Cogges Veterinary Surgery

Cogges Veterinary Surgery is an RCVS-accredited practice established in 1993. It also operates a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews repeatedly describe practical, decision-relevant behaviours: offering urgent appointments when owners are worried (for example, a cat with FeLV who had stopped eating), talking through options without pushing “expensive” products or procedures, and keeping owners informed about costs and choices.
