Clinic Overview

Dunton Veterinary Clinic is a veterinary practice that also operates boarding kennels and is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews show a split experience: several owners describe vets and nurses handling reactive or nervous dogs in ways that keep visits calm (for example, managing a dog-reactive dog to keep stress down for other pets), while a small number of reviewers report serious issues around unexpected cost changes and communication.

Concrete details mentioned include: owners being able to “pop in” when worried (where time is made available), pets receiving treats/cuddles to reduce anxiety, and boarding kennels described by one reviewer as unheated in winter (blankets used instead), with a quoted two-week stay costing “£1000+”.

Services

  • General veterinary care (routine appointments and ongoing care are implied by multiple long-term clients describing repeated use over years).
  • Support for reactive/nervous dogs: one owner says the team understands their dog is dog-reactive and manages visits to keep them stress-free.
  • Boarding kennels: described in detail by one reviewer who visited to assess suitability, including comments about the building, space, and winter heating arrangements.
  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility (listed in the clinic’s structured service data).

Pricing

  • One reviewer reports being asked to pay an additional “extra 600” above an earlier quote at the time of treatment (no further detail provided).
  • One reviewer mentions kennels being “£1000+ for the 2wks” (exact services included aren’t specified).

People

  • Jackie (named in a review): repeatedly credited with “always” taking great care of a client’s dog, alongside “the team.”
  • Caroline (named in a boarding-kennels review): described as pleasant when greeting and showing the facilities.
  • Some reviews praise the vet and staff for professionalism and for helping pets feel comfortable (treats/cuddles mentioned).
  • Other reviews describe the owner/main vet as rude and passive-aggressive in a dispute about an increased charge (this is one reviewer’s account).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.4 stars from 86 reviews.

  • Handling and stress reduction: owners mention reactive dogs being managed so visits are stress-free, and pets receiving treats/cuddles so they’re not nervous about attending.
  • Care quality: multiple reviews describe strong veterinary care and professionalism, including long-term clients returning since the practice opened.
  • Admin/communication problems: one reviewer describes repeated chasing for bills/answers and promised call-backs not happening; another reports a dispute over an additional charge not previously discussed.
  • Boarding kennels concerns (single review): one reviewer reports no heating for winter boarding (blankets used instead), describes the facilities as run down, and compares the quoted cost unfavourably to other kennels.
