Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - Calm, low-stress handling during appointments: puppy check described as settled and drama-free; another owner says their reactive dog was given time to acclimatise before examination and injections. - End-of-life support: one reviewer describes being gently guided through euthanasia for a cat, not being rushed, and receiving memorabilia. - Cost/value is mixed: one review calls the practice “a little bit pricey,” while another says they were advised on ways to save money on treatment. - A serious negative account alleges poor communication about being removed/refused an appointment during an illness and upsetting aftercare handling for a deceased large dog; this conflicts with other reviews describing compassionate, respectful end-of-life care.

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.

Corner Veterinary Centre is a small veterinary practice that, based on the reviews available to us, is most often used for everyday consultations and urgent “something’s wrong” visits rather than specialist referral work.

A recurring point in the feedback is that people felt listened to and supported when they were worried about their pet, and one owner explicitly described the fees as “very reasonable.”
