Best Vets in Camden – Complete Local Guide

Creature Comforts (this branch) operates as part of the wider Creature Comforts brand (reviews mention multiple “locations” and an app), and appears set up for both routine care and complex procedures. The clinic’s own information highlights on-site diagnostics (including imaging and an in-house lab) plus advanced options like endoscopy and keyhole surgery, while recent reviews describe hands-on treatment for allergies, tumour removals, a toe amputation, and eye surgery. Owners also point to practical, experience-shaping details: calm, clear communication during stressful procedures, detailed feedback during appointments, and responsive support via the clinic’s app/live chat.

IVET Services (Elizavet) describes itself as an independent veterinary clinic, offering routine care alongside advanced surgery and telemedicine. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe the clinic being used for orthopaedic and other complex surgical cases (including TPLO for cruciate ligament damage, fracture repair, and tumour removal), with clear emphasis on detailed explanations before/after procedures. Concrete examples mentioned include: post-op update calls (e.g., a spay patient’s owner called mid-morning to confirm recovery), rehab support after TPLO (hydrotherapy and physiotherapy referenced), and visual explanations of surgical plans (a vet using 3D models/screen to explain procedures and prosthetic parts). The clinic website also states 24/7 emergency care, with advice to call before travelling.

Village Vet St Johns Wood is part of the Village Vet group. The practice describes a team of two permanent vets, three registered veterinary nurses, and two receptionists, and notes a recent refurbishment that added three new consulting rooms plus separate cat and dog waiting areas. Based on the clinic’s stated facilities (on-site lab, digital x-ray, dental x-ray, operating theatre) and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and same-day urgent problems—one owner specifically mentions being fit in as an emergency close to closing time. Named vets in recent feedback include Dr. Kelly Moore, praised for being knowledgeable and reassuring.

Village Vet Highgate is part of the Village Vet group (a multi-site chain). Based on the clinic’s own information, it positions itself around both preventative care and treating illness, with a menu that includes nurse clinics and longer-term management (senior pet care, nutrition/obesity) as well as treatment options such as internal medicine, dental care, hydrotherapy and laser therapy. Out-of-hours and emergency cases are directed to the group’s Hampstead practice, which is described as open 24/7 for emergency pet care. From the latest reviews available, owners describe both urgent, fast-acting care (including a cat being “extremely ill” and treated quickly) and sharp disagreement about costs—one reviewer cites a high estimate for a dog dental clean and high prices for parasite preventatives compared with online purchasing.

Eliza Vet describes itself as an independent veterinary clinic. Based on its website and recent client accounts, it appears particularly set up for orthopaedic and complex surgical cases, alongside routine care, with rehabilitation (hydrotherapy/physio) available as part of recovery. Owners repeatedly describe detailed pre-op explanations (including one account of a surgeon using 3D models and a screen to show what would be done and which prosthetic components would be ordered), and frequent updates such as a post-op phone call the same morning after a spay. Several reviews also mention help beyond the consult room—e.g., handling insurer administration on request and being flexible about discharge/pick‑up timing when a pet needed to be more settled before going home.

Home Vets Central London is an independent in-home veterinary service established in 2013, focused on providing consultations at home for dogs and cats. The website emphasises “unrushed” appointment time and personalised care; recent reviews back this up with repeated mentions of pets staying calmer because they don’t need to travel. Owners also highlight clear booking/availability information and gentle handling to reduce stress during consultations. Named vets mentioned in reviews include Dr Jose and Dr Cesar, with one reviewer describing support over 3–4 years and quick responses to queries from Nuria.

The Highgate Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent, family-owned practice, with unhurried 30‑minute consultations and an online portal for registering and booking. For urgent situations, it states it provides in-clinic emergency help during opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover via a partner service (Veteris), including out-of-hours home services. Reviewers most often describe long-term relationships (e.g., “since our dog was a puppy”) and support through significant illness, but there are also complaints alleging a strong focus on money, including one detailed example about the quoted cost of a plastic cone.

Medivet St John’s Wood is part of the Medivet group rather than an independent practice. The clinic advertises 15‑minute consultations, an in‑house laboratory, and a broad set of diagnostic and surgical options (including ultrasound, ECG, endoscopy, and keyhole surgery), alongside routine care like vaccinations, parasite control, neutering and microchipping. It also offers animal health certificates for pet travel and home visits. From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: some owners describe clear communication, calm handling of anxious cats, and prompt help with travel documentation; others report poor/late follow-up on test results and advice they felt was incomplete. One reviewer also describes being refused an appointment after arriving 6 minutes late despite calling ahead.

Village Vet Hampstead is part of the Village Vet group and has been operating since the 1920s. The practice is set up for both routine care and more complex work, with a multi-floor facility that includes an operating theatre, hospital wards, a full laboratory, digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, and an intensive care unit. The website also states it is open 24/7 for emergency pet care and that it’s an accredited dog friendly clinic (Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association). In the latest written reviews available, owners most often describe urgent/emergency visits where they were seen quickly, felt un-rushed, and had clear explanations—alongside specific praise for staff help during stressful situations (including support with paperwork).

Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital is a veterinary nurse training facility, and multiple reviews describe appointments involving student vets with oversight from a senior vet. Based on the latest reviews, the clinic is often used for small mammals (rats, guinea pigs, chinchillas) including dental work and surgery, and some owners describe being kept closely informed about procedures and medication. A recurring counterpoint in recent feedback is frustration with billing and payment processes: several reviewers describe paying upfront (including at booking), delayed insurance paperwork, and disputed or unexpected charges. Concrete specifics mentioned in reviews include: a chinchilla treated for tooth problems with detailed pre-op history-taking and medication instructions; rat surgeries and check-ups; a senior vet doing a thorough dental examination and explaining options; and complaints about being asked to pay before the appointment and about slow handling of insurance documents.

Medivet Hampstead Village is part of the Medivet group and is set up for routine small-animal care for cats and dogs, with on-site diagnostics (in-house lab, X‑rays, ultrasound) and dedicated cat-friendly accreditation (ISFM Silver Standard Cat-Friendly Clinic Award). Appointments are listed as 15-minute consultations, and the clinic also offers nurse clinics and home visits. Recent reviews include praise for handling an anxious dog carefully and providing “thorough professional support,” alongside one strongly negative review about a vet named Emma based on the reviewer’s personal impression.
