Veteris Shoreditch Mobile provides 24/7 emergency veterinary care, including phone triage and at-home visits by veterinary surgeons when needed. The service appears geared to urgent cases in both home and clinic settings: reviews describe rapid assessment and treatment for poisonings/ingestions, surgery after a cat swallowed plastic, and end‑of‑life support at home. Several owners also mention practical, process-focused touches such as collecting details by phone before arrival to speed intake, updates while waiting, and follow‑up calls the next day or after the weekend to check recovery.

Wimbledon Veterinary Surgery presents itself as “proudly independent” on its website, while also stating it is part of the London Veterinary Surgeries group and “independently owned by DNA Vetcare” (so the ownership/independence messaging is mixed). The clinic describes a purpose-built hospital, RCVS Accreditation, and Cat Friendly Clinic status, and offers an out-of-hours emergency service.

The Urban Vet describes itself as an independent clinic with an emphasis on preventative care, 20‑minute appointments, and trying to book pets with the same vet each visit for continuity. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and more involved medical work, with in‑house diagnostics (lab tests, X‑ray, ultrasound) and procedures including laparoscopy, plus a dedicated dermatology clinic.

The London Vet is a single-branch, independent practice established in 2019, and it’s also a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the latest reviews, owners describe both routine and urgent care being handled promptly and thoroughly—examples include recurring ear infections, parasite treatment in a young pet, and help during “scary moments.” Several reviewers highlight being listened to and having clear support during stressful situations (including a call where a vet spent time calming an owner before taking the history). One review also describes the team offering emergency help to a cat hit by a car, prioritising immediate care and support over payment in the moment.
