Clinic Overview

Animates Veterinary Clinic Ltd is a companion-animal practice established in 2005 and listed as RCVS-accredited, with recognition as a Cat Friendly Clinic and Rabbit Friendly Clinic. It’s also described as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews repeatedly mention a cat-focused setup: owners describe a separate dedicated cat clinic area designed to keep cats calm (soft décor, bird sounds, and new cat kennels shown during a visit). A Pet Health Club® Plus plan is referenced on the website (consultations included), and reviewers describe using a healthcare plan to spread costs for routine care like vaccinations and flea/worm treatment—though pricing and billing transparency are a point of tension in some feedback.

  • One reviewer describes paying £105 for a consultation that included one injection and a small bottle of Arthrocam, then receiving a further £58 bill for a urine sample test two days later (they said money wasn’t mentioned at the visit and advise asking for an estimate).
  • Another reviewer says the practice is “fairly expensive these days.”
  • Others describe a healthcare plan enabling monthly payments for vaccinations and parasite treatment and say it worked well for spreading costs (no £ amounts provided).
