Clinic Overview

Wood Wharf Vets is a small-animal clinic set up for routine preventative care (health checks, vaccinations, parasite prevention) alongside in-house diagnostics (X-rays/ultrasound) and procedures such as surgery and dental care. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews give a mixed picture: several owners describe being seen promptly (including short-notice appointments and nurse-led help for a tick removal) and mention responsive follow-ups and support with insurance claims, while a negative review reports a difficult blood-sampling experience (bruising and an insufficient sample), repeated sedation with gabapentin, and repeated tests without clear answers or progress.

People

  • Prompt access when needed: owners describe being seen quickly, including short-notice appointments.
  • Thorough routine care: detailed health checks and vaccinations are described (including full-body checks and clear “what to expect after the jab” advice).
  • Help beyond the consult: follow-up responsiveness is mentioned, as well as practical support with insurance claims.
  • Nurse-led minor care: a tick removal was handled safely in a nurse appointment, including for someone not registered.
  • Conflicting experiences on clinical handling and diagnostics: one review reports bruising after a blood draw, an insufficient sample, repeated use of gabapentin sedation, and repeated/inconclusive tests that increased costs—contrasting with multiple accounts of gentle handling and good communication.
