## Summary Bow PDSA Pet Hospital is part of the PDSA charity (not an independent practice). The clinic is set up to provide free and low‑cost veterinary care “to pets in need,” and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe both planned appointments (with updates if earlier consults overrun) and end‑of‑life support, including a case where staff helped with euthanasia for a dog brought in without an appointment after policy changes were explained. Experiences are mixed: many owners mention clear explanations and compassionate handling, while one recent review describes a strong urine smell, a long wait, and a vet refusing to see a cat and kittens due to being overworked/understaffed. ## Services - Free and low‑cost veterinary care (stated by the clinic). - Veterinary nurse training facility (listed in the clinic data). - Emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours) (listed in the clinic data). - Euthanasia/end‑of‑life care (described in a recent review involving an unplanned visit). - Support for pregnancy/birth complications including a dog C‑section (described in a review). - Appointment-based consultations with communication about delays when earlier appointments run over (described in a review). ## People - Reception staff are mentioned as explaining policy changes and helping an owner who arrived unannounced for euthanasia, which the reviewer experienced as “going above and beyond.” - Vets are described very differently across reviews: - Some owners say the team explained “everything clearly and thoroughly” and were compassionate during care. - One owner reports a vet interrupted them, left the room, returned “curt and dismissive,” and then refused to examine their cat and kittens, citing being overworked and understaffed. ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.6 stars from 1130 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - Clear communication: owners mention being walked through “each step of the process,” and being kept updated if appointments run over. - Compassion in difficult situations: one detailed account describes staff helping with euthanasia during an unplanned visit and recognising the dog’s suffering. - Facility/access notes from reviewers: a “big waiting area,” card payments accepted, and free customer parking with disabled bays are mentioned; another reviewer reported the building “strongly stunk of urine.” - Service consistency appears variable: alongside multiple short positive reviews (“great service,” “friendly”), one recent review describes a long wait followed by refusal to see a cat and kittens due to staffing pressure.
