Howells Veterinary Services Limited describes itself as an independent practice (not a corporate group) and states it provides a 24-hour service across pets, farm animals and horses, including a mobile first-opinion service for horses and a farm supplies outlet. Reviewers most often mention help in urgent situations and practical handling of anxious dogs: one owner describes an emergency where staff arranged for vets to travel out quickly despite poor weather, and another says their anxious dog was brought in via a back door to avoid other dogs and was allowed to stay with the owner in a nurse room pre-op rather than in kennels.

Tower Veterinary Group is a multi-branch veterinary practice accredited under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Standards Scheme, and it’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews (all 5-star among the latest we’ve seen) repeatedly describe efficient routine care and notably calm handling for nervous pets—examples include an anxious cat brought in for annual boosters and a nail trim, and dogs that reportedly stay relaxed during visits. Owners also mention thorough health checks where the vet took time to listen to concerns, and small touches like pets being offered treats at the end of appointments.

Westpoint Group Trading Ltd – Murton is part of the Westpoint group and is set up as a livestock-focused veterinary practice rather than a small-animal clinic. The website lists routine and emergency farm work alongside reproduction-focused services (including cattle and sheep AI and embryo work), and reviews mention vets attending farm visits (including late-night call-outs). In the latest reviews available to us, sheep keepers describe getting hands-on guidance as new flock owners, and one detailed account describes a late-night visit for a sick orphan calf where the vet used the Madigan Squeeze technique and stayed on-site rather than rushing off.
