Grange Vets treats dogs, cats, rabbits and other small pets, and is an Approved Veterinary Nurse Training Centre (as stated on its website). For emergencies outside normal hours, the practice says care is provided by Wear Referrals.
From the latest reviews, owners most often describe a clinic that takes time with nervous dogs (one owner says a dog that previously needed sedation elsewhere did not need it here) and where vets set clear treatment plans that can work quickly (one report of improvement “in days”). A minority of recent reviews report a very different experience, including conflicting diagnoses and being advised an MRI when the owner wanted an X‑ray, plus complaints about a particular staff member’s manner.
Services
- •Care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets (website).
- •Emergency out-of-hours arrangements via Wear Referrals (website).
- •Handling of anxious/nervous dogs with time and patience is specifically mentioned (reviews), including one case where sedation was avoided.
- •Diagnostics and treatment planning are referenced in reviews (e.g., discussion of MRI vs X‑ray in a back/“slipped disc” concern), but no specific in-house imaging capabilities are stated.
People
- •Ed (vet) — described as “exceptional” by an owner who otherwise reports consistently good service; the same reviewer also reports a later visit with an “older woman” who was “miserable and struggled to crack a smile,” suggesting inconsistency in front-of-house/consult style depending on who you see.
- •Peter (vet) — described as greeting clients warmly, being gentle with the dog, and setting a treatment plan that worked within days.
Reviews
4.7 stars from 311 reviews. - Dogs that are uneasy about vet visits being handled patiently, with time taken to keep them calm (including a case where sedation wasn’t needed when it had been elsewhere).
- •Specific vets being singled out for communication and approach (e.g., Ed and Peter).
- •Reports of inconsistent experience: some describe excellent care, while one recent 1‑star review alleges two different diagnoses, pressure toward an MRI, and concerns about cost and compassion.
- •Practical note from one reviewer: parking access can be tricky due to the car-park entrance approach.

My dog loves the veterinary staff here. Whilst she doesn't very much like going to the vets, she very quickly gets excited to go on the scales, and she of course, has a favourite veterinary doggy doctor. I also love that I recommended this place to a friend who's dog had to be sedated every time he went, and when they realised that the staff here would take their time and didn't sedated him, because yes, they are that level of caring, they almost cried telling me how amazing they are.

This place isn’t the closest vets to us but we always travel here as it’s the best service. All the vets are great but today we saw Ed who was exceptional. EDIT: changing to 4 stars as this time we were seen by an older woman who was absolutely miserable and struggled to crack a smile. Not very welcoming! Such a shame as apart from this the practice is great.

Took 1 of my dogs to Grange Vets last week. Met Peter, the vet, who said 'good morning' and shook my hand. He was brilliant and gentle with our dog and he set a treatment for her that worked in days. Great vet and would definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic staff. Prices are decent too. Parking could be difficult if you're not confident driver (or have a lowered vehicle) as the entrance to the car park is a sharp steep left turn in off the main dual carriageway, however it is close enough to multiple public car parks within walking distance as well.
