Clinic Overview

Dragon Vets Charlton Kings is a Dragon Vets practice that’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews most often describe supportive, clearly explained consultations and an approach that gives owners options rather than rushing decisions. Specific examples mentioned include a vet (Hazel) guiding a family through euthanasia with clear explanations and a follow-up condolence card, staff helping to correct microchip details, and teams taking time to settle nervous pets with treats before continuing an exam. A minority view notes the practice can feel expensive, while others point to a monthly Pet Health Club as a way to spread routine-care costs.

Services

  • General veterinary consultations for dogs and cats (including new puppies/kittens and newly adopted dogs, as mentioned in reviews).
  • Euthanasia/end-of-life care (described as explained carefully and handled with dignity).
  • Microchip administration support (help with correcting incorrect microchip information was specifically mentioned).
  • Preventive care covered via a Pet Health Club plan (reviews mention vaccinations, health checks, and flea/worm treatment included).
  • Veterinary nurse training facility (listed in the clinic data).
