608 Vet Practice

608 Vet Practice is run by Linnaeus Veterinary Ltd (a named veterinary group). The practice has focused exclusively on pet animals since 2011, and describes a setup geared to both routine care and more complex cases, with a central surgery providing 24-hour care and handling emergency work, hospitalisation, imaging, more involved surgery, and rapid diagnostics via an in-house laboratory (stated as available 365 days a year).

In the latest reviews available to us, owners describe being seen quickly, having treatments explained clearly, and staff being supportive during end-of-life care (including sensitivity to a child with special educational needs). One reviewer also notes the service continuing despite being “handicapped by major construction work at the main branch.”
