Updated January 2026

Clinic Overview

Westway Veterinary Group is listed on the Value Vets website (value-vets.co.uk) and is noted as a veterinary nurse training facility.

Multiple reviewers also point to staff taking time to answer questions and handling pets gently enough that some animals “love coming” and appear relaxed at appointments.
