Best Vets in Norwich – Complete Local Guide

Medivet Thorpe St Andrew is part of the Medivet group and is led (per its website) by veterinary surgeon Gerhard Retief. It appears set up for routine and preventative care alongside in-practice diagnostics and common procedures: the website lists 15‑minute consultations, in-house lab work, X‑rays and ultrasound, plus dentistry and neutering. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations (including “briefing and de-briefing” around an operation), not feeling rushed during consultations, and pets being handled calmly (including a nervous Chihuahua and a kitten staying settled during the exam). One reviewer also describes being fit in the same day for an elderly cat despite not being registered.

Taverham Veterinary Practice Ltd describes itself as a veterinary hospital with modern facilities and specialist equipment, including a dedicated emergency service and a rehabilitation centre (hydrotherapy/physiotherapy), plus a “luxury cattery.” It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention: - Emergency support that includes phone triage and urgent care for seizures/vomiting/dehydration and medication overdose concerns. - Diagnostics that sometimes involve leaving a pet in for tests before a same-day update and discharge. - A policy that (per one review) requires pets to have been seen within the last 12 months before parasite medication can be supplied. There is also a clear split in experiences: many accounts describe smooth, reassuring care and responsive communication, while one detailed account alleges months of repeated tests without a correct diagnosis and significant cost.

Medivet Catton is part of the Medivet group, and is managed by partner and veterinary surgeon Hanneke Kruger. The practice offers 15‑minute consultations and has on-site diagnostic facilities (including an in-house laboratory, X‑rays and ultrasound), suggesting it’s set up for routine care as well as investigations when pets need tests or imaging. Owners also describe practical, hands-on handling for nervous animals (using treats, extra nurse support, and patience), and good communication during procedures (being kept up to date throughout).

Medivet Horsford / All Creatures Healthcare is part of the Medivet group. The information available points to a clinic that handles a mix of routine care (vaccinations and health checks) and more complex or urgent cases, including surgery and out‑of‑hours emergencies. Recent reviews repeatedly describe the team making practical adjustments for nervous pets (including vaccinating a large anxious dog in the owner’s vehicle) and providing a lot of time and support during euthanasia appointments. There are also examples of non-traditional pets being treated, including a lizard and hens (one with peritonitis where fluid was drained and the treatment explained).

Rowan House Vets is described by reviewers as an independent practice and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From owner accounts, it appears set up for both routine care and more involved medical/surgical cases: multiple reviews mention pets having operations/surgery, post-op checks, and being kept updated during procedures. Practical touches mentioned include separate sections for cats and dogs in the waiting area, and a Health Pet Club arrangement where flea and worm treatments are posted out to owners. Several owners also highlight clear handovers between vets after surgery (including the next-day vet knowing the full details and the surgeon requesting updates/photos of wounds).
