Best Vets in Newport – Complete Local Guide

The Carisbrooke Vets has been providing veterinary care since the 1960s and, based on its website, covers small animals, exotics and farm work, with 24/7 in-house emergency and out-of-hours provision. Recent reviews most often describe quick access for urgent problems (being “seen immediately” or “straight away”), clear explanations during consultations, and practical follow-up information after treatment. Owners also mention some on-site workflow choices that affect visits, such as keeping cats and dogs separated in the waiting area (though one reviewer notes this isn’t always followed by other owners) and the use of text notifications.

Tern Veterinary Group is set up for both routine care and in-house diagnostics/surgery, with facilities listed on its website including operating theatres, radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, an in-house laboratory, and hospitalisation with separate dog/cat wards plus an isolation ward. It also states it’s a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe: pets having operations (including cruciate ligament surgery and cat spays), same-day handling of urgent problems (a broken nail removed after a morning call), and a style of care that includes explaining diagnoses/options and not pushing extra services. One owner also mentions receiving an emailed photo after their cat’s spay.

Bishop Hendry & Edwards offers general pet care with on-site diagnostics and surgery, and the clinic is set up for a wide mix of species (including cats, dogs, rabbits, small furries, birds and reptiles). The website highlights practical facilities such as digital X‑ray, ultrasound and in‑house blood testing, plus a dedicated cat waiting area; reviews also mention clean, “fit for purpose” surroundings and a calm, reassuring reception on arrival. Owners most often describe clear explanations (diagnosis discussed “in a very clear manner” and treatment options talked through) and supportive handling of stressful situations—from seeing a cat at short notice when another practice was fully booked, to compassionate care after a pet’s passing. A minority note potential trade-offs: one reviewer mentions lots of staff changes over the years and that it can sometimes be difficult to get an appointment with a vet, though they specifically praise the veterinary nurses.

Nova Veterinary Centre describes itself as a brand-new independent practice, with facilities geared towards both routine appointments and more involved work (in-house lab/diagnostics, digital imaging, surgical suite, and separate dog/cat/isolation wards). Owners’ reviews repeatedly mention being seen at short notice for urgent problems, and getting clear explanations before and after procedures without feeling rushed. Concrete examples include an emergency visit for a dog that ate toxic sultanas (they induced vomiting to bring up the sultanas and plastic wrapping), and a case where the team came out for a home visit due to a dog’s condition and helped the owner with an insurance claim.

Vets Now Newport Pet Emergency Service is part of Vets Now (a corporate out‑of‑hours emergency provider) and is an RCVS accredited Small Animal Emergency Service Clinic. The clinic is set up for urgent and critical cases in dogs, cats and other small animals, with on‑site facilities such as X‑ray, ultrasound, an in‑house laboratory, operating theatre, hospital ward and isolation unit. In recent reviews, owners most often describe rapid triage and pain relief on arrival, clear explanations of risks/options, and updates during the night while a pet is being treated; a smaller number report serious issues around delays, costs, and follow‑through on tests/insurance admin.
