How to Choose a Vet

As a pet owner, finding a vet and choosing the right one for both you and your furry friend is one of the most important decisions you will make. Learn about the different factors to consider when choosing a vet and why we think our service could be the perfect fit.

HOW TO CHOOSE A VET

Consider your Pet’s needs

The first place to start when you are thinking about how to find a good vet is considering the services that your pet may need, now and in the future. If you’re a new pet owner, do you need kitten or puppy vaccinations in addition to vet consultations and check ups? 

If you’re a frequent traveller, will you also need a vet that can provide you with the correct travel documentation for your pet too, such as Animal Health Certificates or Export Health Certificates? 

At our practice in Kensington, we provide a whole range of veterinary services from vaccinations to microchipping, consultations and pet travel services. We treat pets of all shapes and sizes and in all stages of life.  

Veterinary Facilities

As well as the services they provide, another consideration for choosing a vet is the facilities at the practice. 

Modern diagnostic tools, in-house laboratories, and clean, well-equipped surgical suites all reflect a commitment to high-quality care. These factors can help you understand how to find a good vet who can support your pet throughout their life. We have a full suite of diagnostic testing including blood and urine analysis and cancer screening with many results available on the same day for added peace of mind.

“We treat pets of all shapes and sizes and in all stages of life.”

Reputation and Recommendations Matter

Word of mouth is one of the best ways to find a vet practice you can trust. Ask fellow pet owners in your area about their experiences: are the staff friendly and professional? Do they feel listened to and supported? Online reviews and local community forums can also provide valuable insights into how a practice treats both pets and their owners.

At our veterinary practice in Kensington, we pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with our clients and it’s one of the many benefits of an independent vet. Many of our new patients who come to us particularly appreciate the personal service and continuity of care we offer.

A Personal Touch

When researching how to choose a vet, many pet owners overlook the value of personalised care. Independent practices, like ours, often provide a more tailored and compassionate experience compared to large corporate chains. With us, you’re likely to see the same vet at each consultation, which helps build trust and familiarity. 

Location and Accessibility

Convenience is key, especially in an emergency. When trying to find a vet in Kensington, consider how close the practice is to your home and the ease of getting there with your furry friend in tow.  Ready to Find a Vet you can Trust?
