Havant Vets4Pets Ltd

Havant Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group and is based inside a Pets at Home store. The practice lists a broad set of in-house diagnostics and facilities (including an in-house laboratory, ultrasound and X‑ray, operating theatre, isolation unit, hospital ward, and separate dog & cat wards), and reviews also describe them handling both routine care and less common species (for example, a snake with suspected scale rot and a chicken with an injury).

Owners repeatedly mention staff taking time to settle anxious pets during exams and vaccinations, being able to book in at short notice, and clear explanations during appointments (including describing what they were doing as they worked). One review also gives a concrete example of pricing transparency: a chicken wound clean-and-bandage appointment that took around 45 minutes and was charged at a “basic” £59.99 plus medication.
