The Best Veterinary Cares in Boughton Lees, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Very good vets, always helpful. Highly recommended

Very helpful use these guys all the time

Jack turned up to have a look at our sheople, very knowledgeable and gentle with what are pets. Great service and good value for money.

Satnave sent me the wrong way but the vet on the phone was exclent

Holistic Vet with an Incredible Knowledge. Extremely Thorough. Understands Animals AND Owners. Highly Recommended.

Chinese Herbal Medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture for animals that works administered by a doctor who cares! My dog loves it.

On Wednesday morning, my doggy was still in a lot of pain with her back from a visit to the seaside the Saturday before. By Thursday evening the treatment had worked and she was able to jump back on the sofa, as well as run around with her brothers and stand up at the window again. We're so pleased - thank you from us and Sylvia :)

On Monday I had to say goodbye to my beloved dog Barney as he had reached the end of his life. It was a very hard decision to make. However, it was made easier by the kind care and guidance provided by the vet Dr Oliver Daniels from Silver Gate Vets, who helped us handle the sad process. Also for arranging everything with Di and Kat from Barnshaw Pet Crematorium. I appreciate the gentle way they collected Barney immediately afterwards and dealt so thoughtfully with his cremation. I am forever grateful for their services.

We knew it was time to let Roxy go after her diagnosis which was inoperable. She outlived vets prediction by nearly a year but the time had come. I wanted to do it at home so that she didn't experience any stress. For what was the saddest of times, couldn't have experienced a more peaceful send off. Michaela was kind and compassionate, no fuss was made, it was all done very kindly and swiftly as Roxy drifted peacefully away. The crematorium were waiting outside to take her way. Although a heart breaking day it was the best send of for my beloved fur baby and I would highly recommend Silver Gate Vets

Last week, Wednesday 1st February we had to make the gut wrenching decision to send our 18-year-old cat to heaven after a short battle with cancer. We had already decided that we wanted at-home euthanasia so that our cat Fudge was peaceful and in familiar surroundings. Oli went through the process step by step so that we were aware of the changes that may happen during the process and what to expect. He made sure to let us know exactly what was happening and reassured us that we were making the right decision. Even down to the details of his cremation such as where he was going and who would be doing it. Ensuring us he would be taken care of during his final journey. What was supposed to be a stressful and traumatic experience was turned into a quiet and peaceful send off for our cherished family cat. And for that, we thank you.

Cannot recommend enough. The thought of having to take our beautiful Tilly to the vets (which she hated) for her final moments was awful but she had deteriorated so quickly and on a bank holiday Monday we thought we might not have any choice. The decision was incredibly hard but Silvergate made the whole process stress free. Tilly was at ease the whole time and it was just as though she had drifted into a peaceful sleep, comfortable in her own home, loved and with her family which is all we could have asked for her. Thankyou for making our final moments with her so peaceful.

Thankyou so much to the amazing team at swale barn vets for giving our Lola the best possible care today! We were so worried about her having to go under anaesthetic being an older dog but Radu was so reassuring and talking us through the whole process. He then kept us up to date once she had come round and explained exactly what he had done and through the aftercare process too! So informative and put me at ease knowing our Lola was in being cared for by such a great team! Highly recommend ⭐️

Visited today, at short notice and was so impressed by the caring and gentleness of the vet and the lovely kind receptionist too. They treated my cat with such care and softness - l was really shocked - our last visit to Pets At Home was awful. Would highly recommend this lovely practice 100%. Thankyou!

First class service. Ronnie is 4 days post op from being castrated, from start to finish they dealt with me faffing and worrying. Due to Ronnie being exempt they adapted to my needs to put my mind at rest, they allowed me to stay with him for initial sedation and then invited me in once op was complete. Their first thought was always my dog and whay made him feel comfortable

I've not long joined Swale Barn Vets, but so far my experience has been nothing less than fab. Everyone is so caring. I love that they are a properly Vet run practice and not a corporate company run practice that are everywhere these days, this is why I chose Swale Barn. I recently called at short notice as my cat Binx was not himself and off his food, and although there were no appointments they fit him in there and then. The vet, Jane, noted straight away that Binx was a stressy cat, and did everything she needed to do calmly but as quickly as she could so I could get him home ASAP. He was booked in the next day for dental work, i was given an estimate prior so i knew what it would cost. I received a call after the op talking me through the whole procedure and aftercare. They even made sure he was ready for me to pick up early as I was going out that evening. I highly recommend Swale Barn to anyone looking for a caring vets who put the animals and their families first.

