Preston Vets

Preston Vets is a small-animal clinic offering general care alongside more advanced procedures and diagnostics (including laparoscopic surgery, bronchoscopy, orthopaedic surgery, and advanced cardiac/abdominal ultrasonography), with on-site X‑ray and ultrasound listed on its website. It also states it provides emergency treatment for urgent medical issues, and treats a range of species (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and small mammals).

From the latest reviews, owners repeatedly point to practical, decision-making moments: a dog with arthritis getting more effective pain relief after a consultation with vet David; a fast referral arranged to an eye specialist; and support during a difficult case involving a dog and her pups. Several reviewers also say the vet listens to concerns and avoids “unnecessary treatments,” alongside comments about “good rates” and being “reasonably priced” (no specific fees quoted).
