Ashleigh Veterinary Centre offers general pet veterinary care and also sees exotic and avian species (with an “exotic only” branch referenced on its website). Reviews describe both routine and complex care: spay surgery for a dog, a flank spay for a guinea pig after assessment found a heart murmur, and same-day treatment for a constipated bearded dragon (laxatives). Owners also mention practical touches around end-of-life care, including keepsakes (fur vial and paw-print mould) and a condolence card sent afterwards.

Manchester Cat Clinic is an independent, family-run, feline-only veterinary practice that opened in May 2023 after renovating an older veterinary surgery building. The clinic is set up specifically for cats, with a stated Gold Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation and facilities including an in-house lab, dental facilities, and imaging facilities. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly describe a calm, cat-focused environment (for example, Feliway diffusers around the clinic and being allowed to let nervous cats explore the room), and several mention clear explanations of what’s being done and why, including upfront conversations about costs.

Acorn Veterinary Surgery describes itself (in reviews) as a private practice, with many owners repeatedly naming vet Simon Tollet and his team for day-to-day care. It also advertises emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews contain a clear split: several clients report calm, reassuring handling of pets and owners (including with senior pets), while multiple low-star reviews focus on difficult phone interactions with a receptionist when trying to arrange sensitive or administrative matters (including a euthanasia appointment request and a microchip/vaccination record query).

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.
