Bath Veterinary Centre Ltd – Vets in Bath
Clinic Overview
Bath Veterinary Centre Ltd is described by reviewers as an independent practice (contrasted with “chain vets”), with an owner-vet presence mentioned in recent feedback. It appears set up for routine care and common illnesses, with multiple examples of staff adapting handling to the animal rather than forcing a standard exam.
Concrete details owners mention include: a vet waiting around 30 minutes after closing to see a dog with an allergic reaction; a vet examining a dog’s ears while lying on the floor so the dog didn’t have to be lifted onto the table; and cats reportedly staying calm after visits (one owner said their cat came straight out of the carrier and relaxed, rather than hiding as usual). Several reviewers also say they feel the practice doesn’t push unnecessary add-ons compared with corporate chains.
Services
Services and situations explicitly mentioned in the latest reviews include
- •Annual vaccinations (“yearly jab”) and general check-ups
- •Assessment and treatment for an allergic reaction (same-day accommodation described by one owner)
- •Illness consultations, including an ear examination for a dog that was unwell

Named individuals mentioned by reviewers
- •Joy (reception) and Luke (reception): described as welcoming and kind at the front desk, helping first-time visitors feel at ease.
- •Lesley/Leslie (role not stated): repeatedly mentioned for gentle handling—one owner said their cat was unusually relaxed immediately after the appointment.
- •Mr Harrison (vet, implied): mentioned alongside a nurse during a vaccination/check-up, described as patient and professional.
- •Roger (vet, implied): one reviewer calls him “the best vet I’ve ever known,” contrasting his approach with experiences at chain practices.
Reviews
Google rating: 4.8 stars from 127 reviews.
- •Flexibility for urgent problems: one owner reports the vet stayed after closing to see a dog with an allergic reaction.
- •Low-stress handling: examples include a vet examining a dog on the floor to avoid lifting, and a cat remaining calm enough to relax immediately after the visit.
- •“Not upselling” is a recurring claim: multiple reviewers contrast the practice with chain vets and say they felt recommendations were focused on the animal’s needs rather than selling extras.

It was my first time visiting today with my cat and I am blown away. The reception team Joy and Luke were so lovely and kind. Lesley was an absolute joy. I've never felt so at ease in a vets before and she was absolutely gorgeous with my cat. Lesley was so helpful, sweet and extremely compassionate. Normally my cat hides for a good while after a vet visit but she came right on out of her carrier and flopped on the floor happily. The best vets ever and I know that my cat is in very very safe hands. You can tell they are passionate and truly care about what they do.

This practice seems to only hire the most compassionate people you'll ever meet. The care is always spot on, and their manner with your pet and you is so kind. We have been in a couple of times and seen the younger female vet (sorry! I've forgotten your name), and honestly last time I nearly cried she was so sweet with my dog. My dog was feeling unwell so rather than get her up on the table to look in her ears, the vet lay on the floor so my dog didn't have to move. Being independent they also don't try and rip you off like a lot of the chains do. It's all about the animals wellbeing with them, not about the bottom line and trying to upsell you extra services etc. The best vets in Bath.

Roger is the best vet I've ever known. Some of the chain vets haven't got a bloody clue and are only interested in selling you drugs and creams for your pets when they don't even need them.

Such kind and caring staff, especially Luke and Leslie who always take such good care and are so gentle with my pets. They are also so helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. I always know my pets are in good hands at Bath Veterinary Centre. Bath Veterinary Centre provides an animal centred, good value and honest service. I really can't recommend them enough and wouldn't take my pets anywhere else. Thank you all for your hard work!
