Summergrove Veterinary Centre

Summergrove Veterinary Centre appears to operate as part of the wider practice represented on the Summerhill Vets website (and is referred to as a “veterinary group” by reviewers). Recent reviews describe a clinic that offers home visits and seems set up for both routine care and sensitive support for older pets.

Concrete examples mentioned by owners include

• •Home-visit appointments for a cat’s booster jab, claw trim, and health check (with a vet and a veterinary nurse attending).
• •End-of-life care at home, with staff coming out to help a dog be put to sleep.
• •Fitting a cat in at short notice when the clinic was busy, with a nurse handling the cat particularly well.
• •Some owners describe time spent explaining medication and concerns, including arranging a follow-up.

One older review raises concerns about high prices and the handling of pet travel paperwork, so experiences are not uniformly positive across all time periods.

Services

Services explicitly mentioned in the available information include

• •Home visits (used for a cat’s booster vaccination, claw trimming, and health check).
• •Vaccinations/booster jabs.
• •Claw/nail trimming.
• •General health checks.
• •Appointments with a veterinary nurse (including cat handling support noted by a reviewer).
• •Medication discussions and follow-up arrangements (a reviewer describes explanations about their dog’s medication and a planned follow-up visit).
• •End-of-life euthanasia support at home (staff attended a home visit to help a dog “across the bridge”).

Pricing

Only one explicit price was provided (in an older review about pet travel paperwork)

• •£175 (service fee mentioned by the reviewer for travel-related paperwork) plus £45 to see the pet for a check (described as “just to listen to the heart”).

That same review claims this practice had “highest prices around,” while other reviews do not discuss cost.
