Stone Veterinary Centre is described by one reviewer as an independent practice. From the information available, it appears set up for routine care (check-ups and boosters) as well as more sensitive appointments, with multiple reviews highlighting efforts to reduce stress for anxious or reactive pets and to support owners through end-of-life care. The clinic is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Concrete examples from reviews include: a vet meeting an anxious dog in the car park to make vaccination less stressful; “reasonable adjustments” for a reactive dog during appointments; and a cat euthanasia handled with empathy and respect, with owners offered options and indicative prices to choose from without judgement.

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.
