Best Vets in Petersfield – Complete Local Guide

St Peter’s Vets Ltd describes itself as a long-established small animal practice (over 60 years) with in-house diagnostics (on-site lab, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and more advanced procedures such as endoscopy and laparoscopic (“key-hole”) surgery. The website also states it provides a full 24‑hour emergency service 365 days a year, and the clinic is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Across the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention: - being seen quickly and helped “straight away or as quick as possible” when they need something - calm, patient handling for nervous dogs, without rushing the appointment - vets giving treatment options (rather than a single “this is what we’re doing” plan) - support around difficult end-of-life situations, and then ongoing care for new pets

The Canine Fitness Centre is set up primarily for canine physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, with facilities that include a hydrotherapy pool and an underwater treadmill, plus an onsite vet. Across the latest reviews, owners describe a structured process (a thorough initial assessment followed by a treatment plan) and practical rehab support such as tailored home exercise plans. Several reviews give mobility-focused outcomes—for example, a dog that had been limping badly later returning to longer walks, and arthritis cases improving gait and comfort after aquatic treadmill sessions. Owners also mention the team taking time to build confidence in the water for nervous dogs.

Petersfield Integrated Vets is an independent veterinary practice (established 2015) focused on integrated veterinary medicine—combining conventional care with acupuncture and laser-based therapies. Reviews consistently describe longer, calmer consultations and a strong emphasis on reducing pet stress: one owner notes standard appointments are 20 minutes (compared with 10 minutes elsewhere), and multiple reviews mention pets being given time to settle rather than being rushed or pressured. Owners also describe the clinic being used for chronic pain/mobility cases (e.g., arthritis, back pain) and for support alongside conventional treatment, including a second-opinion scenario where surgery was avoided after a change in management. Concrete examples from reviews include: twice-weekly acupuncture and laser therapy for feline arthritis, laser acupuncture used for an older dog with a complicated dental/nasal infection scenario, and a “full MoT” visit that included a calm blood test with treats and handling that kept dogs relaxed.

Archway Veterinary Practice is a small-animal clinic established in 1991. The website describes a broad first-opinion setup (consultations, surgery, dentistry, imaging and in-house lab work), with additional listed interests in cardiology and ophthalmology, plus Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver) status and RCVS recognitions (RCVS General Practice; RCVS Client Service Award – Outstanding). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviewers most often describe thorough case-handling rather than quick “in-and-out” appointments—for example, vets “researching or doing extra work” to improve outcomes, frequent nurse-led bandage changes (3 times a week) for a long-running wound, and an eye-tumour surgery reported as completed within 4 days of referral. One recent rating is 1-star with no written detail provided, which contrasts with many detailed 5-star accounts.

Green Door Vets presents itself as an independent, family-run veterinary practice (“doing things differently”), with the website emphasising traditional values alongside modern technology and “excellent care at a fair price.” Reviews suggest the practice is geared toward day-to-day primary care and supporting owners through practical situations—examples include a same-day appointment offered for a suspected UTI and hands-on help with a litter of seven Labrador puppies (including both a visit and in-clinic support). Multiple reviewers also single out the team’s ability to handle nervous dogs calmly, but one recent 1‑star review alleges significant problems obtaining upfront dental pricing, describing “hidden price lists” and repeated unsuccessful requests over ~2 months.
