Clinic Overview

Springfield Veterinary Group is an RCVS-accredited veterinary hospital (established in 1964) offering 24-hour care with an on-site dedicated emergency service (MiNightVet). Based on the website, it’s set up for more involved diagnostics and referrals as well as routine care, with facilities including an on-site CT scanner, in-house lab, X‑ray and ultrasound, and multiple RCVS “Outstanding” awards (including Emergency & Critical Care).

From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention

  • Support for anxious pets during appointments (including a nurse taking time to help a nervous dog settle and leave “tail wagging”).
  • Care for “exotic” and small species (e.g., guinea pigs, rabbits, ball pythons), including thorough diagnostics and clear explanations.
  • Thoughtful end-of-life support (including a condolence card and paw print being sent after euthanasia).
  • Dental work being carried out successfully (including teeth removed with a smooth recovery reported).

Services and capabilities mentioned on the website include

  • Routine care: consultations, vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping, six‑month health checks, nurse clinics, blood pressure checks.
  • Surgery: neutering, general surgery, dentistry.
  • Advanced diagnostics: diagnostic tests & imaging, on-site CT scanner, X‑ray, ultrasound, in-house lab.

People

  • Sarah (veterinary nurse): mentioned for handling a dog with “severe anxiety” by taking time to win the dog round and help them leave calm and comfortable.
  • James (vet): repeatedly named in reviews for exotic/small-animal cases—owners mention him taking time to fully diagnose a guinea pig, being upfront about when an operation was unlikely to help, and explaining options clearly. Also mentioned for rabbit dental care (regular burring for spurs) and advising on a rescue ball python.
  • Rachael Frost (Senior Veterinary Surgeon): mentioned in a review for ongoing-care support and compassionate euthanasia support; the owner notes receiving a condolence card with their dog’s paw print afterwards.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.1 stars from 104 reviews.

  • Time and patience in appointments, particularly with anxious dogs (one owner specifically describes their dog leaving calm with a wagging tail after a nurse review).
  • Exotics/small-species competence: several reviews focus on guinea pigs, rabbits and reptiles, describing careful diagnosis, in-depth advice and clear explanations.
  • Dental outcomes: one owner describes a dog’s dental procedure with teeth removed, noticeable improvement (including breath), and being back to normal within 24 hours.
  • End-of-life compassion: a detailed review describes supportive euthanasia care and a follow-up condolence card including a paw print.
  • Cost perceptions vary: one owner says costs were “more reasonable” than other vets they tried; another says prices are “expensive” but comparable to other practices.
