New vets off Barry road


Recommended Posts

Hi Snowflake, they opened last week :) I took my dogs in on Saturday for their yearly jabs, worming and kennel cough squirt up the nose. I was very impressed with them. I have been at my vets in Bromley for 16 years, but it was too far, so I decided to change vets and when I heard they were opening in the new year I made my mind up. I put a lot of store in my vets and this was a big descision, but so far so good ;-)

We've had very good experiences with this vet in the short time since they opened. Registered our cat with them last week and they will now send reminders when all jabs due. They also emailed our previous vets for his history. Unexpectedly this week we had to take him there with a leg injury. They saw us without an appointment, sorted him out and even gave my flatmate a lift home with him when she said she needed to ring a taxi! Plus it's a lovely calm environment in there with tea, coffee, biscuits etc. We didn't think it expensive. Highly recommended so far. LCT I'd entrust your precious cat to them, ours was clearly in excellent hands......

Got to agree with Tylertoes.I've taken my cat and dog down there today mainly for flee treatment. I saw Amber and she was realy nice and treated the dog well. The facilities down there look good and even offer the owners a drink! So yes I would be willing to pay more for that kind of service.


Not sure what the lordship lane vet charged for consultantion but it must be roughly the same.


In the end i believe its qaulity of service that is more important than price.

Just to say that my fella wandered in their the other day and was given a tour. He was so impressed that he's registered all three of our moggies there.


Apparently the premises are very impressive and inviting with 2 assessment rooms and a state of the art operating theatre.


the two ladies who run it (sorry, have forgotten their names, he did say!) are very nice and enthusiastic I'm told :-)


Also, they don't put a mark-up on pet essentials so we were able to get 6 months flea treatment for about the same as we'd have paid for 3 months worth through Brockwell Vets... pretty sweet!


They're also planning to introduce a cat/dog/small animal club where you pay a fixed monthly fee which includes all check-ups, flea treatments, vaccinations etc for a year. Not sure when that will be in place but we'll be sure to take advantage of it when it is :-)

Our cat has had a continuing programme of treatment with them following a leg injury, they really are exceptionally thorough, excellent at keeping you informed and very flexible with appointment times, understanding of work hours etc. We've had alot of interaction with vets over the years and would really recommend them highly at this stage. The 'stuff' for sale inside is reasonably priced too, bought a lovely cat food bowl for only a couple of quid that I had seen for double that elsewhere. Give them a try - we're so far impressed with their level of care.

we signed up a couple of weeks ago (as our old Vet it too far away now) and didn't think we would need their services so quickly! Had to get a quick appt after our dog fell and really hurt his leg - saw Amber last night and she was very professional, caring and informative. Really explained all our options and the stages we might need to consider if initial treatment doesn't work. Our other vet would always go for the last option, which involved x-rays, surgery etc i.e. ???. Yes, the cost is slightly more but I agree I would rather pay that if my dog is looked after well and less invasive treatment is considered first

I totally agree with the good things written about the new vets. Amber and Ingrid,the nurse, came to mine to fetch my semi-feral cat. Amber brought him back after treatment,safe and sound, a few hours later. The whole practice go the extra mile for the animals and their owners. Very impressed with them.

Just wanted to say a great thank you to The Neighbourhood Vets on Barry Road and recommend them highly. I usually go to John Hankinson's in New Cross (who I also rate highly) but yesterday I was 'caught short' so to speak and needed to see a local vet asap. I called at around 4pm and they told me come down as soon as possible (I had a very poorly rodent). I sent my bf in (couldn't face the potential PTS procedure) and they took their time to examine my pet, talked through the options and allowed my bf to speak to me before coming to a decision, so no rushing.


Sadly it didn't end well for Crumbs, but it's good to know that in an emergency they went the extra mile. I was very apprehensive about taking my pet somewhere new at such short notice but I would definitely trust them again.

My Toy Poodle is almost 14 years old and blind. She had a dental at the vets yesterday. I usually sit with her when she is knocked out, but as she was going straight in for her treatment, after her blood test, I left her there. Amber was the vet who did it and everything went really well :)) they phoned me as soon as it was over because I was sick with worry! I picked her in the evening after Amber gave me a thorough explanation about everything that had been done to her. She was very calm and didn't cry when she was in the cage (she is never in a cage except for the back of the car)Then this morning at 9.15 they phoned me to see how she was, I never had this with my old vet. The service from Neighbourhood Vets is brillient, the cost was reasonable too and most of all my dog is ok :)) keep up the good work!

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