This is, by far, the best veterinary service we have ever known. The vets, nurses and receptionists work as an amazing team and provide the best care we have ever experienced. All of our animals are registered here and have all received excellent care and attention, especially in the saddest of circumstances where we had our elderly lab, Maia, put to sleep. The compassion shown to us and her was exemplary and we received a beautiful handwritten card, signed by all the team, which included her nose and paw prints for us to keep. The vet, Tim, made a very sad situation so much easier by explaining everything and letting us take as much time with her as we wanted. We received her ashes back within two days in a beautiful photo frame and some "forget me nots" to plant for her. Lovely location, lovely vets and total value for money for the excellent service received. Thank you so much for taking such care of our lovely Maia. Xx

This practice is exactly what we were looking for in a veterinary service. I honestly don't think it could be any better. All of the staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The updates we received while Mr Grey was in their care were refreshing to say the least. The prompt treatment and after care he received could not have been better. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Thank you to all of the team at Bobbing Hill Veterinary 💙

This is the best vets. I have nothing but positive things to say about Bobbing Hill vets. All of the staff here are fabulous. Kind and caring and the most personable and the best at what they do. They have looked after my cat's bad eyes for two months with a very lucky outcome. We have visited today, a nice visit with a nice cup of coffee and a Christmas present for the boy 😻. Thank you again.

The best vets!! My dog use to be petrified at his old vets. Would shake uncontrollably and run for the door. Which gave me major anxiety at the thought of taking him to the vet with how he behaved. Now at bobbing hill he pulls me to the door, goes in and makes himself at home. Lays right out on the floor, has to say hello to everyone in there. He thinks of it as a day out even after surgery there which I thought would change his mind. Everyone he’s seen just love on him, get down to his level and play and give him attention which I think is what’s won him over. They all love him as their own. It’s such a pleasant experience for the both of us. They are super transparent with prices, there are no hidden costs like other vets. Yes slightly more expensive compared to other vets but I would pay that and more for the treatment me and my dog get. After his surgery in the following days I’ve had calls to check up on him and ask if I need anything etc.. they want to see him post opp 2 times before giving him the all clear and these are FREE!! I would have paid anyway but it was such a nice surprise as other vets would certainly charge for check ups. It just shows they care. It’s beautifully decorated and feels super homely. Always so so clean. Thank you for everything so far in the 3 months we’ve been with you. I so wish I had moved him sooner! Glad we have found a vets for life💙

I took my guinea pigs there and everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Jack was so knowledgeable and really cared for Piggy Smalls - I felt that I could trust them and I couldn’t recommend a better vet.

Faultless service from first contact. The kindness and support shown when my lovely old boa constrictor sadly had to be put to sleep was amazing, right up to and including when he was collected for cremation. Would 100% recommend this practice!!

Lovely staff that truly care for our tortoise’s wellbeing. Very welcoming and knowledgeable. Made it clear we can call anytime and gave us extra information to support with keeping him healthy. Could not recommend more!

Our lovely cat Rosemary of 18years, health deteriorated quickly and when we reached out to our own vet of 20years we couldn’t get an appointment within reasonable time. We contacted Medivet Evegate- Montgomery, who gave us the opportunity to attend straight away and we were seen within 15 minutes of arriving. The whole service and compassion from all staff involved (reception lady who was so kind on the phone when I started crying and she led us into a consultation room and offered drinks and tissues, to the kind vet who was with us till the end with Rosemary ) was second to none. We would highly recommend this veterinary practice. We also received a beautiful card in the post today which meant so much to us. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts!

