Doorstep Vet – Vets in Newcastle upon Tyne

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

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.

Services

  • Mobile/home-visit veterinary appointments (multiple reviews describe vets and nurses coming to the home).
  • Vaccinations and routine health checks (explicitly mentioned for a dog).
  • Blood tests and follow-up with results (blood tests used to identify diabetes in a cat; another review mentions next-day return with blood test results).
  • Longer-term condition management and monitoring (diabetes support with medication, diet changes, and monthly check-ins; weight-loss programme with progress monitoring).
  • End-of-life care at home (one review describes a home visit for euthanasia and the process being kept stress-free for the dog).
  • Same-day help for an acute issue is described by one owner (team “were there the same day” when a dog hurt himself).
  • Online prescription ordering (website).
  • Home delivery for medications (website).
  • Pet portal access (website).

People

  • Jo (vet): Mentioned for examining a nervous dog while another team member fed treats; also phoned an owner after speaking to a medication company to discuss the best way to use diabetic medication.
  • Gabby (assistant) and Angela (assistant): Named in a review describing a vaccination/check-up visit for a dog anxious about vets, and support with a weight-loss programme.

Reviews

5 stars from 160 reviews. - Home visits are repeatedly described as making appointments “stress-free” for anxious or timid pets (treats used during exams; owners mention avoiding travel and other dogs).

  • Communication and shared decision-making: owners say options are explained, with transparency around choices and prices.
  • Ongoing support is a common thread in longer-term cases: diabetes identified via blood tests, then managed with medication, diet changes, and regular check-ins; another owner mentions progress monitoring on a weight-loss programme.
  • Follow-up is specifically mentioned (next-day check with blood test results; phone call after liaising with a medication company).
  • Compassion around end-of-life care at home is highlighted, with owners describing the process as made easier and calm for the pet.
