Medivet Lawley in short
Medivet Lawley is a small-animal practice on Station Road, and this review marks it out for putting every common fee on show. The daytime appointment, booster and neutering figures sit on the practice price list, and overnight cover runs through a named Shrewsbury centre with a stated consult fee and free phone assessment.
Customers rate Medivet Lawley well, with 4.7 on Google from 253 reviews, the only review source on record. The practice sits on the RCVS register as a Small Animal General Practice and a nurse training practice. Against it, the site states no insurance detail and Saturday hours differ between the site and the register, which this review counts as shortcomings in clarity rather than care.
The record shows a small-animal practice on Station Road at Lawley Bank, caring for cats, dogs, rabbits and small mammals. Standard fees for appointments, boosters and neutering sit on the practice price list, and overnight cover runs through the named Shrewsbury centre with a stated consult fee and free phone assessment. Step-free access and opening hours sit on the same pages.
The customer evidence on record is Google reviews alone, with scores in the hundreds behind a strong headline figure. Our review treats that as a fair signal for routine daytime care, which is most of what this practice does. Night work happens under another roof in Shrewsbury, so the handover arrangement matters more here than at a round-the-clock clinic.
Our verdict

The RCVS listing and a Google score of 4.7 out of 5 from 253 reviews form its public record [4] [5]. Against it: no cover statement is published and Saturday hours differ between the site and the register [1] [4].

Questions about Medivet Lawley
Is Medivet Lawley any good?
On the evidence, yes for owners who want every common fee on show: it ranks third of the nine emergency vets in our September round and holds 4.7 on Google from 253 reviews [5]. Saturday opening is unclear between its site and the register, so confirm weekend hours. Read the full review, then ask for the written estimate.
Is Medivet Lawley RCVS registered?
Yes. The RCVS register lists the practice as a Small Animal General Practice and a nurse training practice [4]. That is the entry to check against the Station Road address. Confirm the listing yourself on Find a Vet before you register your pet. The Station Road address on the register should match the surgery you visit.
What does Medivet Lawley charge?
Every standard fee is published in advance, with a £57 daytime appointment, a £65 booster and neutering from £224, plus an overnight consult fee of £130 at Medivet 24 Hour Shrewsbury with free phone assessment [1]. Ask for the written estimate before agreeing to treatment beyond a first examination. Figures come from the practice price list seen for this round.
Where does Medivet Lawley work?
The practice sits on Station Road at Lawley Bank, caring for cats, dogs, rabbits and small mammals, with overnight cover through Medivet 24 Hour Shrewsbury [1]. Daytime care stays local while night cases travel. Send your postcode with your enquiry to confirm you are inside its patch. Keep the Shrewsbury address with the overnight number.
How is Medivet Lawley ranked?
It ranks third of the nine emergency vets in our September round, the pick for daytime care with published prices and Shrewsbury overnight cover. We looked first at customer evidence, then qualifications and openness about cover and pricing. Read the full review, then confirm the price position in writing.
How do I get a quote from Medivet Lawley?
Phone the practice with your pet's species, age and symptoms and ask for a written estimate before agreeing to anything beyond examination. Every standard fee sits on the practice price list, so you can check the starting figure yourself, while night work through Shrewsbury is quoted at triage. Bring your insurance details and excess figure to the same call.
What do reviews say about Medivet Lawley?
Google reviewers give the practice 4.7 from 253 reviews, the only review source on record. That is a strong score from a mid-sized file of reviewers, matching the leader on headline if not on volume. Most reviews describe routine daytime care, which is the practice's main business. The file is smaller than the leader's, so each new review still moves the average.
How does Medivet Lawley compare with the others in the round?
It sits third of the nine, effectively tied with the retail-park rival below it on score. Against the leader it matches fee transparency but shares the Shrewsbury night drive; against cheaper-looking rivals its full price list still shows more. Saturday uncertainty is its outlier blemish. The register entry and published prices do the heavy lifting here.
