Regency Vets appears to be an independent practice founded by a husband-and-wife vet team (Alex and Olivia, as described by a client). Reviews repeatedly point to continuity of care (owners say they can see the same vet) and unhurried appointments, including one report of an hour-long cat consultation with a thorough examination. Owners also describe clear explanations of procedures and costs before treatment, and several mention calmer, confidence-building handling for nervous pets (for example, getting down to the dog’s level to help them settle).

Arvonia Vets describes itself as an independent practice (established since 1980) focused on family pets, with on-site advanced kit including a CT scanner, ultrasound, and a fully equipped laboratory. The practice appears set up for both everyday care (for example vaccinations, puppy/kitten packs, and repeat prescriptions) and more complex surgical work (the website highlights orthopaedics, knee reconstruction, and complex soft tissue surgery). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention same-day appointments, clear explanations and thorough exams, and urgent care including an emergency C-section.

Owners repeatedly describe practical, decision-relevant details such as
- •Taking time at appointments to give advice rather than rushing (a puppy vaccination appointment with nurse Hannah was described as unusually thorough even at the end of the day). - Handling challenging dogs calmly and confidently (one owner mentions “reactive” dogs and says the team were accommodating and confident with them). - Not pushing up costs unnecessarily (one reviewer contrasts Casvet with other practices and says they didn’t try to increase the bill).
