Goring Veterinary Centre

Goring Veterinary Centre is listed on the Fully Vetted website (and uses a Fully Vetted email/website domain) and is marked as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe the clinic as set up for both routine care (a joint cat/dog vaccination appointment is mentioned) and difficult, emotionally charged care—including support during a dog’s cancer diagnosis and euthanasia with an emphasis on dignity and gentleness.

Specifics owners mention include

• •Support for a dog “diagnosed with cancer,” with the team described as “so supportive” and “going above and beyond.”
• •End-of-life care where staff “afforded her every dignity” and continued to be “thoughtful and kind” afterwards.
• •A vet taking time to work out the cause of a limp in a cat who was “terrified of the vet.”
• •One review reporting a cancelled vaccination appointment after a single missed call and repeated failed attempts by the owner to reach the clinic by phone, described as “rude and unprofessional.”
