Best Vets in Harrow – Complete Local Guide

Medivet Pinner is part of the Medivet group and offers routine consults plus on-site diagnostics (in-house lab and X-rays). The practice is led by Reena Patel (Partner and Veterinary Surgeon). Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for everyday medical and preventative care (vaccinations, parasite care, microchipping), common procedures like neutering, and investigations that may need imaging or lab work; owners also describe support during end-of-life visits and help with anxious or difficult-to-handle pets. Review experiences are mostly very positive, but there is at least one recent complaint about unclear answers around spaying and medication prices.

Medivet South Harrow is part of the Medivet group and lists partner and Veterinary Surgeon Nicola Wong as the lead on its website, though one recent reviewer says Nicola (and vet Krisha) have left, and felt the standard with newer vets “is not the same.” The clinic appears set up for routine care and common procedures, with 15‑minute consultations, in‑house lab work and X‑rays, and services spanning dentistry, neutering and preventative care. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear aftercare information, smooth same‑day procedures (including a dog neuter plus an eye operation), and dental cleaning under general anaesthesia for older cats.

Blythwood Vets is an RCVS-accredited practice (Practice Standards Scheme) with “over 40 years” stated experience, and the website also notes Silver-level Cat Friendly Clinic status (ISFM) and Investors in People accreditation. It offers routine care plus nurse clinics and a health-plan option (“Pet Health for Life Plans”), and advertises emergency services “across multiple locations.” In the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly describe quick help for urgent problems (including suspected toxin ingestion treated immediately with medication to induce vomiting), ease of getting appointments, and supportive handling of nervous pets; one long-term client praises consistent service over 28 years but criticises being told to call back at 8am for an appointment.

Medivet North Harrow is part of the Medivet group (a national chain with 24-hour centres). The practice is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the practice page, Medivet offers around-the-clock emergency care via one of its 24-hour centres (not necessarily at this branch). Recent reviews describe a generally smooth, well-explained first-visit experience (for example, a vet being “informative & patient” with a cat, and staff helping keep a dog calm during a consultation). One reviewer, however, reports a pricing/discount dispute (a new-customer discount allegedly not honoured) and describes pressure to buy medications and proceed with vaccinations, while still noting the receptionist was helpful and not pushy. A long-standing client also mentions nearly 10 years of gentle care from “Mr Patel,” who is described as retiring.

Goddard Veterinary Group Eastcote is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (a multi-site veterinary group) and is RCVS-accredited. Based on the clinic’s stated facilities and what owners describe, it’s set up for routine care plus in-house diagnostics and surgery (on-site blood testing, X‑rays, and surgical procedures). The practice also acts as a veterinary nurse training facility. Owners frequently mention vet Leonard by name, including examples such as taking time in appointments (one review describes a vet spending around an hour with two cats) and handling nervous pets gently. Reviews also show mixed experiences with service consistency: one long-term client reports incorrect records and unhelpful reception handling, and another describes being directed straight to the 24/7 emergency hospital rather than receiving an on-the-spot assessment for an acute injury.

Joel Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice established in 1996 and appears to be part of the CVS group (the clinic website and email domain are on `cvsvets.com`). It treats dogs, cats, and small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, and it offers both routine care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping) and more involved work (diagnostic imaging, surgery, and an orthopaedic surgery referral service). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: some owners describe notably compassionate end‑of‑life support (including euthanasia carried out in a car at the owner’s request, plus keepsakes like paw prints and a follow‑up handwritten card), while multiple others describe problems with front‑desk/admin processes (being turned away close to closing after being told to come in urgently, price misquoting, and a disputed debt/charges issue).
