Clinic Overview

Downe Vets offers routine care alongside more advanced options such as keyhole surgery, and it also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic appears to see a mix of standard appointments and more sensitive or ongoing cases: reviews specifically mention care for rabbits with age-related, ongoing health issues, and support during end-of-life euthanasia for an older dog. In the latest reviews available to us, owners describe staff taking time to answer first-time owner questions, providing “after care,” and being able to work around clients’ schedules.
