Gilmoor Vets is a multi-site veterinary practice (three branches are mentioned on its website). Based on owner reports, it appears set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, boosters and check-ups), planned surgery (spaying is described in detail), weight management support (regular weigh-ins and body condition scoring), and at least some out-of-hours appointments. Reviews strongly disagree on experience: many describe friendly, informative staff and good handling of nervous/anxious pets, while a small number report feeling rushed, facing high costs, or being unhappy with how a sick pet was assessed.

Dunelm Veterinary Group treats a wide range of pets, including cats, dogs, horses and small pets such as rabbits and hamsters, and states that emergency care is available. Recent reviews describe frequent, ongoing case management (including chronic disease), major procedures (a cat limb amputation for an aggressive cancer), and end-of-life care (euthanasia), with owners repeatedly mentioning that appointments didn’t feel rushed and that staff took time to explain options. A minority of feedback raises a safety concern about an incorrect weight being recorded and the pet then being given the wrong worming dose, with the owner reporting the follow-up response felt dismissive.

Our Score (79/100)
In recent reviews, owners most often describe a reception team that helps them feel settled on arrival, and clinical staff who explain options and costs clearly. Specific situations mentioned include a spay with pre-op reassurance from a nurse, an emergency appointment that was arranged quickly, and a dog assessed for a suspected infection where a scan was recommended and the possible complications were discussed. One review raises a concern that the business is “looking after” itself rather than sick pets, which conflicts with the many strongly positive experiences reported by other reviewers.
