Woodside Vet Group

Woodside Vet Group is an RCVS-accredited practice offering small animal, equine, and farm services, with a stated 24-hour emergency service. Reviews available to us are almost entirely positive and mention practical, pet-specific handling—particularly with nervous or “grumpy” cats—plus treatment for ongoing conditions like allergies and heart disease. Concrete examples include separate dog and cat waiting areas, use of Apoquel for a dog’s summer allergy, and an at-home euthanasia described as painless and handled kindly.
