Services

• •Routine care and vaccinations: The practice handles everyday appointments including vaccinations and general check-ups. Owners describe calm, practical consultations and a welcoming approach for regular visits.
• •Emergency and follow-up care: Out-of-hours emergencies are covered through Medivet’s 24-hour centres, with owners also describing returning to Adlington for follow-on care after urgent treatment elsewhere in the Medivet network.
• •Dental treatment and general procedures: Recent feedback specifically praises the care given during an older dog’s dental treatment, with owners saying the team were reassuring throughout.
• •Support for anxious or nervous dogs: Multiple reviews mention patient, compassionate handling for nervous pets, and several owners say their dogs are unusually relaxed or even happy to visit.
• •Illness assessment and general consultations: Examples mentioned by owners include help with an unwell dog, careful checking during consultations, and support while working through an urgent case involving a dog that had eaten a sock.

Pricing

A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average, but this is based on very few comparable services. The clearest published figure available is an out-of-hours emergency consultation fee of £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am under Medivet’s emergency arrangement. Review comments on cost are mixed: some owners mention value from the healthcare plan, while a small number felt consultation, treatment, or cancellation costs were higher than expected.
