Clinic Overview

Hampton Veterinary Centre offers routine care (health checks, vaccinations, neutering and dental checks) and also sees a wide range of species beyond cats and dogs (including rabbits, small mammals, reptiles, birds and chickens). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews include specific examples of problem-solving and follow-through—such as diagnostic scanning for a painful broken tooth and prompt dental treatment—alongside comments about support during serious illness and end-of-life decisions, including coordination with an out-of-hours emergency partner. A small number of owners report the opposite experience (a rushed consult, feeling pushed toward surgery, and fees/charging communication they found unclear).

Services

From the website summary and reviews, the clinic is described as providing

  • Health checks
  • Vaccinations/boosters
  • Neutering
  • Dental checks (and at least one case involving a tooth problem managed after a scan)
  • Microchipping (mentioned in a long-term client review)
  • Flea and worm treatments (including provision via a plan and via prescriptions)
  • Emergency care arrangements: the site mentions needing an emergency vet, and one review describes support involving an out-of-hours emergency partner
  • Care for multiple species: cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, lizards, snakes, reptiles, birds and chickens

Facility/pet comfort details mentioned by a reviewer

  • A separate cat waiting area, with a raised shelf for carriers
  • Blankets to cover carriers and Feliway spray available in reception (as described by a client)

Pricing

Only pricing details explicitly mentioned in reviews

  • One reviewer objected to a 45% mark-up on prescription items (their claim).
  • One reviewer estimated £380/year for flea and worming for two cats through the practice, compared with £263.60 for the same medication online (their comparison).
  • One reviewer reported not being told a consult fee during the visit and only receiving an invoice after cancelling a proposed procedure; another said another practice’s consultation fee was “significantly better priced” (no figure given).

People

Named staff mentioned in the latest reviews

  • Dawn (reception): repeatedly credited for practical help under pressure—e.g., being “wonderful and kind” on the phone and finding an appointment when an owner called in a panic.
  • Sophie (vet nurse): mentioned for handling a very excitable/vocal dog calmly during boosters and for explaining things in detail to ease an owner’s anxiety.
  • Dr. Jessica Power: specifically thanked for a cat’s recovery; described as attentive and kind, with the owner attributing the outcome to her care.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.6 stars from 371 reviews. “”

  • Diagnostics and action on pain sources: one owner said their dog’s broken tooth issue had been missed elsewhere, but here the team performed a scan and treated the tooth straight away.
  • Clear explanations and reassurance: several reviews describe staff taking time to explain in detail and helping owners feel calmer after the appointment.
  • Handling nervous or difficult-to-handle pets: owners mention staff accommodating timid rescues over years and managing excitable dogs during routine visits.
  • Serious illness and end-of-life support: a long-term client described compassionate guidance during a very difficult decision, including involvement of an out-of-hours emergency partner.
  • Cost/fee concerns and waiting times: one reviewer objected to prescription pricing and estimated annual parasite treatment costs; another reported feeling pressured into surgery and later receiving an invoice only after cancelling, while a different reviewer noted waiting times for booked appointments.
