Plymouth Veterinary Hospital – Vets in Plymouth
Clinic Overview
Plymouth Veterinary Hospital is part of Plymouth Veterinary Group and is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Based on the information available, the clinic sees a mix of routine and more sensitive cases: recent reviews repeatedly mention end-of-life support (including making a dog’s goodbye “peaceful” and treating a rat “with dignity”) and structured puppy training/classes run by a named staff member (Jo), with ongoing support via a WhatsApp group and follow-up materials. Review signals are mostly positive about how staff interact with both pets and owners, though there’s at least one review raising concern about high charges, while another calls prices “reasonable.”
Services
- •Puppy classes / puppy academy (multiple owners report attending sessions led by Jo; mentioned support includes advice between sessions, WhatsApp group, and emailed leaflets).
- •End-of-life care (owners describe support during euthanasia and “last moments” for pets).
- •Care for small/exotic pets and birds (reviews specifically mention treatment for a rat and ongoing vet care for African grey parrots over several years).
- •Pet Health Club® Plus plan (website text states consultations are included as part of this plan; no price or full inclusions provided).
- •Veterinary Nurse Training facility (listed in the clinic’s structured data).
People
- •Jo (puppy training): mentioned by name in several reviews. Owners describe learning practical skills and receiving ongoing support (availability for advice, WhatsApp group for puppy owners, and emailed leaflets).
- •Vets, nurses, and reception staff (not named): one recent review describing a dog’s euthanasia says every staff group they interacted with (vets/reception/nurses) was kind and helped make the experience peaceful.

I cannot express enough how kind and caring every person who works here is. From the vets themselves, reception staff and nurses. Every person we had contact with was incredibly kind. Unfortunately for us it was time to say goodbye. At what was an awful time for us, was made peaceful for our pup. Thank you for all your work, and support.

Treated our rat with dignity in her last moments. Also gave us a generous discount on the price because we are students. Thank you so much.

I have gone to this vets for many years and have always found them very helpful and kind. My only thoughts, which is to all vets, is the charges. Considering the claim is the animal comes first due to the prices many people, including myself, cannot afford to get another animal when I lose my precious Ruby, not because of feeding, grooming etc but because of the extortionate prices vets charge. Animals that could be finding loving homes are at risk of being put to sleep. What a shame. Please vets reconsider your prices. Other than that they are by far the best vets in Plymouth

Attended two puppy classes with Jo and they were both amazing. Jo really does know her stuff when it comes to puppies and myself and my family have learned lots. I would say to anybody getting a puppy to attend these classes because not only will it help your dog but it will also help you. Thank you Jo for helping not only bluebell but us too. We really enjoyed the learning and the WhatsApp group has also been a great addition to our puppy owning journey Bluebell sends kisses xx

No veterinary surgery is cheap, but the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend the surgery because I’ve been taking my African grey parrots to them for five years and they are always very thorough, Kind, Warm, Caring and they don’t rush and you can tell they care. Great level of service, so it’s a win-win all Round. I travel all way from Exeter down to Derriford to use them since I moved away from Plymouth But I’m staying with them most of the level of care service is consistent and great. Highly recommended

We've just completed our puppy training with Jo and it's been a fantastic experience. She's been incredibly supportive, always available to offer advice and help us navigate any challenges with our little bundle of joy. The WhatsApp group has been a great addition — it's been lovely connecting with other puppy owners, sharing tips and tricks, and discovering new ways to keep our pups entertained, from toys to scent mats and more. Thank you so much for all the helpful information and the email leaflets — they've been great. Our little boy says a big thank you too! 💙 xx
