Clinic Overview

Divilly Veterinary Clinic is most often described in reviews as a general small-animal practice that also hosts a visiting (“roaming”) vet for exotic pets. Owners mention routine care (injections and check-ups), surgery with detailed aftercare guidance, and more investigative work-ups (tests scheduled to pinpoint a spine problem) rather than “rest and see.”

Divilly Veterinary Clinic is most often described in reviews as a general small-animal practice that also hosts a visiting (“roaming”) vet for exotic pets. Owners mention routine care (injections and check-ups), surgery with detailed aftercare guidance, and more investigative work-ups (tests scheduled to pinpoint a spine problem) rather than “rest and see.”

Concrete points owners repeatedly mention include

  • A clean clinic environment.
  • Thorough examinations and planning of appropriate tests (including for spinal issues).
  • Clear aftercare explanations following an operation.
  • An emphasis (in one exotic-pet case) on aiming for the least invasive treatment route possible.

One recent review conflicts with the overwhelmingly positive feedback: it alleges repeated appointment mix-ups (expecting a particular vet but being seen by someone else) and describes the owner as arrogant/unprofessional.

Services

Based on the latest written reviews available to us, the clinic is described as providing

  • Routine preventative care such as injections and check-ups.
  • Surgical procedures (“after her op” is mentioned), with owners noting detailed aftercare information.
  • Diagnostic work-ups/testing when needed (tests scheduled to identify the cause of a dog’s spine problem).
  • Ongoing management for chronic conditions (diabetes is specifically mentioned).
  • Access to an exotic-pet vet who uses the clinic as one of their locations (guinea pig care is specifically referenced).

People

  • Dr. Anna (vet): Mentioned by name in multiple reviews, including one calling her “the best” and another describing consistent good care for their dog.
  • Fiona: Credited in a review with taking great care of a diabetic dog, with “attention to detail” specifically highlighted.
  • Visiting/roaming exotic-pet vet (name not given): Described as kind and focused on “least invasive” options while encouraging recovery (noted in a guinea pig case).

Reviews

5.0 stars from 145 reviews. Written reviews available to us are mostly strongly positive, with one recent negative report about appointment handling. “”

  • Clean premises are explicitly mentioned.
  • Thoroughness shows up in specific examples: a dog with spine problems being examined carefully and booked for appropriate tests to find the exact issue.
  • Post-op support is called out: owners mention being given thorough, reassuring aftercare information.
  • Chronic-condition care (diabetes) is mentioned with praise for attention to detail.
  • One reviewer reports being twice told they would see a specific vet but being seen by someone else instead, and describes this as unprofessional and ignoring clients.
