Baguley Veterinary Centre

Baguley Veterinary Centre operates under the Buchananvets brand, described on the website as an independent vet. Based on available information, it appears set up for routine pet healthcare (vaccinations and illness appointments are mentioned) as well as urgent cases (one review describes an emergency visit for a cat hit by a vehicle where staff “went to aid him straight away”). Reviews also show mixed experiences around end-of-life decision-making: one reviewer alleges euthanasia was refused twice and that an operation was suggested that they felt was unnecessary, while other reviewers describe fast, supportive handling in emergencies and friendly, helpful staff.

Services

•Emergency veterinary care is listed in the clinic data (24/7 or extended-hours emergency services).
•Vaccinations for cats and dogs (mentioned in reviews).
•Treatment of general “ailments”/illness appointments (mentioned in reviews).
•Urgent trauma care: emergency assessment and attempts to stabilise/treat a cat after a road traffic accident (mentioned in reviews).
•End-of-life care discussions, including euthanasia (raised in a negative review; the reviewer states euthanasia was initially refused).
•Surgery is referenced indirectly via a complaint about being offered an operation to “empty” a cat’s bowels (as described by a reviewer).

People

•Reception/admin: one reviewer specifically mentions a “friendly secretary.”
•Vets/doctors: described as “helpful” by one reviewer; another reviewer alleges poor clinical decision-making around a seriously unwell cat and describes being offered medication that left the cat “dopey and afraid.”

This vets should be avoided, they also run Timperley vets. They are false with their caring approach to the customer, completely money orientated and not as skilled as one would expect.They rang me to offer a completely pointless operation to empty my dieing cats bowels and twice refused to euthanize him when he was clearly suffering. He had banged his head, was disoriantated but had never fitted. I've since been told he might have slowly recovered with the correct care but I trusted them and continued to pay their high prices for meds that made him dopey and afraid along with numerous appointment fees. I now go to another vets. In the end they allowed me to have him put down but by then he had suffered so much with incorrect treatment.

Attend there with my cats and dog for vaccinations. Been a couple of times with ailments. Dealt with quickly but somewhat expensive.

Very nice atmosphere, friendly secretary and helpful doctor. They were the only ones in the area who agreed to adopt my cat, thank you very much for your help.

First time at this veterinary surgery with an RSPCA foster cat. The staff are really friendly and obviously love their jobs. The visit was a real pleasure.
