refused to see my cat who got pregnant when a cat got into my house during lockdown no vets would spay her to stop the pregnancy then when it came to delivery one kitten stuck again this vets and multiple refused due to not believing that she held her last kitten for over 30 hours I did eventually get a vet to listen at another practice who rushed her for a C-section luckily both mum and kitten made it, I also had a rabbit with long teeth that kept growing so weekly he was here for teeth trimming I asked over for them to be removed as it was none stop and costly told no then eventually they agreed but then they said no as I took him I’m unable to walk and told it’s just poo stuck to his leg we will do it next week even though I kept saying there is something wrong with his legs he was dead the day after! I left another vets after they did 4 failed tumour removal on my dog and insisted on putting her to sleep soon as I took her for a second opinion they fixed her up and I got another 4 lovely years with her until it came back and took her

Nice staff members, but their prices are absolutely ridiculous. Labrela injection every 4 weeks was costing me £132 , injected by a nurse ( which is fine), but £132??? and that was with 10% healthy pet discount. I moved to another vet clinic, and for the same injection by a nurse, it's only costing me £74. That's almost half the price at my new veterinary clinic. Absolutely daylight robbery for Regan Veterinary Group. Avoid this vet group. How do you justify charging so much for the exact same medication? Explain that one . The staff that work there are lovely, though. unfortunately, they don't set the prices.

My dog has been a member of this veterinary clinic her whole life (she is 14) and we have never had an issue. The staff are really nice and friendly, the waiting room is a decent size and you are never kept waiting very long after “checking in” for your appointment. There is ample parking both in front of the clinic and on the road, with no restrictions. The pricing of annual boosters is reasonable and we cannot praise the staff enough for the level of service we have received. I would definitely recommend this veterinary clinic!
