MBM Veterinary Group is a long-established practice (website states providing care since 1913) that treats small animals, horses, and farm animals, and works with Thistle Referral Services (named on the website). The clinic is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (as provided in the clinic’s structured data). In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe calm handling during routine visits (including puppy checks and injections) and supportive end-of-life care that wasn’t rushed (including being walked through the process and receiving memorabilia). Pricing is mentioned as “a little bit pricey” by one reviewer, while another says the team has advised ways to reduce treatment costs—so experiences on cost/value vary.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: - being kept informed “every step” during treatment and feeling un-rushed during consults - follow-up contact after an appointment (a vet phoning the next day to check how a dog was doing) - support around difficult visits, including a pet being put to sleep, where staff were described as kind and respectful - specific procedures discussed positively, including a laparoscopic spay with a reported rapid recovery

Armour Veterinary Group treats multiple species (pets, farm animals and horses) and, according to its website, runs its own out-of-hours service so animals are seen by their “own vet” day and night. Reviews mention routine preventive care (a dog booster visit) and dental surgery for dogs (including an extraction of 8 teeth). The latest reviews are largely positive about staff interactions and wait times, but there is also a detailed 1‑star account alleging a medication dosing error for a pregnant dog and a lack of apology when it was raised.
