Harbour Veterinary Group - Hayling Island

Harbour Veterinary Group – Hayling Island is part of the Harbour Veterinary Group and focuses on small-animal care. The clinic’s published service list includes core first-opinion work (consultations, vaccinations, neutering, parasite control) plus diagnostics (X‑ray/ultrasound/in‑house lab), dentistry and surgery, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews available to us, decision-relevant signals are mixed: several long-term clients describe consistent support over many years (including help through a dog’s serious illness and after bereavement), while one reviewer reports a very different experience—feeling their cat was handled roughly and saying they were turned away when they needed urgent help due to no vet being on site.
