Beehive Vets

Beehive Vets is an independent, family-run clinic (not a corporate chain) that treats dogs, cats and rabbits and highlights a “cat-friendly” setup with separate cat waiting and ward areas (iCatCare Cat-Friendly accredited, Gold). From both the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, consults, parasite control), diagnostics (in-house testing, imaging and scans), and surgery (including laparoscopic spays and orthopaedic procedures).

Recent reviewers describe being booked in promptly for urgent concerns, having tests and a scan done within the appointment, and getting straightforward explanations of options and prognosis. One owner also specifically appreciated that they weren’t pushed into buying products or having unnecessary tests, alongside receiving up-to-date advice on vaccination, neutering and diet.
