Hunt's Veterinary Clinics

Hunt's Veterinary Clinics appears to operate as part of the Vets4Pets group (the listed website is vet4pets.co.uk). Based on client accounts, this practice is commonly used for routine care (puppy support, check-ups, injections) and minor same-day concerns (for example, a suspected tick removal close to closing time). Reviews also describe diagnostic work for lumps (needle sampling and lab testing) and onward referral for surgery—though one owner reports a serious breakdown in expectations around lump management and surgery arrangements.

Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include

• •Puppy “early stages” support, described as “holding our hand” through first-time ownership.
• •Check-ups and injections, including staff managing a stressed dog during the visit.
• •A thorough exam for a suspected tick that “wouldn’t come off,” accommodated quickly at the end of the day.
• •Needle sampling of a lump and sending it off for testing, followed by a referral rather than surgery at the planned appointment (as reported by one reviewer).

• •Routine care experiences (check-ups and injections) are described as prompt and professional, with staff managing nervous pets.
