Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Abivale Veterinary Group offers routine consultations (including via a Pet Health Club® Plus plan) and states it provides 24‑hour emergency care. It is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews most often describe a professional, reassuring experience, with specific mentions of being good with cats, a vet who took time to listen during consultations, and at least one appointment with an “exotics” vet for a hedgehog where the owner felt well-informed and not pressured into major decisions. One practical downside raised is that the waiting room can feel too small and stressful when busy. The practice also states it accepts payments via Klarna.
