Clinic Overview

Woodcroft Veterinary Group describes itself as a group of six practices with a “state-of-the-art” veterinary hospital providing routine care alongside referral and emergency treatment for dogs, cats and rabbits. The website highlights major hospital facilities (multiple operating theatres, CT, ultrasound, X‑ray, in-house lab facilities, and visiting MRI), which fits with reviews describing hospital-level cases such as corneal ulcer surgery and intensive resuscitation attempts.

Owners’ recent experiences are mixed: several reviews describe detailed updates and follow-up (including daily calls after a pet’s death and vets staying in touch after treatment), while one recent 1‑star review alleges a late-night consultation led to a recommendation for immediate euthanasia that the owner feels was inappropriate.

Concrete examples mentioned include CPR and injectable treatment for 45 minutes on arrival in an emergency, urgent treatment for a corneal ulcer, and referrals in for heart murmur assessment/treatment.

Services

Based on the clinic website and the latest reviews, services/capabilities mentioned include

  • Emergency care (owners describe arriving in an emergency, including not being registered clients; one case involved CPR and injectables for 45 minutes).
  • Referral-level care (the practice states it accepts referrals; reviews mention being referred for a heart murmur needing immediate treatment).
  • Routine care (website lists annual vaccinations, flea and worm control, and health check-ups).
  • Ophthalmic treatment and surgery (urgent treatment for a corneal ulcer, with a “surgeon” named in the review).
  • Diagnostics and hospital facilities (website: separate cat/dog wards, large hospital wards, six operating theatres, CT scanner, X‑ray, ultrasound, lab facilities, and visiting MRI).

Pricing

  • One reviewer reports being charged £260 for a consultation after 11pm.

People

  • Alistair (surgeon) – credited in a review for urgent treatment of a pug’s corneal ulcer, alongside praise for the wider hospital team.
  • Alex Wilson – described as treating a pet with “urgency and compassion” and helping the owner “find a solution,” after a difficult prior experience elsewhere.
  • Helen and Chloe – singled out for aftercare support, including daily calls and ongoing updates after an emergency case where the pet died en route.
  • Zuzi – mentioned in a referral case for a heart murmur; the owner reports clear explanations, phone updates, and continued check-ins afterwards.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.4 stars from 172 reviews.

  • Strong feedback on compassion during end-of-life care, including accounts of staff taking time, not rushing, and treating owners with dignity in final days or after a loss.
  • High-intensity emergency efforts are specifically described, including CPR and injectable treatment for 45 minutes, and owners feeling the team “did absolutely everything possible.”
  • Communication and follow-up are a repeated positive, such as step-by-step updates during hospital stays, vets calling with updates, and ongoing check-ins after treatment.
  • Clear explanations around costs/insurance are mentioned, with one owner appreciating reassurance and insurance guidance, and another stating charges were explained before treatment.
  • A sharp negative outlier raises concern about decision-making and cost in an out-of-hours consult: one reviewer alleges they were advised to euthanise immediately after a late-night visit (and cites a £260 after-11pm consultation fee), while their regular vet later treated an infection and the pet recovered. This conflicts with other owners’ accounts of careful, empathetic support.
