Clinic Not Accepting Clients from VetsCompared
Medivet Standish / Standish Veterinary Centre – Vets in Wigan
Clinic Overview
- Recent feedback is strongly positive overall, with many owners describing the team as friendly, welcoming, professional and caring. - Reviewers mention good handling of both cats and dogs, including anxious pets, prompt diagnosis when animals are unwell, and pets that seem happy to come into the practice. - Several comments highlight the team’s compassion during difficult moments, especially end-of-life care, and their ability to stay calm when the practice is busy or managing emergencies.
Services
- •24/7 emergency care: Overnight emergency consultations are available, with cover described as running through the night. Reviews also mention the team staying calm and efficient while dealing with emergencies.
- •Routine veterinary care for cats and dogs: Ongoing general care is reflected in feedback about annual checks, injections, prompt diagnosis when pets are unwell, and regular visits that pets appear comfortable with.
- •Aftercare and follow-up support: Earlier feedback mentions stitch removal and careful handling of nervous rescue dogs, while more recent reviews highlight sensitive care for anxious cats and compassionate end-of-life support.
- •Training role: The practice is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.
Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average, but this is based on very few comparable services. One published fee listed is an overnight emergency consultation at £130 for appointments between 7pm and 9am. Recent reviews focus much more on care and service than on cost.
