Gladstone Vets in short

Gladstone Vets is a small-animal practice at the Hadley Centre, open weekday daytime and Saturday mornings, and this review rates its setup highly for owners who want day and night cover in one place. Daytime urgent cases come straight to the surgery while overnight and weekend emergencies stay on the same site through Vets Now.

Customers speak well of Gladstone Vets, with 4.8 on Google from 321 reviews, the only review source on record. The RCVS register lists the practice as an accredited Small Animal General Practice with graduate development and nurse training roles. Against it, the site publishes almost no treatment fees beyond a six-month pet check, which this review counts as its main weakness for owners who compare on price.

Our verdict

Our judgement: this practice suits you if you want daytime care in Hadley with overnight emergencies handled on the same site [1] [2]. The RCVS listing, checkable company detail and insurance references are on the public record [4] [5]. Against it, published prices are thin and weekend daytime hours are short, with Vets Now covering the rest [1] [2].

Strengths

  • Overnight and weekend emergencies stay on the same Hadley site through Vets Now, reachable on 01952 253963, while daytime urgent cases are brought straight to the surgery [2].

  • The RCVS register lists the practice as an accredited Small Animal General Practice with graduate development and nurse training roles [5].

  • Terms on the site name the operating company, company number and VAT number, and refer to public liability and professional indemnity insurance [4].

Limitations

  • The only treatment price on the site is the £24.99 six-month healthy pet check, with no consultation fee or price list published [1].

  • Sunday opening is absent and Saturday runs to noon, so weekend cover outside those hours sits with Vets Now [1] [2].
