Best Vets in Hungerford – Complete Local Guide

Hungerford Vets Ltd is an RCVS-accredited veterinary hospital that offers routine appointments (including nurse-led clinics) as well as stated 24/7 emergency care. The website highlights preventative healthcare and online booking for specific appointment types, including vaccination boosters, medication checks, and six‑month health checks. In the latest reviews, owners describe calm handling of large/nervous dogs during consultations and mention dental surgery care “before, during and after” an operation. A notable negative review describes a serious administrative failure around arranging a cat’s cremation, with delays and no apology despite a partial refund.

Lambourn Equine Vets Ltd is an equine-only practice (as reflected in the name and in reviews describing treatment for multiple horses). The latest reviews repeatedly describe coordinated, team-based care for significant problems—such as an injured horse, a splint fracture, and a severe tooth abscess with a sinus infection—alongside frequent updates and clear communication between clinicians and with owners. Reviews also mention strong operational support from reception (coordination/efficiency) and at least one “sleep over” stay for a horse, suggesting the practice can accommodate cases that need monitoring beyond a single visit.

Rossdales Lambourn is a Rossdales-branded veterinary clinic that offers emergency veterinary services (stated as 24/7 or extended hours). Based on the limited written feedback available (1 Google review), the only detail provided is a general recommendation describing the clinic as a “professional outfit,” with no specifics about treatments, facilities, or communication.

Hamilton Equine Veterinary Practice Limited describes itself (on its website) as an independently owned ambulatory equine veterinary practice, established in 2023, providing care principally for Thoroughbred racehorses. The latest reviews available to us, however, repeatedly refer to “Hambleton(s) / Hambleton Equine Clinic” and include examples such as colic surgery and care for a miniature Shetland pony, which doesn’t neatly match an ambulatory-only, racehorse-focused setup—so it’s worth clarifying what facilities/services are actually being provided under this listing. Decision-relevant points from recent reviews include: - Out-of-hours attendance for colic is described, including a rapid visit and phone updates while the owner was travelling. - A separate review describes life-saving colic surgery with an emphasis on minimising discomfort and daily phone-call updates. - There are also complaints about unclear/contradictory billing explanations (upfront payment requested, followed by an additional bill later).

McGonnell & Gillatt Equine Veterinary Practice is an equine-only, fully mobile practice offering on-premises examinations, investigation and treatment for horses and ponies. The website highlights reproductive and stud work (including artificial insemination), along with general equine medicine, vaccinations, passports and vetting. It also states the practice provides 24-hour emergency cover and offers “zone visits” for routine, non-emergency cases. Recent written feedback available to us is mostly positive about reassurance and willingness to help, but there is also a 1‑star review with no explanation provided.
