Featured Clinic Overview
A small number of recent reviews raise serious concerns, including a report of a missed diagnosis (eye problem later identified elsewhere as entropion) and allegations of upselling/charging for services without consent; other reviewers, however, describe the clinic as good value compared with corporate chains and cite careful precautions around surgery.

Blue Cross Animal Hospital
Wandsworth
Our Score (74/100)
Blue Cross Animal Hospital is part of the Blue Cross animal charity and appears set up to provide veterinary care based on eligibility/financial need, alongside routine and urgent treatment. Reviews include multiple examples of serious, high-stakes support (life-saving treatment for cats, and end-of-life care for an elderly dog), plus practical operational details like a responsive phone line and staff allowing time for questions. However, some recent reviews describe being refused help because they were “not on benefits,” and one reviewer says they were not offered a referral elsewhere.
