Clinic Overview

Hampden Veterinary Hospital is a 24/7, 365-days-a-year veterinary hospital for pets, and the wider practice also states it treats horses and farm animals. Reviews suggest the small-animal side sees a lot of routine preventative care (vaccinations, health checks, flea/worm treatments) alongside complex medical/surgical cases—one owner describes a major operation (leg amputation) with aftercare, and another mentions hospitalisation for an older dog with multiple health complications (blindness and diabetes).

From the latest reviews, owners most often highlight staff adapting appointments for anxious or difficult pets (e.g., carrying out a vaccination in the waiting area to keep things quieter; finding a way to give jabs without anaesthesia/hospitalisation). A minority report concerns about cost escalation and wanting clearer explanations of options.

Services

  • 24/7 emergency care for pets (stated on the clinic website).
  • Routine vaccinations and health checks (dogs, cats, rabbits referenced in reviews).
  • Preventative parasite treatments: monthly flea and worming treatment mentioned; ongoing flea-related injections mentioned by one long-term cat owner.
  • Complex care and hospitalisation: one review describes a dog staying in hospital with significant comorbidities (old age, blindness, diabetes).
  • Surgery and aftercare: one owner reports a major operation to remove a cat’s leg, with aftercare.
  • Support for anxious/nervous pets: owners describe accommodations such as scheduling the last appointment to reduce noise/traffic and delivering consults outside the consult room.
  • Insurance claims support: one reviewer says record-keeping made insurance claims easy.
  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility (listed in the clinic data provided).

Pricing

  • One reviewer reports being quoted £1,500 for treatment for a cat, with the total rising to over £3,500 by the end of care, and says they would have liked options explained more clearly.

People

  • Malcolm: mentioned as helping find a way for a “very difficult” cat to have vaccinations without being anaesthetised and going to hospital.
  • Maddie and Janet: praised for handling a deaf, very anxious dog—the vaccination was ultimately given during a long appointment carried out in the waiting area because the dog wouldn’t enter the consult room.
  • Leone: mentioned for careful handling of an elderly rabbit, giving a vaccination plus a thorough health check, and offering advice.
  • Reviews also repeatedly mention vets/receptionists being accommodating during vaccination visits (e.g., working around a nervous dog’s needs; a vet described as excellent with both a dog and a cat).

Reviews

4.3 stars from 180 reviews. - Handling nervous or difficult pets: multiple owners describe staff changing how/where appointments happen (e.g., vaccinating in the waiting area; finding alternatives to anaesthesia/hospital stays for jabs).

  • Preventative care is common: several reviews are specifically about vaccinations, weigh-ins, and starting flea/worming routines.
  • Complex cases are mentioned: hospital stay for an older dog with diabetes/blindness; a cat leg amputation with aftercare.
  • Process/admin: one owner says records are kept well and insurance claims were made easier.
  • Wait time: one reviewer reports waiting about 30 minutes past their appointment time.
  • Cost and options communication: one reviewer describes treatment costs increasing well beyond an initial quote and felt options (including euthanasia) were not clearly explained; they interpret this as being “money driven.”
