County Vets Alsager
Stoke-On-Trent
Our Score (61/100)
County Vets Alsager is an RCVS-accredited general small-animal practice (the wider County Vets practice says it was established in the early 1960s). It treats a wide mix of pets beyond dogs and cats (including rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and small/large cage birds), and it’s listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on its stated offering, it’s set up for routine care and elective procedures (vaccinations, parasite control, neutering, microchipping), plus some more advanced options such as keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery and nurse clinics (e.g., nail clipping, anal sac expression, blood pressure checks). For emergencies, the website states support during normal hours with out-of-hours care handled by MiNightVet. Reviews are mixed: several owners describe warm, friendly handling (including with a “difficult” dog) and a clean premises, while multiple 1-star reviews raise serious concerns about communication around risk, repeated treatments that didn’t resolve chronic ear disease, and feeling pushed into or charged for care they later believed wasn’t needed.

Companion Care (Burton upon Trent ) Ltd trades as Vets4Pets and is described on its website as a locally owned practice operating under the Vets4Pets brand, with facilities including separate dog/cat wards and waiting areas and an isolation unit. The service list suggests the clinic is set up for in-house diagnostics (digital X‑ray, ultrasound, in-house lab) and surgical work (orthopaedics, soft-tissue surgery, cruciate surgery, fracture repair). Recent reviews are mixed: several owners describe straightforward, positive outcomes (e.g., flea treatment with improvement over two weeks, calm handling of a cat), while multiple 1‑star reviews report serious concerns including inconsistent diagnoses, unexpected cost increases, and pets’ conditions being missed or identified late by comparison with another vet.

Connaught House Veterinary Group Ltd appears set up primarily for routine, day-to-day small animal care (dogs and cats are specifically mentioned by reviewers), with an emphasis on trying to accommodate short-notice appointments. Recent reviews repeatedly mention friendly interactions at the front desk and with the vets, including staff “making a fuss” of nervous/excited pets and vets giving practical advice. One older review reports a serious appointment-handling problem (vet not present at the booked time, then refusing to acknowledge the issue), which conflicts with other comments about being easy to book and being fitted in.

Shire Vets Ltd is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The latest reviews attached to this listing are largely about costs and corporate ownership, with multiple reviewers explicitly linking “this group” to Linnaeus (owned by Mars Petcare)—though these comments describe experiences at surgeries they say were taken over, and even name other practices (e.g., “Peak Vets” and “The Willows”) rather than describing Shire Vets’ own premises. Concrete points raised in reviews include: - High quoted fees for dental work (one cat dental plan described as split into an investigation stage plus treatment, totaling ~£1,500). - Euthanasia cost mentioned for a rabbit (£210). - Claims of being pushed toward additional tests, and being charged for a same-day “emergency appointment” during normal hours.
