GKG Vets offers appointment-based consultations and partners with VetsNow for out-of-hours emergency care (via a partner clinic). The practice promotes a Pet Health Club® Plus plan where consultations are included, and it describes itself as a Cat Friendly Clinic. Policies stated on the website include 48 hours’ notice for repeat medications and that collection is appointment-only. From the latest reviews available, owners often describe friendly, supportive interactions (including at end-of-life), but there is also a sharply negative account alleging unnecessary cancer-related procedures and poor decision-making for an older dog—so experiences appear mixed depending on the case.

Donnington Grove Veterinary Group is noted in the provided clinic data as a veterinary nurse training facility. Ownership (independent vs part of a larger group) isn’t stated in the information provided. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe a practice that’s set up for routine care and ongoing pet health planning (including health plans and neutering discussions), and for support during serious illness and end-of-life situations. Decision-relevant specifics mentioned include: - Staff talking a new owner through health plan setup and neutering questions “clearly and concisely” (Karen is named). - Reports of the team being supportive when pets were very unwell, including during lockdown, and in one case trying to save a dog and supporting the family when it wasn’t possible. - A conflicting access experience: one reviewer says they were told the clinic only sees registered pets and would need a two-week wait to be seen.
