Stewart Vets

Stewart Vets is a small-animal practice established in the early 1970s and refurbished in 2023, operating as a trading name of CVS (UK) Limited. The clinic advertises routine care (consultations, vaccinations, parasite control) alongside dentistry, diagnostics, and surgery, and also lists care for exotics (including birds and reptiles). It’s accredited as an RCVS General Practice and holds Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver) and Rabbit Friendly Clinic (Silver) status, and it’s also a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews available, experiences are mixed: several owners describe welcoming reception and vets who explain what to do next (including a vet examining a budgie and providing recommended next steps), while one recent reviewer reports repeated visits for a very sick dog without a satisfactory diagnosis or improvement, and felt cost was prioritised.

Google rating: 4.5 stars from 266 reviews. “”

• •Multiple reviewers mention welcoming reception staff and kind/helpful vets.
• •One review gives a detailed example of avian care: a budgie examined (including heart auscultation), with the owner following the vet’s recommended next steps; the waiting room is described as clean, modern.
• •A recent 1‑star review describes a serious negative experience: several visits without a diagnosis or effective treatment for a dog that deteriorated, a perception of cost being prioritised, concerns about euthanasia pricing, and being asked to arrange cremation via a third party; the reviewer also says they weren’t informed about a vaccine their dog needed.
