Goddard Veterinary Group Chalfont St Peter – Vets in Chalfont St Peter
Clinic Overview
Goddard Veterinary Group Chalfont St Peter is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (the practice joined the group in 2012) and has operated since 1961. Based on the clinic website, it’s set up for general practice care with on-site diagnostics (including blood testing and x‑rays) and routine operations, with emergencies directed to the group’s Mandeville Veterinary Hospital (open 24/7, 365 days a year). In the latest reviews available to us, owners describe same-day support for an unwell dog including phone check-ins throughout the day, and vets who discuss concerns and avoid “tests that are not required”—but there are also sharply negative accounts describing a rude receptionist and a claim that a dog was left to deteriorate over a weekend.

Disgusting people with unbelievably rude receptionist.. happ you take thousands over the years and then leave your dog to digerati all weekend. Most burgers would be better. Avoid at all costs.

My little dog Freddie went to Goddards vets yesterday as he was very unwell. From the moment we got there everyone was so kind and helpful. They took such good care of Freddie and helped us get him better. They were there throughout the day on the phone checking on Freddie and making sure he was ok. I can’t thank them enough.

Very caring and approachable staff. Always look out for my dog and give her lots of attention and treats. Pet care itself is applied by some great vets who listen to your concerns and check where needed whilst helping not to waste money on tests that are not required. Great experience and definately go here if you want your dog to looked after how you would want. Recently booked out dog in for a test to see if she was ready for pregnancy and the staff were caring and professional.

Outrageous price for medicines. The tablets my dog was prescribed cost more than £130 for 28 and these, I later found, are available on the internet for less than £49.

I would like to thank all the staff at Goddards Veterinary Practice for their kindness and compassion shown when I had to bring our 13 year old cat Layla who sadly had to be put to sleep this week. Layla was seen by Karina who treated Layla with respect and kindness and also gave me time to come to terms with a very difficult decision. The staff have always been helpful and very pleasant to deal with over the last 13 years. Thank you.
