Medivet Peterborough Bretton

Medivet Peterborough Bretton is part of the Medivet veterinary group and is set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, microchipping, health-plan style ongoing care) as well as end-of-life support, with access to Medivet’s 24-hour emergency care (fee stated on the Medivet site). In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention easy appointment booking and practical touches aimed at reducing stress (separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, plus blankets to cover cat carriers). Experiences are not fully consistent: several reviews describe friendly, professional handling, while one recent review complains about a vet being “scared” of a large dog and giving a booster without a welfare check or weighing.
