Ocean City Vets – Vets in Plymouth
Clinic Overview
Ocean City Vets is a small-practice clinic (group ownership not stated in the available data) that owners describe as deliberately calm and “not feeling like a vets” on arrival—something several people say helps with anxious or easily overstimulated pets. Reviews point to a practice comfortable handling both planned procedures and difficult visits, including end-of-life care where owners say they didn’t feel rushed and received flowers and a message from the team afterwards. Clinical work specifically mentioned includes dental extractions in an older dog, and a BOAS assessment leading to nares-widening (rhinoplasty) surgery with same-day updates and follow-up check-ups. Several reviewers also mention joining a “pet plan” and ongoing support for chronic illness management.

A truly friendly and peaceful environment for your beloved pet. The staff are highly professional, welcoming, and genuinely caring. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Hands down the best vets we've ever used. The practice is set up perfectly! It has a relaxing vibe which is great with anxious or easily overstimulated pets (or people)! All of the staff are so lovely! I can’t thank Sinead and Mel enough for the care they gave my beagle boy when he fell ill on a Saturday. They went above and beyond to look after him! I'm always one who relies on the comfort of what's familiar, but have zero regrets about changing to Ocean City!

We had to take our dog Bundy who was almost 18 to Ocean City Vets whereby he had to be put to sleep. We would like to say how welcoming the staff were and the compassion from the vets. On entering it did not feel like a vets, open comfortable welcoming. The vets helped so much and shown so much care, and at no time did we feel it was a rush. A few days after we received some flowers with a lovely message from the staff. We would definitely recommend Ocean City Vets to anyone who wishes compassionate and caring staff. Thank you all for making our sad ordeal a bit more bearable. Again thank you from nan & dave

This is without doubt an excellent vet practice. Our 14 year old dog has just had a lot of teeth removed, we were a bit worried about this procedure but I needn’t have worried. Through expert treatment and superb advice to get our old girl through the recovery process I can only give Ocean city vets the highest praise. They are a young and vibrant practice and I wish them every success in the future

We can't speak highly enough of Ocean city vets since we decided to sign up for the pet plan. The proactive approach and dedication to our Cavachon dog along with the attention to managing her chronic illness has been very reassuring. The professionalism of the team is exemplary.

We recently took our 4 year old French bulldog for a BOAS assessment due to people saying his nostrils were very close together. Sinead was beyond helpful and gave us some options of surgery’s we could go through with and how to navigate going through insurance too. We decided to have his nares widened (rhinoplasty) surgery and I can’t thank the whole team enough! I was a complete ball of nerves when my baby went in the morning of his surgery and they were probably fed up with my constant questions and phone calls! But I can’t fault the customer service I received and the constant updates and reassurance I needed! After he came around from the surgery he didn’t want to be in the kennels so the team made him feel comfortable letting him spend the day with them on a waist lead! Since the operation we have had 2 checkups where they have reassured us he is healing well. Ocean city vets have been an absolute dream! I can’t thank you all enough and a special thankyou to Sinead for all her expertise and carrying out the surgery so well 🥰

I can't express how grateful I am to have had my dog Poppy registered with Ocean City Vets when our time came to say goodbye on Monday. I had the locum vet (Emma I think) who was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt totally supported. A very difficult visit was made as caring and peaceful as it could possibly be. Thank you xx

The best vets I’ve ever used, highly recommend! (And we’ve been to quite a few being military) The most welcoming, kind staff and so helpful with emergency appointments made very quickly. Felt fully supported and made the whole process a lot easier, when my fur baby’s time came to an end. In such a sad time of our lives we can’t thank you all enough. Rach, Nick and Harris x
