Goddard Veterinary Group - Plaistow

My dogs have had excellent care at Goddard in Plaistow - the staff, nurses and vets are kind and very capable, and I generally find it easy to get an appointment when I need one. Waiting times are almost never an issue. Separate dog and cat waiting areas and plenty of treats for the dogs if needed.

We have registered our dog at Plaistow surgery and so far we’re extremely happy with all the services. The team are lovely and take great care of our dog. We recently had her spayed and they have been great in responding to any queries we had via WhatsApp service. Would highly recommend.

I wasn’t sure at first as I’ve had bad experiences at past vets and my last vet before a house move set the bar very high, but now can confirm this is a very good vet for cats! The staff here are very helpful via WhatsApp, the cat calming blankets are good (sprayed with Feliway? I always spray my carrier with it anyway), the vet is friendly and the nurse is simply fantastic — she is the primary reason for this review! So caring and helpful, didn’t judge my boy and scold me for him being fat, and I am confident we will get him to a healthy weight with their help. The monthly pet plan is worth it — you are fully covered for flea and worm meds and a few check ups a year included. I also have FirstVet included with my insurance so all in all my cat has everything he needs. Waiting times vary. Last time I was seen within 5 minutes of my appointment. Today I waited >30 minutes, not great when your pet doesn’t want to be there! Parking is fine on adjacent roads with permit.

My cat was neutered here and it went smoothly. My cat was also vaccinated as a kitten and we come yearly to do his annual vaccination. I was able to get an appointment for my cat very quickly.

🌟 5 Stars – Truly Caring and Compassionate Team I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the team at Goddard’s Plaistow for their kindness and compassion during such a difficult time. Our beloved Cookie recently passed away, and the care and empathy we received meant so much to our family. They not only looked after Cookie with love and professionalism throughout his life, but also made a beautiful and touching gesture after his passing — sending us a heartfelt sympathy card and a little paw-shaped plantable token in his memory. The words in the card were so thoughtful and showed how much they genuinely care about the animals they treat and the families behind them. Thank you, Goddard’s Plaistow team, for going above and beyond. Your compassion and thoughtfulness have brought us great comfort. We’ll always be grateful for the way you cared for Cookie. ❤️🐾

My cat (Sphinx) needed extensive dental work he was stressed and difficult to handle but they made sure he was relaxed and was extremely well looked after, he had two check ups after the work was done to be sure he healed well. Unfortunately 2 weeks later he got out and was attacked by a stray cat and they managed to fit him in for an emergency appointment this time although he was in pain he hissed but was much easier to handle and i feel they had earned his trust through their kind and caring attitude. Summing up this practice has friendly, professional and caring staff from the receptionists nurses and vets i found they all try and go the extra mile to make it the best experience for all and would not hesitate to recommend for a 5 star service
