Longton Vets for Pets

Longton Vets for Pets is a locally owned Vets4Pets clinic in Stoke-on-Trent. It offers a broad mix of care, including same-day sick appointments, routine appointments, procedures such as spaying, and treatment for small pets. Recent feedback is mostly positive about caring staff and quick access, though a smaller number of reviews raise concerns about handling, emergency communication, and fluctuating medication prices.

Services

• •Routine and preventative care: preventative plans are mentioned by the clinic, and reviews also reference routine vaccination, ongoing medication, and repeat visits for pets needing regular support.
• •Urgent appointments for unwell pets: owners report same-day help for sick animals, including one dog that was registered and seen within an hour.
• •Procedures and diagnostic care: reviews mention spaying, pre-procedure checks, sedation and anaesthetic preparation, and day-long monitoring and testing after a severe seizure following transfer from an emergency vet.
• •Small pet care: the clinic has also been praised for treating a hamster with a prolapsed cheek within 15 minutes and giving practical aftercare advice.
• •General handling and nursing support: reviews mention nail trimming, support for nervous dogs during examinations, and kind nursing support for upset owners.

Pricing

A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average, but this is based on very few comparable services. One owner said they were initially told to expect £600–£700 for monitoring and tests after seizures, but the final bill came to £148 when some tests were judged unnecessary. Reviews are mixed on cost: some describe the clinic as costly, and one recurring complaint is that prescription medication prices can change from month to month without warning.

• •Amy is thanked for being really helpful during a same-day visit for a poorly dog.
• •Jane is thanked for a pet’s care during an ongoing run of visits.

Reviews

Google reviews average 4.1/5 from 488 reviews.

• •Recent feedback is largely positive about caring, knowledgeable vets and a friendly team, with particular praise for support during difficult cases and for pets needing regular visits.
• •Speed and efficiency come up repeatedly, including same-day access for a sick dog, prompt treatment for a hamster emergency, and generally efficient appointments.
• •Cost is a recurring theme: some owners feel the clinic can be expensive, and medication pricing is the most consistent complaint in otherwise positive reviews.
• •A smaller number of negative reviews raise more serious concerns about handling and consent, nail-trim injuries, emergency sharing of records, privacy in the in-store setting, and a cancelled spay after pre-op preparation.
