Medivet Crowthorne Kynoch Vets

Medivet Crowthorne Kynoch Vets is part of the Medivet group. Based on the information available, the practice covers routine appointments (check-ups and nail trims), 24/7 emergency care via Medivet’s emergency centres (with a stated out-of-hours consultation fee), and has experience with small mammals/exotics (a hamster is specifically mentioned). Recent reviews repeatedly describe staff making time to explain next steps (including medication workarounds for a frightened rescue hamster) and handling difficult patients for practical procedures like nail trims. There is also a contrasting account where a nervous dog’s annual check could not be completed and the owner was advised muzzle training, leading to frustration about making two trips.
