Strathmore Veterinary Clinic Limited

Strathmore Veterinary Clinic Limited offers 24/7 on-site emergency care that the website says is staffed by its own vets and nurses, and it holds RCVS Practice Standards accreditation plus Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic status. Reviews describe a practice that handles routine care (vaccinations and full health checks), surgery follow-ups, and longer-term medical management—one owner details diagnosis and ongoing care for Cushing’s disease, and another describes post-op assessment for suspected infection that turned out to be nerve pain treated with medication and improvement within 48 hours. A recurring theme is supportive handling of difficult moments (owners mention being given tissues/water and time when pets were seriously ill or being put to sleep).

Services

•24/7 on-site emergency service, stated as staffed by the clinic’s own vets and nurses (website).
•Routine preventative care, including annual vaccinations and a more complete check mentioned in reviews: weighing and checks of teeth, coat, eyes, and ears.
•Surgery is referenced in reviews (a dog had lump removal surgery) with subsequent assessment and treatment when the dog was unwell afterwards.
•Diagnostics and longer-term condition management: a reviewer describes a vet diagnosing Cushing’s disease, researching treatment options, and teaching home care.
•Cat-focused handling/environment is specifically mentioned by reviewers and supported by the clinic’s Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation.

Pricing

•One recent review reports £170 for “to see the vet and 8 tablets.”

People

•Fran / Francesca (vet) is repeatedly named in reviews. Owners describe her diagnosing Cushing’s disease, explaining treatment options, teaching home care, and supporting pets “right until the last moment.” Another review describes her recognising a dog’s typical behaviour post-surgery and treating nerve pain rather than infection, with improvement within 48 hours.
•Jack is mentioned as providing “professional and informative” visits and advising during end-of-life care, including allowing time with the pet.
•The reception team is singled out for practical support during emotional situations (one owner describes being met with water, tissues, and comfort), and for being supportive through both new-pet arrivals and goodbyes.

Reviews

4.7 stars from 342 reviews. - Long-term continuity: multiple owners mention being with the practice for 20+ years, including care for dogs and other pets (rabbits, even a chicken).

•Clear, option-based decision-making: reviewers describe being offered a range of options, with help choosing a plan that balances care and cost.
•Emergency/any-time access: one reviewer says it’s reassuring to be able to speak to “one of my vets… no matter what the time or day,” aligning with the stated 24/7 service.
•Thorough routine appointments: vaccinations paired with broader checks (weight and dental/ear/eye/coat checks mentioned).
•Strong support around serious illness and euthanasia: owners mention time to say goodbye and reception support (tissues/water/comfort).
•Cost can be a concern: a recent 2-star review cites £170 for a consultation and 8 tablets.

We've been with Strathmore for well over 20 years covering 2 dogs, 2 rabbits and even a chicken. All of the team are fantastic at their jobs - technically excellent, compassionate and caring (on at least 3 occasions now I've ended up in reception in tears with an ill pet to be met with a glass of water, some tissues and an arm around the shoulder, thank you!). We have always felt listened to and that our animals were in the best possible hands. Examples of this were one of our dogs who was diagnosed by Fran with Cushing's Disease, which was quite unusual back 15 years ago. She worked tirelessly to research what this meant for him, the treatment options available and taught us how to care for him at home. She was there for him right until the last moment. Another is our current dog who was taken poorly after recent surgery to remove a lump, we were worried about infection but Fran has learned enough about his character over the years to understand he was actually just in a little more nerve pain than expected and trying to hide it, prescribed him a neuralgic and he bounced back within 48 hours. The team have always laid out the range of options available to us with our pets and helped select the best option from a balanced care and cost perspective. I simply wouldn't trust another practice with my animals.

Extremely professional and caring vet. The vets are knowledgeable approachable and incredibly empathetic. However, the stars are always the reception team. Such a friendly warm welcome, polite, and extremely caring. They have been awesome through the welcome of new pets, and the saddest of times as we say goodbye. We are always grateful for their time, understanding and support

I do not live in Andover but drive to Strathmore vets as they really are the best, i have been using them for over 20 years. It's so reassuring to know that I will get to speak to one of my vets If I need to no matter what the time or day.

As always a very professional and informative visit to the clinic with Jack. My girls have been with Strathmore since we first got them as puppies and we have had the same care and attention through out, which can't be faulted. We lost one of our girls last year and again nJack was there to advise and allowed us to spend time with her. Francesca and all of her team provide an excellent veterinary service, thank you.
