Marple Veterinary Centre – Vets in Stockport

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Marple Veterinary Centre is owned by the IVC Evidensia Group (as described by a long-term client in a recent review). The website describes routine and preventive care for cats, dogs, rabbits and other small pets, plus practical admin services like export certificates and online repeat prescriptions. Reviews add that people often get same-day appointments, and multiple owners mention staff taking time to explain options clearly and help nervous pets stay calm during procedures like blood tests. Pricing is a recurring concern in the latest reviews, including a reported insurance administration charge and complaints about encouragement to add extra services.

Services

From the clinic website and recent reviews, services mentioned include

  • Consultations for cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals (ferrets and hamsters are also listed)
  • Vaccinations and health checks (cats, dogs and rabbits)
  • Microchipping
  • Operations including neutering
  • Worm and flea treatment
  • Free weight clinic and dietary advice (including prescription diets)
  • Repeat prescriptions with online ordering
  • Export certificates for the EU and other destinations
  • Emergency/urgent care: the website references needing an emergency vet but doesn’t detail the arrangement; one reviewer says they were directed at night to Vets Now as the out-of-hours service
  • Review examples of clinical care include treatment for a deep leg laceration involving muscle and tendon, and blood tests/check-up for an anxious dog

Pricing
