Stone Veterinary Centre is described by one reviewer as an independent practice.

Shires Veterinary Practice is a long-established clinic (the website says it has provided veterinary care for over 70 years). Based on the information available, it appears set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, reminders/health checks, parasite prevention plans) as well as medical and dental work (e.g., scale-and-polish discussions, dental X‑rays, possible extractions, injections and ongoing tablets).
From the latest reviews, owners often describe prompt handling of sick pets (one cat “dealt with very quickly” and returned to full health) and a calm, patient approach during appointments (time and patience given for rabbits that don’t travel well, with questions answered). However, one detailed negative review reports inconsistent clinical advice over time—particularly around dentistry—and concerns about cost estimates and limited home-care guidance for dental health.
