Best Vets in Guildford – Complete Local Guide

Oak Barn Veterinary Centre is a veterinary clinic offering routine and more advanced pet care, including diagnostics, surgery and dental work (per its website). Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations and shared decision-making (for example, a vet “walks you through the process” and offers options where possible), as well as handling nervous or rescue dogs calmly during procedures such as ultrasound. One reviewer also calls out “amazing” facilities and a welcoming front-desk experience.

The Guildford Vet describes itself as an independent, family-run small animal practice offering daily bookable appointments, open surgeries, and 24/7 on-site emergency care. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for urgent/overnight cases as well as in-practice diagnostics and surgery (including endoscopy and keyhole surgery). Clinic-specific details owners mention include: - Same-day urgent access and overnight hospitalisation for a sick dog, with a rapid diagnosis and continued care overnight. - Follow-up messages after a visit to check how a puppy was doing. - Support during end-of-life care, including keepsakes such as paw prints and fur clippings. - Staff taking time with nervous/anxious dogs, with owners saying options were clearly explained and questions answered.

Surrey Family Vets is an independently owned, family-run clinic founded by vet owners Natalia and Marcos, and the clinic states it is accepting new clients. Based on the website and recent reviews, it’s set up for both routine care and advanced procedures, with “full on-site diagnostics” and surgical capability including minimally invasive (keyhole) options. Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include: - Clear explanations and time for questions during appointments (Marcos is repeatedly named for this). - Personal follow-up after tests or procedures (owners describe Marcos calling/checking in himself). - Handling higher-complexity cases: one review describes TPLO surgery, and another mentions a “procedure that not many vets offer,” with strong aftercare. - Faster decision-making during acute illness because they have their “own equipment” for quicker results.
