Best Vets in Bury – Complete Local Guide

Medivet Ramsbottom is part of the Medivet group. The practice appears set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, parasite care, microchipping), nurse-led support, and in-practice diagnostics (in-house lab, ultrasound, X‑rays), with surgical care also described in reviews (a biopsy where a lump was removed while the pet was in theatre). Out‑of‑hours care is provided by Armac Veterinary Clinic.

Specific things owners mention include being able to get appointments accommodated when needed, being kept “fully informed throughout” procedures, and staff taking time to answer questions without making owners feel awkward for asking. One review also describes a staff member (Sophie) delivering medication to the owner’s home when they couldn’t collect it.

Vets on the Meowve is a home-visit veterinary service operating from a specially designed mobile veterinary surgery, established by Registered Veterinary Nurse Christine Dixon. Based on the website and recent reviews, it’s geared towards doing many “in-practice” type jobs without your pet needing to travel—ranging from routine vaccinations and health checks to procedures performed in the mobile unit.

Owners repeatedly mention

• •thorough, unhurried exams with clear explanations of care and costs before treatment
• •procedures carried out via the mobile clinic (for example, lump removals), with pets recovering at home afterwards
• •support for anxious pets (and owners with mobility/health limitations) because appointments happen in the pet’s familiar environment

Vets for Pets describes itself as a locally owned practice with modern facilities, including an in-house lab, digital X-ray, ultrasound, an operating theatre, hospital ward, and isolation unit, plus separate cat and dog waiting areas/wards. The site lists a wide range of diagnostics and surgery (including cruciate surgery, fracture repair, endoscopy, and chemotherapy/cancer treatment), suggesting it’s set up for more than just routine vaccinations.

From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly distinguish between the clinical team and the front desk experience: several describe vets/nurses taking time to comfort pets and owners (including during euthanasia and when handling anxious dogs), while multiple reviewers report rude or unwelcoming reception interactions. A small number of reviews raise concerns about prescription policies/refunds and a microchipping visit where an owner alleges their kitten returned with a bleeding neck and was advised to rebook for an additional charge.

Armac Veterinary Clinic has been operating since the 1980s (per its website) and offers both routine vet care and a 24/7 emergency service. It also states it is a veterinary nurse training facility. Owners most often mention being able to book and be seen at short notice for urgent problems (including being seen “within the hour” and on a public holiday morning), alongside calm, reassuring handling during stressful situations such as euthanasia. Reviews are not uniformly positive: one recent account describes concerns about vaccination/worming advice, worsening diarrhoea in a kitten, delays in receiving lab results, and promised calls not happening—alongside a bill of £480 for two visits.

Simon Constable Veterinary Practice Ltd is an equine-only practice with its own clinic facilities (“Heaps Equine Clinic”), including an in-house laboratory and two digital radiography systems. The website lists a wide range of equine work (including surgery, lameness workups, endoscopy and shockwave therapy) and a 24-hour service.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe thorough explanations during visits (including taking time to talk younger owners through procedures), practical help with insurance claims, and follow-up after urgent/out-of-hours callouts (including calls later the same day and the next morning). Specific treatments mentioned include surgery to remove “floating bone” after an accident and an inpatient stay for a lumpectomy, with owners commenting on clean stabling and inpatient care.
