Clinic Overview

Small Creatures Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice where owners most often mention routine procedures and pet-care services rather than complex referral work. In the latest reviews available to us, people describe dogs being booked in for grooming and for neutering, with clear pre‑op and post‑op instructions and follow-up care (including a stitch-removal visit about 9 days after surgery). Several reviews also point to a vet taking time during appointments and offering breed-specific guidance.

Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include

  • Dog grooming appointments where owners felt their pets were handled carefully.
  • Neutering with clear instructions before and after the procedure, plus strong aftercare and a stitch-removal visit.
  • Advice tailored to a dog’s breed and owners receiving “helpful information.”
  • A named vet (“Jilly”) being noted for giving dogs “the time they need.”
