Downland Veterinary Group

Downland Veterinary Group has been caring for pets since 1946 (per its website). Recent reviews describe a practice that handles day-to-day preventive care (like injections) as well as more serious, fast-developing conditions (one owner mentions a cat with a tumour under the tongue) and end-of-life support. Owners repeatedly mention practical communication and follow-through: reminder letters for missed injections, treatment options discussed before and during appointments, and support with ongoing medication and repeat prescriptions. Several reviews also reference being talked through each step during euthanasia, with a focus on keeping the pet comfortable.
