Clinic Overview

Animal Trust Vets CIC Bolton is part of the Animal Trust group (described on its website as a mission-led veterinary social enterprise). The clinic presents itself as a full-service general practice with urgent care available 24/7, and the website states urgent care is charged at the same costs as daytime services plus a £79 supplement.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe

  • Same-day access being possible (including booking via an online chatbot), though it can be busy.
  • A mix of routine care (annual boosters, parasite treatment) and more complex cases (X‑rays for suspected ACL rupture, foreign body surgery, bilateral surgery with an overnight stay).
  • Communication that helps owners feel reassured (for example, vets explaining treatment plans step-by-step), alongside occasional frustrations with admin/dispensing (one review mentions worming tablets being missed and difficulty pre-booking a regular monthly injection).

People

  • Maria (vet): mentioned by name in an urgent case involving an injured cat; the owner says she explained everything clearly and left them reassured after treatment.
  • Bran / “Bran costas” (vet): praised in two separate reviews connected to orthopaedic/surgical care (suspected ACL rupture leading to X‑rays and surgery booking; and another case involving medication changes, diagnostics, overnight stay, and post-op wound check). Owners describe him as supportive/professional and credit him with prompt decision-making.

Reviews

4.0 stars from 948 reviews. - Access and booking: same-day appointments are mentioned (including via a chatbot), but several reviewers note the clinic can be busy.

  • Handling and reassurance: owners describe staff managing stressed or noisy dogs by taking them through promptly, and vets explaining findings and next steps in a way that reassures them.
  • Complex casework appears common in reviews: X‑rays for suspected ACL rupture, surgery for a foreign body, bilateral surgery with an overnight stay, and post-op wound checks are all described.
  • Process/policy frustrations appear alongside positives: one owner reports a missed dispense of worming tablets, uncertainty about why a regular monthly injection could not be pre-booked due to rota issues, and wanting clearer itemised pricing at reception.
