Dog & Cat Vets in Prestwich

## Summary Park Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice that’s part of the Regan Veterinary Group, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website highlights on-site diagnostics (in-house lab work, X‑ray, ultrasound) and dental facilities, plus surgical options including keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery and orthopaedics/soft tissue surgery. In the latest reviews, owners most often describe clear explanations and continuity of care (including follow-up calls with results “when they said they would”), and specific case examples include eye problems treated with prescribed medication, keyhole neutering, and ongoing care for a heart condition. A few recent reviews raise concerns about communication and unexpected costs—one owner says an anti-sickness injection was given before neutering without being discussed first and was charged at £70, while another reports being told too late that an Animal Health Certificate appointment couldn’t be booked. ## Services Based on the clinic website and the latest reviews, Park Veterinary Clinic offers: - General consultations for small animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, ferrets) - Vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping - Neutering (including keyhole/laparoscopic neutering mentioned in reviews) - Dentistry (the website mentions on-site dental facilities) - Surgery, including orthopaedic surgery and soft tissue surgery (listed on the website) - Diagnostic tests & imaging (in-house lab work, X-ray, ultrasound listed on the website) - Nurse clinics, blood pressure checks, six-month health checks - Grooming & nail clipping, anal sac expression - Home visits - Eye problems are specifically mentioned in reviews (dogs seen for “sticky eye” and other eye issues) - Ongoing condition management is referenced in reviews (a dog under care for a heart condition) **Emergency care (as stated on the website):** - During normal opening hours, emergencies are handled by contacting the practice. - Out-of-hours emergencies are handled by PetMedics Veterinary Surgeons (as named on the website). ## Pricing - One reviewer alleges an anti-sickness medication/injection given before a cat’s neutering cost **£70** and says it wasn’t discussed beforehand. ## People Named clinicians mentioned in reviews: - **Jessica (clinician)** — praised for diagnosing an eye issue quickly and prescribing medication; reviewers also mention being made to feel relaxed and comfortable during the appointment. - **Keisuke** — described as “amazing” with a dog seen for eye problems; one reviewer specifically mentions “very clear advice and costings.” - **Avneet** — mentioned in relation to ongoing care for a dog’s heart condition; described positively for how the case is handled.
