Swayne & Partners Limited

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. Recent reviews are mixed: some clients praise friendliness and pet comfort during visits, while others report a less personal, more “corporate” feel and one 1‑star account says they were dismissed when contacting the practice during a seizure emergency.
