Manchester Veterinary Centre

Manchester Veterinary Centre describes itself as a purpose-built practice and lists Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) registration. It’s also recorded as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe a mix of routine care (booster vaccinations and health checks) and in-practice procedures requiring sedation or general anaesthetic—such as sedating a dog to treat an ear infection and dental extractions under GA. End-of-life care is also specifically mentioned, including a condolence card sent afterwards.

Some reviewers refer to the practice as “Willows Vets”; based on the information provided, it’s unclear whether this is an alternate name or a separate brand—so it’s worth being aware of that naming inconsistency.
