While the staff are lovely at medivet, I have had to wait for my dogs appointment every time ive been in there, they are never on time, this causes great distress for my dog who is frightened of the vets, and for the amount of money you have to pay these days just seems unfair and have been a very loyal customer of many years with them, would be nice to get some sort of freebie every now and then just so I could give a more positive review.

Would highly recommend Medivet Dorchester- Southfields. All staff were friendly caring and professional, also very efficient and reassuring. My dog was admitted for an adder bite and has made a fully recovery

Absolutely amazing staff, and very clean within the vets itself. Highly recommend Siobhen, she is very welcoming and knows how to make your pets feel comfortable and calm during their appointment.

Our son's Buddy Dog from Guide Dogs was taken in as an emergency case Wednesday evening, before being transferred to Cave specialists the following morning. All of the staff that we saw couldn't have been more professional and compassionate. Unfortunately for us, our wonderful dog wasn't able to make it back home as he was found to have a huge cancerous tumour on his neck, but we know that staff ensured he was as comfortable as possible in the time he spent with Medivet. We are absolutely heartbroken to lose our boy so young, but we will always remember the care given and be grateful for the same.

We took our new puppy for their very first appointment at Medivet 24 Hour Dorchester and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience 🐾 From the moment we walked in, the staff were so warm and welcoming, which immediately put us (and our slightly nervous pup!) at ease. The whole team were incredibly friendly, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do. The vet was absolutely brilliant — taking the time to explain everything clearly, answering all our questions, and handling our puppy with such care and gentleness. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they treat, which makes such a difference as a new pet owner. It’s always a bit daunting taking your puppy for their first visit, but the team made it such a positive and reassuring experience from start to finish. We left feeling confident, supported, and really happy we chose Medivet. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and professional veterinary practice 🐶💙

Rude, unprofessional, not a care or understanding after telling me to drive there from Yeovil along flooded closed roads at gone 10pm, with no help so had to leave my two kids alone in a new county we don’t know. Didn’t even look at my dog after I tried so hard to make my way there and said very rudely “he’s not bleeding so you can wait a few hours while I operate”. Why couldn’t they tell me this beforehand and then I would have waited until morning rather than try and right off my car on these roads in the dark and most of which were flooded and closed which the receptionist said they weren’t nor would I have left my children alone! The fact he didn’t even look at my dog and said he’s not bleeding when in actual fact his right eyelid is all ripped open and streaming with blood, as is his neck and has been since the attack two hours ago. Vile! 27.01.26

We had to use medivet dorchester as an emergency out of hours vets for our dog as our vets in yeovil dont offer emergency out of hours. They were fantastic in what was an extremely stressful situation on a Sunday afternoon. Our 11year old dog blossom stayed with them for 3 days they set to work on her immediately and kept us upto date with her progress . I can't remember the lovely ladies that looked after blossom and reassured us but I wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend them to any one and can't thank them enough

I registered my cat with Medivet. They were easy to book appointments with. I took him for his first appointment on Thursday. The waiting area feels really bright and airey. The receptionist was lovely. I was impressed that they had a dedicated cat parent waiting area separate from other pets. The vet I saw was so lovely. She was extremely professional and treated my boy so well. He was so scared and she was so lovely with him. I was shown how to apply flea drops so that they work effectively. I have registered him on their petplan and I highly recommend this. I even got the first 4 weeks insurance free with petplan. I am so happy I registered him their as I know he will be well cared for.
