Archway Veterinary Practice

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.

We have used Archway vets since we moved here four years ago, and we couldn’t praise them more highly. From the moment you walk in you are dealt with in a friendly but professional way. The nursing staff are all amazing, and so helpful. The whole team of vets are, without exception, excellent. They listen to your concerns, and go over and above to help, often researching or doing extra work to ensure the best outcomes.

Our dog was a pointer rescued from Cyprus and had Leishmania, which we were aware of and had researched extensively when we adopted him. Unlike many Vets who can be quite judgmental and dismissive, they were really supportive and willing to learn more about a disease that's not very familiar to UK vets for obvious reasons. In the last few years of his life, our dog was a frequent flyer at the vets, having had a bad hock wound that would not heal. It later turned out the underlying reason for this was that he had the later stages of cancer which we found out during a pre-op scan. The care and affection with which our dog (and ourselves) were treated is something we'll be forever grateful for. It's not often your dog LIKES going to the vets and that's down to the staff - from the admin staff (special shout out to the lovely Linda) to the vets, to the wonderful nurses who changed his bandages 3 times a week - thank you from us & Bones. We have now decided to foster for a while and will be going back to Archway for future care. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Archway.

I was referred to see Kim at Archway Vets when my 3 year old cat had a tumour in her eye. Kim was so kind throughout the entire process and made making a difficult decision that little bit easier. Surgery was performed within 4 days and was a success and Betty has adapted well to life with one eye. The entire team at Archway have been so kind, from reception, nurses and the vets. Thank you so much to everyone at Archway Vets, I couldn’t be more grateful.

My little dog was diagnosed with Addison's disease 4 years ago by archway surgery. Since then she has had an injection once a month and blood test every 6 months. They always make a fuss of her and give her a treat. They also do all our insurance claim paper work 😃
