Best Vets in Havering – Complete Local Guide

The Wylie Veterinary Centre Ltd is an RCVS Accredited Veterinary Hospital that offers 24/7 emergency care and inpatient hospital support. Recent reviews repeatedly describe urgent problems being handled quickly, including an emergency appointment arranged for the next morning for a non-registered client, and owners being updated by phone after procedures (including a personal call late on a Sunday night to explain how surgery went). Several accounts describe multi-day hospital stays (for example, a week of hospitalisation and three nights in critical care) where pets recovered from serious illness. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - Emergency access for non-registered clients, including booking an appointment despite not being registered. - Hospitalisation/critical care for severe cases (pneumonia, pancreatitis). - Emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage (a peach stone), with follow-up communication. - Supportive front-desk help during stressful visits, including staff staying with an anxious owner and monitoring a puppy while other emergencies were ongoing.

Ace Vets Cranham’s ownership/group isn’t stated in the information available. The practice is repeatedly described as handling complex and surgical cases, including orthopaedic work (TPLO) and other operations, alongside thorough investigations for ongoing medical problems (e.g., chronic cough, chronic ear disease). Decision-relevant specifics owners mention: - Orthopaedic surgery is explicitly referenced (TPLO for a dog), with clear pre-op explanations and good early recovery reported. - Diagnostic work-ups are described as thorough (tests and X‑rays), including one review describing a same-day identification of a problem after other vets couldn’t find the cause for months. - Communication is a recurring theme: owners mention step-by-step explanations of options/outcomes and being kept informed; one owner says they were shown a video of the procedure afterward. - Continuity of care is highlighted in one review: “always see the same vet,” contrasted with “rotating agency staff” at some chain practices. Out-of-hours emergencies: the website says that outside regular hours, clients should contact Vets4Pets Romford.

Ivy Lodge Veterinary Clinic is an independent practice established in 1984. The website highlights surgery & diagnostics, orthopaedics, hospitalisation, nurse clinics, and dog C-sections, alongside bereavement/euthanasia support and health certificates. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly describe being fitted in at short notice (including around a surgery-heavy day) and getting extra time/support for anxious dogs—one review describes staff ensuring no other animals were in the clinic to reduce a dog’s stress. Specific treatments mentioned include emergency assessment and pain relief for a cat with torn/snapped claws (possible broken toe) and a dog spay; one owner also says they joined the clinic’s pet plan after a phone conversation they found “honest.”
