## Summary Cheviot Vets is presented as a general small-animal practice based on what owners describe (cats and dogs are repeatedly mentioned). Reviews point to a calm, well-kept clinic environment (“clean and quiet” and not “an overcrowded waiting room”) and to continuity of service (“same friendly staff”). Owners also describe support around sensitive situations such as euthanasia, and some mention aftercare following treatment. Concrete details owners mention include: - Handling both routine and emergency appointments (as described by one reviewer). - Aftercare being provided after a cat’s treatment. - Medication collection being prepared on time. - A quieter, less crowded waiting-room experience for dogs. ## Services Based on the written reviews available: - Routine appointments for dogs. - Emergency appointments (mentioned by a reviewer as something the practice has dealt with for their pets). - End-of-life care/euthanasia for a dog, with staff support described. - Dispensing repeat/prescribed medication (owners mention collecting medication). - Cat and kitten care (including a kitten visit described as being “looked after” on the day). ## People No individual vets or nurses are named in the information provided. What reviewers consistently describe about the team: - Supportive communication and kindness during euthanasia for a dog, with owners specifically thanking staff for their help and support. - Practical reliability around prescriptions (medication ready when expected). - “Personal service” and aftercare following treatment for a cat. ## Reviews Google rating: 4.8 stars from 120 reviews.
