Bath Veterinary Group – Vets in Bath
Clinic Overview
Bath Veterinary Group is a multi-branch practice (a main site plus six further branches are described on its website). It’s set up for routine veterinary care and urgent support, and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours).
From the latest reviews available, owners describe thorough examinations and clear explanations, including a “quick referral for specialist treatment” and a same‑day response from the hospital. Several reviews also mention staff adjusting their handling for nervous dogs (keeping them calm and comfortable, with treats at reception). However, there is a sharply conflicting account from a first‑time owner describing an eye problem that they believe was not treated appropriately early on, and they also report being unable to see a different vet despite requesting one.
Services
- •General consultations and examinations (owners mention “thorough examinations and explanations”).
- •Support for nervous/anxious dogs during visits (described as taking particular care to keep a nervous dog calm and comfortable).
- •Referral for specialist treatment when needed (one review describes a quick specialist referral and same‑day response from the receiving hospital).
- •Emergency veterinary services (listed in the clinic data as 24/7 or extended hours; no further detail provided).
- •Veterinary nurse training facility (listed in the clinic data).
Pricing
- •Consultation fees mentioned in a recent review: £64 for a first visit and £128 for a second visit (context: an eye condition case reported by the reviewer).
Reviews
4.6 stars from 138 reviews.
- •Handling nervous pets: one owner says their nervous dog is kept calm and comfortable each visit and now appears excited to go in; treats at reception are mentioned.
- •Communication and thoroughness: owners cite thorough exams and explanations.
- •Referral pathway: one review mentions a quick referral for specialist treatment and a same‑day response from the hospital.
- •End‑of‑life care: one owner describes being treated with kindness and compassion during euthanasia, and says advice was honest.

Heart Broken Experience - As first-time pet owners, we trusted the vet to provide the right care and guidance. At our initial appointment, we were given a gel treatment — something we later found available over the counter on Amazon. We were not advised that antibiotics were necessary. Tragically, after just three days of using the gel, our pet lost an eye. For the second appointment, we specifically requested a different vet, but were seen by the same one again. This was extremely disappointing. The vet showed no compassion and did not acknowledge that delaying the appropriate treatment may have caused our pet’s condition to worsen. We paid £64 for the first visit and £128 for the second. We are heartbroken and feel profoundly let down by the care we received. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this veterinary practice

Amazing vets; so welcoming, friendly and helpful. My dog Buttercup is always so well cared for and they always pay particular attention to her nervous nature and do all in their power to keep he calm, comfortable and happy every visit…they’re so brilliant she actually appears excited to go in now! (She loves the liver snaps at reception hehe) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We have always had excellent experiences with this vet, no matter who we saw. Our dog always received excellent care and everyone was incredibly friendly. When we recently had to have her put to sleep, they treated us and her with such kindness and compassion and were always honest with their advice.
