Clinic Overview

Archersfield Veterinary Clinic is described in recent reviews as a practice that handles routine surgery and short-notice sick visits, with a strong emphasis on explaining treatment clearly. Owners specifically mention a spay appointment with a post-procedure phone call from the vet to explain what was done, and detailed discharge instructions about medication and aftercare questions. Reviews also reference being “fitted in at short notice” for an antibiotic when another vet couldn’t see the pet, and compassionate support during serious, unsuccessful attempts to save two dogs, including clear professionalism around difficult outcomes.
