Best Vets in Leicester – Complete Local Guide

The Park Veterinary Group is an RCVS Accredited Practice and a Cat Friendly Clinic (gold or silver stated on the website). The practice also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews most often describe cat-focused touches (a separate quiet area for cats) and supportive handling of difficult visits, including euthanasia discussions and bereavement. Owners repeatedly mention being seen promptly (including same-day) for urgent concerns, clear explanations of options, and staff accommodating a “least invasive first” approach when discussing treatment.

Medivet Thurmaston is part of the Medivet group and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the website and recent reviews, it appears set up to handle urgent cases and complex investigations as well as routine appointments—owners mention same-day appointments, hospitalisation, and surgery being arranged quickly when needed. Several reviews highlight clear, step-by-step explanations of diagnoses and treatment plans (including time for questions), plus regular updates during hospital stays and end-of-life support where owners were given time and weren’t pushed into decisions.

Vets for Pets Leicester Beaumont Leys is part of the Vets for Pets group and is jointly owned by Sameer Bheda and Shabbir Shariff. The practice appears set up for both routine care and more involved in-house work: it has an operating theatre, hospital ward, in-house lab, digital and dental X-ray, ultrasound, and an oxygen chamber, plus separate cat/dog waiting areas and wards (including isolation). Recent reviews repeatedly mention staff taking time with nervous pets (cats and puppies) and owners valuing ongoing communication—one reviewer specifically mentions a WhatsApp group for updates and reassurance, and another describes careful aftercare following neutering.

Medivet Oadby is part of the Medivet group and offers routine appointments (15-minute consultations) plus on-site diagnostics including an in-house laboratory and X‑rays. The practice also lists nurse clinics, home visits, dentistry, neutering, microchipping, parasite care, vaccinations, and animal health certificates for pet travel, and it is a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe vets taking a gentle, thorough approach and explaining options (for example, after a cat bite, an owner said they were given workable choices that helped them keep their cat at home). Multiple reviewers also mention appointments not feeling rushed and pets being helped to settle (staff checking health records, giving “fuss and attention,” and answering questions). Pricing feedback is mixed: several owners call fees “reasonable” (including mention of a free first consultation offer), while one recent reviewer describes the practice as “expensive” and “a hassle to deal with.”

The Park Veterinary Group is an RCVS-accredited practice that says it has been operating for over 100 years and runs multiple branches. It offers out-of-hours emergency treatment (via the practice number) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews include multiple accounts of urgent and end-of-life care (including out-of-hours), with specific examples such as staff making pawprints/clipping fur for a child and sending a handwritten sympathy card after a pet death. One recent review, however, alleges inconsistent pricing quotes and serious dissatisfaction with care during a complicated birth and subsequent neonatal puppy illness, describing rapidly changing costs and feeling that consultations were not properly carried out.
