Farm & Large-Animal Vets near Peterborough

## Summary Pengelly & Mizen Veterinary Surgeons describes itself as a **mixed practice** offering a “complete healthcare service,” and it also advertises **consultations included as part of a Pet Health Club® Plus plan** (exact plan terms beyond this aren’t stated in the available site summary). Provided clinic data also lists it as a **veterinary nurse training facility** and as offering **emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours)**. Recent reviews most often describe a **friendly, welcoming front-of-house experience**, with specific examples including **same-day appointments** and careful handling of **anxious pets** around procedures. One recent review, however, reports a serious concern about being **scared by a heart murmur diagnosis** and being quoted **over £2,000** for treatment including dental extraction—then getting a different assessment elsewhere—so owners may want to ask questions and clarify the basis for diagnoses and estimates. ## Services Evidence from the provided data and latest reviews mentions: - **Emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours)** (listed in clinic data; no further detail provided on how this operates). - **Veterinary nurse training facility** (listed in clinic data). - **Consultations included with a Pet Health Club® Plus plan** (website snippet; inclusions beyond consultations aren’t specified). - **Dental care** mentioned in multiple contexts: - **Teeth cleaning under anaesthetic** (review describes a dog’s dental procedure). - **Dental extractions / “rotten teeth”** (reported in a negative review as part of a proposed treatment plan). - **Dental surgery** is mentioned (cat) but the procedure described as successful took place at a different practice, not here. - **Sedation prior to anaesthetic** for a nervous dog, with the owner allowed to bring the dog’s bed and stay nearby during settling (review detail). ## Pricing - One reviewer states they were told treatment would cost **“over £2,000”**, alongside **extraction of some rotten teeth** (reported as an estimate they received here; this is a single account and disputed by that reviewer after a second opinion elsewhere). ## People - **Theo** (vet; role implied by the reviewer): described as doing a consultation for a nervous dog and following through on a plan to reduce stress—**sedating the dog calmly in the dog’s own bed before anaesthetic**, and returning the dog to the owner within about an hour to wake up quietly. - **Sylvia** (role not stated): described by a long-term client as doing “most of the caring” for their dogs over many years. - **Remco** (role not stated): mentioned by name as “always lovely” by a long-term client. ## Reviews **4.6 stars from 481 reviews.** “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - **Warm, welcoming service** is repeatedly mentioned (“friendly,” “chatty,” “welcoming”), including by people attending recently. - **Access and responsiveness:** one reviewer specifically reports getting a **same-day appointment**. - **Handling anxious pets around procedures:** a detailed account describes careful planning around a dog’s separation anxiety, including **sedation before anaesthetic** and an owner-focused approach to reduce stress. - **A notable negative outlier raises concerns about diagnosis and cost:** one reviewer reports being told their cat had a **heart murmur** and being quoted **over £2,000**, then receiving a different assessment at another practice; this conflicts with the many positive accounts and is the clearest point of disagreement in the available reviews.
