Plympton Veterinary Centre

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.
