Pets Clinic Veterinary Surgery is an independent practice (as described by a long-term client) that opened in June 2009 and describes itself as a modern surgery offering “an excellent standard of veterinary care” (website). Based on recent reviews, the clinic is used heavily for cat care, including injury treatment (a cat’s paw after a fox attack) and end-of-life support (euthanasia on Christmas Eve with guidance through the process). Owners also describe the team as strong on clear explanations and answering questions, while a minority of recent reviews raise concerns about rudeness/shouting from an older vet, suggesting the experience can vary depending on who you see.

Goddard Veterinary Group Walthamstow is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group and describes itself as RCVS-accredited and operating as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the website and reviews, it handles routine care (vaccines, microchipping, parasite treatment) as well as medical and urgent cases (examples in reviews include an infected puncture wound/abscess drainage and a cat bladder blockage with a 3‑night stay). Review experiences are mixed: several owners describe strong medical care with daily update calls during inpatient treatment and compassionate end-of-life support, while others report difficulty getting appointments, feeling pushed toward costly tests, and inconsistent advice attributed (by the clinic, per one review) to staff turnover.
