The Best Veterinary Cares in Gillingham, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Great Vets, really good at making my highly strung Lab calm and comfortable

Super helpful, friendly and caring. They remember who you are, very knowledgeable and always willing to help.

North Dorset trailway is just beautiful

Exceptional Veterinary Practice. Although I have been a client for many years, my dog Jack seldom needs care. Recently however he was suffering a gland problem.. Jack is an imported rescue and the BVA recommend a safeguarding procedure (blood test) prior to any surgery in such cases due to possible Brucellosis infection. I was uncertain of the benefits, but was able to have a practical and sensible discussion with Giles, beforehand Jack had the procedure under sedation & Giles whipped out a loose back tooth too. Jack is not insured, but I was given an estimate of cost at our initial consultation which matched our final invoice. Thank you Giles, it seems to have done the trick and Jack has forgiven you (almost!)

Always has the pets' best interest at heart, rather than the profit driven experience I've had at other multi national owned vetinary surgeries. Good common sense approach, kind and caring.

These vets are the best I have used. All of the vets and staff are so friendly, caring and compassionate. We recently had to have our handsome boy put to sleep our dog and ourselves could not have been in better hands. A big thank you to all of you for everything.

The team have always been excellent with our late cat Sammy over the 18 years of his life, thank you for everything

Exceptional care and attention. Always friendly and welcoming.

Always go to Southill and the care is exemplary every time. Huge thank you to the whole team.

All the vets seem very pleasant and helpful, the nurses likewise. Separate waiting area for cats/dogs works well. A nice car park at Wincanton rounds off a satisfying experience.

A friendly welcome for both Ruby and myself with quick knowledgeable service from both reception staff and vet and a much appreciated treat for Ruby

Very professional team who treated our elderly cat quickly and kindly taking time to do the correct diagnostic tests and swiftly making the right diagnosis. They helped us with the insurance claim and I feel sure they will be as efficient with the ongoing treatment.

Took my cat Willow to Southill Vets (Gillingham) and the reception lady was lovely as was the vet. Both utterly professional, friendly and very welcoming. Thank you - great service 🙏🏻

We can’t praise Southill vets practice enough. We had an emergency with our cat last Sunday and the care given to her (and us) was amazing. Special praise to Charlotte Kelham, who ensured our cat was made comfortable, before arranging admission to Langford Vets in Bristol that afternoon for emergency surgery. All the staff we have contact with, including the receptionists, show such care, we really feel lucky to have such a wonderful practice
