Dock Street Vets

Dock Street Vets describes itself as an independent veterinary clinic. Based on the latest reviews available to us, owners most often talk about dogs and cats being treated for specific medical and surgical problems, with multiple mentions of clear explanations and aftercare. Concrete examples include a broken paw that recovered fully, a spay procedure with “exceptional” aftercare, and a Jack Russell having two separate problems treated with the vet explaining things carefully. The website also states that appointments are available throughout the day, and gives a number to call for out-of-hours emergencies.
