Archway Practice

Archway Practice is repeatedly described in reviews as a clinic where many owners see the same vet over the full lifetime of their pets, including support “until it was time to say goodbye.” The vet most often named is Mr Dixon, who reviewers describe as direct and efficient (“no nonsense”), while also taking time to listen and examine pets thoroughly. Several owners also emphasise decision-making that prioritises the animal over cost (e.g., “will advise on what’s best for your pet and not his pocket”), alongside comments that fees feel fair.