I see a lot of bad reviews if they need to change they will always call you! Dexter loves and I mean loves this vets i take him and he's eager to go through the door , Frenchie very vocal lol and they are so good with him! I wouldn’t go no where else! Thank you to you guys who work hard :) Lovely staff xx

Lovely vets. All the staff are so kind & caring. Our Addison's rescue dog is terrified of the vets, but the team are so great with her (especially Emily & Alex!) & I'm sure she realises they saved her, after a recent Addison's crisis. Great team!

This is a great, friendly practice. It’s reasonably easy to get an appointment, there’s always been parking available and you don’t have to wait around for ages. I first visited with a friend and immediately changed from my previous practice, as the vibe was so good. Even my dog likes it!

Amazing vets. I moved from another vets to these, and am so glad. Very caring staff. Vets who put the animals needs before money. Never had an issue getting an appointment, and usually got a same or next day appointment when I've had concerns.

Well, THIS is how a vet should be! Goodness, what a relief to know that one in the area, at least, isn't interested in what they can get out of the customer. I left another in Ashford after suspecting I was being encouraged to have treatment that wasn't necessary. It seems my suspicions were correct. So it was important that I was able to gain trust in a new vet, and one who could show professionalism and compassion for my elderly pup. And there we met Hannah, an amazing addition to their team. You could not ask for a kinder, friendlier, more professional person to look after your bundles of fluff. My little girl can be anxious to say the least. She has taken to Hannah, to the point that when she's well enough, she goes bounding in to her appointment for cuddles. I can't stress enough that that expression of care and love for your animal is a huge factor. What a frantic owner needs at the point of stress and upset is somebody who clearly loves the animals they are working with. Somebody who is able to show that affection and kindness and willingness to bond with your pet. That is gold. Even if the answers are hard to come by, or even if they cannot provide all the answers immediately, you feel completely assured that they care, and caring is central. The whole team there have been fantastic - putting up with numerous enquiries and checks and worries from me. And sadly we've been a regular visitor of late! And we can't thank Hannah enough. She no doubt saved my bundle recently. What an incredible thing that we moved over to Margetts just after she joined the team. And what an incredible vet she is. This is a plea - don't change. As clients we are very rapidly seeing what vets owned by big companies look like, and we are losing those qualities that the team at Margetts show. And I think we are slowly seeing this backfiring, as more people move from those types of vets to independent ones. Thank you, Margetts. The pup and myself are hugely grateful you are there (even when one of us protests about thermometers ending up in places we'd rather they didn't). ;)

After having seen several negative reviews I feel the need to add my view. Both my previous dog and my current one have had the utmost care from all of the staff at this practice. They have worked with me to find the best treatment at the time and they have actually saved me money on various occasions. All of the staff are caring and compassionate and will do everything they can to make sure my dog was/is given the best treatment possible . I can only say what my experiences have been but I am completely satisfied they have given 110% regarding the welfare of my animals.

Probably the best independent vet in the Ashford area. They look after your pet like it's their own with no conglomerate overpriced fees. Highly recommend

Not had a lot of dealings with them apart from when my cat was killed in an RTC. He was taken to Harrietsham vets who were excellent and very compassionate. Thanks

Highly recommend Harrietsham Vets. We've used them for 5 years. They are so caring with the animals. Won't go anywhere else!

I cannot thank Green Lane enough for the care they gave my Dear old Annie . She suffered from fits since January . An old lady at 15 , sadly she got a little bit more poorly, but a year on and sadly was her time to run in the field in the sky. She was so looked after by Val and her colleagues. I cannot thank you enough for giving us another year with our dear Annie wobbles. The care till the end was outstanding. We miss her dearly but happy memories a must. Thank you so much all of you . You go beyond and that me and Annie will always be grateful . Thank you for giving me and the boys that extra time and always understanding . Great team. Big love and thanks

Always fantastic here looking after our 2 dogs Bertie and Stan. Have been to several vets over the years and these are definitely the best in my opinion. Never disappointed or let me down. Highly recommended

Great staff. Excellent Vet. Animals are well cared for. Just need to sort the car park out.
