Clinic Overview

Bolton Central Vets for Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group (described on the Vets4Pets site as “locally owned”). Based on recent reviews, the practice is used for both routine consults and procedures (including a cherry eye operation), and also sees exotic pets such as reptiles. Several owners highlight longer, explanation-led appointments (rather than being “in and out” with medication), respectful end-of-life care where owners could stay with their pet, and personal follow-ups such as a handwritten sympathy card after a loss. The clinic is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Services

  • General consultations, with owners describing thorough explanations of treatment options.
  • Soft-tissue eye procedure: cherry eye operation (specifically mentioned for a young dog).
  • Exotic pet care: reptiles and a leopard gecko are specifically mentioned, with one reviewer describing an “exotic vet” they’ve used for years.
  • End-of-life care: euthanasia is described in reviews, including being able to stay with the pet and the pet being treated with “respect and dignity”.

People

  • Aine/Ainee (vet): repeatedly named for compassionate care and communication. Owners describe feeling listened to, having treatments explained (not “just handed tablets”), and support through euthanasia with the option to stay with their pet.
  • Jochem (described by a reviewer as their “exotic vet”): mentioned for working with rescued reptiles and providing detailed explanations without rushing. One owner also notes he asked to be kept updated and that the practice sent a sympathy card after their leopard gecko died.
  • Reception team: multiple reviews mention friendly, helpful reception staff.

Reviews

4.6 stars from 215 reviews. The written reviews available to us focus mainly on staff communication, compassion, and a few specific procedures and situations. “”
