Swayne & Partners Limited is part of the Kin Vet Community (a corporate group is also mentioned in recent reviews). The practice appears set up for routine preventive care plus in-house diagnostics: the website lists an in-house lab, X‑ray and ultrasound, and a reviewer describes a visit for a scan carried out by a vet named Rachel. Out-of-hours emergencies are stated on the website to be handled by the group’s main practice, which is described as open 24 hours with a dedicated overnight team.
