Best Vets in Fareham – Complete Local Guide

Companion Care (Fareham) Ltd operates under the Vets for Pets group and is based inside a Pets at Home store. The practice is set up for routine care and surgery (with an operating theatre, hospital ward, isolation unit and an in-house laboratory), and also lists equipment/services that support more in-depth workups (e.g., ultrasound, endoscopy, ECG and cardiology tools). It also states a 24‑hour cancellation / fail-to-attend policy.

From the latest reviews, owners frequently mention: update calls during and after procedures (including a call the next day), staff taking time to settle anxious dogs before examinations or surgery, and pets appearing comfortable when discharged after operations. One recent review reports a serious concern about aftercare following surgery in an elderly dog (including the dog dying the same evening) and describes the cost as unexpectedly high.

Fareham Creek Veterinary Surgery is an independent, privately owned practice and an RCVS-accredited General Practice. The website describes facilities set up for separating cats and dogs (designated waiting areas and separate hospital wards), plus an in-house laboratory, alongside dental care, surgery, and urgent care. Reviews most often highlight vets who explain options clearly, will fit pets in when needed, and take time helping anxious rescue dogs get used to visiting; one reviewer also flags that emergency medication felt expensive compared with buying online.

Companion Care (Fareham Collingwood) Ltd operates under the Companion Care Vets brand, and the clinic website describes it as a “locally-owned veterinary practice” based inside a Pets at Home store. The practice presents itself as set up for diagnostics and surgery, with on-site imaging and lab capability (e.g., ultrasound, X‑ray, in‑house lab) plus facilities such as an operating theatre, isolation unit, and hospital ward.

• •clear communication and follow-up (including a phone call to go through blood results line-by-line)
• •gentle handling of nervous or reactive pets (a “snappy” dachshund; nervous rabbits)
• •a mix of experiences around end-of-life visits: some describe very compassionate support, while one review describes a rude, unempathetic reception experience
• •repeated concerns from some reviewers about high pricing and how costs are discussed

Portchester Vets presents itself as a practice that focuses on informed choice: the website states they aim for “no pressure, no sales,” offering treatment options aligned with an owner’s wishes and budget, and estimating fees before work is done. They also describe steps to reduce stress for anxious pets (treats on hand and encouraging dogs to drop in for a fuss and a biscuit), plus a quiet family room if there’s a delay or emergency.

In the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly describe clear explanations during consults, being talked through options and costs before treatment, and gentle handling of nervous or frightened dogs. More complex care is also mentioned in reviews, including a kitten’s leg amputation performed on Christmas Eve, with the owner describing strong support and guidance throughout.

Vet2Cat- The Clinic is a cat-only veterinary practice offering both a “brand new” clinic with equipment for blood tests, surgery and dentals, and a mobile (home-visit) service. The website states it is a Silver level accredited Cat Friendly Clinic (International Cat Care). Reviews most often describe clear communication during procedures (including updates and even a recovery photo during a spay/microchip) and options-based decision-making (for example, arranging a biopsy for an oral mass rather than proceeding straight to major dental extractions). There is also a sharp point of disagreement in the reviews: one owner alleges a needless toe amputation was advised for an older cat, while others describe thorough investigations and being offered multiple options.
