Firth Veterinary Centre

Firth Veterinary Centre describes itself as providing a complete veterinary service for both farm animals and domestic pets, with 24-hour emergency cover available. Reviews most often talk about routine care (annual check-ups and boosters) as well as more serious support, including emergency treatment for a very sick dog and end-of-life care for cats. Owners also mention follow-through on day-to-day problems (one cat treated for a skin rash with antibiotics) and specific injury care (a cat with a tail injury after it was trapped in a door).

Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided, though one reviewer explicitly said they were trying to avoid “large conglomerates” and chose Firth based on recommendations.

Reviews

4.8 stars from 178 reviews. The - Friendly, reassuring handling of both routine and urgent cases, including emergency care for a very sick dog and routine boosters/check-ups.

• •Owners describe pets being comfortable returning, with multiple reviewers saying their dog “loves going to the vets.”
• •End-of-life support is specifically praised (kindness and thoughtfulness during euthanasia for a cat with kidney failure).
• •One serious negative account conflicts with the overall trend: a reviewer reports they were told their dog couldn’t be saved and euthanasia was the only option, but they say a second opinion elsewhere found the dog “absolutely fine.”
