Clinic Overview

Companion Care (Ashford) Ltd describes itself as a locally owned Companion Care practice. The website highlights a modern, well‑equipped setup (including an operating theatre, in‑house lab, digital imaging and separate cat/dog waiting areas) and notes emergency cover, with out-of-hours handled by Vets Now Ashford. Recent reviews include detailed accounts of rapid access for an urgent eye problem (seen within ~2 hours, fluorescein stain testing, and a booked follow‑up 2 days later) and peri‑operative updates during a spay (admission-to-discharge updates, including when the pet woke up). One reviewer reports the opposite experience on service consistency, citing late appointments, staff turnover, and a dispute with reception leading to being “cancelled” as a client.
