Emergency Vets in Plymouth

## Summary Plympton Veterinary Centre is part of the **Plymouth Veterinary Group** (as stated on the clinic website). Reviews suggest the practice handles a mix of routine care and urgent situations, with owners describing support in difficult circumstances (for example, a cat brought in after a road accident, with the team saving paw prints for the owner). Practical, clinic-specific details mentioned include a **separate cat waiting area** (noted as helpful for nervous cats), **microchip scanning** for a found dog (with a call-back once the owner was located), and a **monthly Pet Health Club-style plan** that some owners use for included check-ups and injections—though one review describes problems accessing monthly treatments. ## Services Services and situations mentioned in the available information include: - **Emergency/urgent care** (listed in the clinic data as emergency veterinary services; reviews also describe the clinic dealing with a cat brought in after being hit by a car). - **Vaccinations** (a “Nobivac booster” is specifically mentioned in a review). - **Parasite treatment** (flea treatment discussed; one owner mentions tablets being dispensed instead of requested pipettes). - **Ear treatment/medication** (ear drops prescribed/dispensed are mentioned). - **Microchip scanning for lost/found pets** (a found dog was taken in to be scanned, and the clinic followed up to confirm the dog was reunited with its owner). - **Pet Health Club / monthly plan** (the website summary references Pet Health Club® Plus with consultations included; one owner describes monthly cost covering check-ups and injections, while another reports difficulty collecting monthly treatment and cancelled their membership). ## Pricing Explicit prices mentioned in recent reviews: - **£75** for a **5-minute consultation** (owner-reported). - **£101** for **ear drops** (owner-reported), with the same reviewer stating they found the medication **online for £18**. - **£96** for a **Nobivac booster** appointment (owner-reported), with the reviewer also stating it involved “no examination, just a quick injection”. ## People No individual clinicians are named in the information provided. What owners do describe about the team: - **Empathy and follow-up communication during bereavement**, including a phone call to explain a pet had been brought in and **paw prints saved** for the owner. - **Helpfulness with non-routine situations**, such as scanning a found dog and **phoning back** to confirm it had been reunited with its owner. - **Explanations during appointments**, with some owners saying the team explains what’s involved and answers questions. ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.6 stars from 156 reviews.** **“Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.”** - **Compassion in difficult situations**: owners describe empathetic calls and thoughtful gestures (for example, saving paw prints after a pet died). - **Practical support and communication**: scanning a found dog and calling back with the outcome; some owners say staff explain procedures and answer questions. - **Facilities that reduce stress for cats**: one owner specifically mentions a **separate cat waiting area** helping a nervous cat. - **Cost concerns and perceived poor value**: multiple reviewers cite short appointments with high fees (examples given include **£75** for a brief consult and **£96** for a booster). - **Medication/treatment issues**: one owner reports repeated dispensing of flea **tablets instead of pipettes** despite notes; another reports being unable to collect monthly treatment when the clinic was “only ok for emergencies,” and cancelled their monthly plan.
