  The team really are excellent at Southdown veterinary practice in Hove. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, professional and the vet, Elena is extremely knowledgeable and always explains the process and steps with each visit. I always know my 10 year old cat shall be well looked after and receive the best care. I highly recommend Southdown vets to anyone.

  I honestly can’t recommend this practice highly enough. Every single experience I’ve had has been fantastic, but I especially wanted to recognise Arlene, Elena and Diana, who have all been absolutely brilliant. Every interaction I’ve had with these three has been second to none. They are always so calm, kind and incredibly knowledgeable, and they genuinely make you feel like both you and your pet are in the best possible hands. Nothing ever feels rushed, no question is too silly, and they always take the time to explain everything clearly and put your mind at ease. As someone who worries about my cats, it means the world to be treated with such compassion and understanding. You can tell they truly care about the animals they see, and that really shines through in the way they work. Thank you to the whole team for consistently providing such exceptional care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone looking for a vet who genuinely goes above and beyond.

  Extortion. I’d be wary of older reviews (I’m not sure how recently the mega-Corp CVS who run almost 500 practices, have been involved here, but from the way things have changed I would say it was quite recently). In recent times we never see the same vet twice and it doesn’t feel like the practice we were recommended. Most recent visit left me seething. £95 for a flea treatment prescription!! It sounds like I’m making it up! Just to be clear - this isnt for the medication itself - just the prescription! It’s just extortion- theres really no other word for it. Any sense that you are being provided a caring health service seems to have completely dissipated from the veterinary industry and been replaced by price-fixing and money gabbing by the most awful profiteers. I hope the industry sees some regulation soon as it’s gotten out of hand. Just awful

  All the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, especially Elena, Quinton, and the receptionist (sorry, I forget her name). It’s clear that they truly love working with pets and they’re always respectful of pricing things fairly (unprompted!) for the humans. The Healthy Pets Club has more than paid for itself in discounts on procedures and “free” necessities (like worm treatment) so I recommend it for peace of mind.

  DO NOT TRUST THIS CLINIC WITH PET EXPORTS! I witnessed firsthand the absolute arrogance and incompetence of Mr. Eren Karakulak at this practice. My pregnant wife and I provided every legal document required for our cat’s travel to Turkey, including the specific government clauses that proved our cat was compliant. Mr. Eren chose to ignore clear regulations, hiding behind a supposed "authority" to refuse signing just because he felt like it. His gatekeeping and dismissive attitude caused my wife immense, unnecessary stress during a vulnerable time.The most ridiculous part? He claimed the rules were "ambiguous" despite being a native Turkish speaker who could read the gov.tr website directly. We went to another vet who confirmed everything was perfect and issued the certificate immediately. Avoid this place if you value your time, money, and sanity.
