Dick White Referrals Limited describes itself as one of the UK’s first veterinary referral hospitals (established in 2003). The evidence available points to a specialist, referral-led setup handling complex cases: recent reviews mention ophthalmology work (including an eye ulcer case with a plan to “save his eye,” and a dog regaining eyesight after treatment), and a neurology team treating a critically unwell dog who later recovered at home. Owners repeatedly mention structured communication during referral care, including telephone and email updates, and in one case photo updates showing day-to-day changes.

VetVisit (website brand: Lida Vets) is set up for small-animal work and states it provides a 24/7 emergency service. The website highlights multiple pet-environment accreditations, including Silver Cat Friendly Clinic, ISFM membership, and dog-friendly accreditations, plus an Investors in the Environment Silver Award. In reviews, owners mention same-day urgent care (“seen within half an hour”), follow-up appointments being booked, and the practice handling an insurance claim—but there are also recent 1-star accounts alleging pressure to approve expensive tests/treatment and pushy promotion of a pet care plan, alongside others describing friendly handling of puppies and good treatment outcomes.
