About Veterinary Care in Newcastle upon Tyne

Updated January 2026

This guide helps pet owners compare veterinary clinics in Newcastle upon Tyne based on services, animal coverage, and availability. Find the right fit for your needs by understanding what each clinic offers, from emergency care to routine check-ups.

Top-rated veterinary clinics in Newcastle upon Tyne

There are 12 veterinary clinics in Newcastle upon Tyne, with an average Google rating of 4.5★. Among these, 10 clinics provide services for dogs and cats, while 2 clinics offer farm or large-animal services. Additionally, 2 clinics offer emergency or out-of-hours care, but there is no 24-hour veterinary cover available locally.

Emergency and out-of-hours care is crucial for pet owners needing immediate assistance outside of normal working hours. Blythman & Partners is noted for its 24/7 emergency care via its hospital site, providing peace of mind to pet owners requiring urgent attention. However, no clinic offers 24-hour vets in Newcastle upon Tyne, meaning round-the-clock care isn't available across the board.

When comparing clinics, the presence of veterinary nurse training is an important distinguishing feature. Five clinics in Newcastle upon Tyne offer VN training, which can indicate a focus on nurturing skilled professionals. This contrasts with other clinics that may concentrate solely on treating animals without this aspect of training, potentially affecting the scope of veterinary care provided.

Mid-ranked or routine-focused clinics play a significant role in the town's veterinary landscape by delivering essential care services such as vaccinations, microchipping, and regular health checks. These clinics are fundamental for maintaining pet health and managing routine care needs. Their services ensure that essential pet healthcare is widespread and accessible.

Overall, the town has strong clinic depth, with a broad range of services distributed across its 12 clinics. Veterinary clinics in Newcastle upon Tyne are primarily oriented towards companion animals, ensuring that the needs of local dog and cat owners are met comprehensively.

Blythman & Partners is an independent, family-run veterinary group with multiple practices, with 24/7 emergency care provided through its hospital site (RCVS hospital status). The clinic appears set up for both routine care (vaccinations, microchipping, dental treatment) and urgent/complex cases—reviews mention emergency visits handled in an organised, calm way, and one owner describes the team consulting other clinics/professionals to help with diagnosis. Practical touches mentioned include an online portal to manage appointments and access information (including insurance receipts), and a “monthly puppy club”/new puppy sessions (one reviewer describes an “informative hour for new puppy owners”). Feedback is mostly very positive, but there is also a recent 1-star review alleging rude staff, a stressful hospital stay, and concerns about being “look[ed] after… money.”

Doorstep Vet is a mobile veterinary service (home visits) that emphasises longer appointments and continuity of care from a small team. Based on the website and recent reviews, they appear set up for pets that find clinic visits stressful and for owners who want more time to talk through options. Owners repeatedly mention home visits for routine care (vaccinations and check-ups), ongoing management for longer-term conditions (including diabetes monitoring with regular check-ins), and end-of-life care carried out at home. Several reviews also describe follow-up actions such as next-day checks with blood test results and a vet phoning after speaking to a medication company to discuss how to use diabetic medication.

Community Pet Clinic’s website presents it as part of the easipetcare group (with online booking, payment-by-installments via Klarna, and a Pet Health Club® Plus plan where consultations are included). However, multiple recent reviewers describe their visits as being to a PDSA/charity service and refer to making donations—so the clinic’s branding/ownership is unclear from the sources provided.

Based on the information available, the clinic appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccines, parasite treatment, neutering, dentals) plus general medical work-ups (blood tests and treatment for infections are mentioned in reviews). Reviewers also describe end-of-life care and at least one case where they turned up without an appointment and a kitten was treated.

Concrete details that come up repeatedly

  • Vaccinations, neutering, dentals, flea & worm treatments are listed on the website.
  • Reviews mention blood testing, antibiotics after a quick diagnosis for a urinary/water infection, and euthanasia carried out in a calm, peaceful way.
  • Several reviews mention waiting a while to be seen because clinical staff were busy.
  • Some owners talk about paying full price and/or leaving donations, suggesting a mixed payment model is experienced by clients.

Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group (described by a reviewer as a franchised setup). The practice appears set up for a broad mix of routine and surgical cases, with on-site facilities listed including an operating theatre, hospital ward, in‑house lab, ultrasound and digital/dental X‑ray, plus separated dog/cat wards and isolation units. Recent reviews include detailed positives around surgery and end‑of‑life support (for example: bladder stone surgery for a cat, spay support with reassurance, and a paw‑print keepsake after euthanasia), alongside a cluster of complaints about being asked for a £25 deposit and lack of privacy when consultations happen in the reception area.

Companion Care (Newcastle Kingston Park) Ltd trades as Vets4Pets, and the practice website describes it as family-run and locally owned. The clinic appears set up for routine consultations through to in-house diagnostics and surgery, with facilities including an operating theatre, hospital ward, isolation unit, in-house lab, plus digital X‑ray and ultrasound. Reviews highlight practical communication points—owners mention getting an estimated cost before agreeing to treatment, and one rabbit owner describes a same-day phone update during routine surgery plus aftercare. There is also a conflicting signal for rabbit care: one recent reviewer says they haven’t been impressed with care for bunnies, while another (older) review describes staff as knowledgeable about rabbits during neutering.
