Great place that cares for my dog and is conveniently opposite Hockley Wood for parking. Paying a monthly fee which includes 2 check ups a year, inoculations, flea and worming tablets makes so much sense. Great Vet and welcoming staff I highly recommend Medivet Hockley.

This practice came highly recommended for my incredibly nervous dog and didn't disappoint. The reception staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. The vet went above and beyond to calm my dog. There was no rushing him, the vet gave him plenty of space to try to settle down. Given the time he did manage to examine him and even stroke him. The appointment finished with treats for my boy and advice to pop in when we're passing for more treats to help him during subsequent appointments. Will certainly be doing that. Couldn't have been happier afterwards. Thank you so so much.

*Based on average saving for dogs and cats on the Medivet Healthcare Plan over a 12 month period at this practice. This saving excludes the additional savings benefits that are available to these pets on plan (e.g. 15% off dental procedures & 10% off vet care and medication and some food). Prices correct February 2024.
