The Medivet team at this practice are excellent--My 2 dogs have been patients there for years. My 12 year old ruptured her ACL and couldn't walk on that leg, so they quickly x-rayed her and recommended surgery to repair the ligament. VK did an outstanding job on the surgery and she is 100% better. The surgery as well as the after care was all amazing. I have seen some very unfair bad reviews and these are either because they feel the receptionist was rude or that the charges were too high--so they give 1 star. I think the prices are fair--after all, it is a business and not a charity! I have pet insurance, which pays for most of the costs anyway. I highly recommend Medivet Kensington!

You will get OK care and the people are qualified here. Be aware though that the care will be delayed and you will be way way way overcharged. If you are looking for a reasonable vet for the long term - would recommend looking for an independent clinic. Nice that it works out of hours though

I brought my little Kally, just 3 months old, Italian greyhound to Medivet Kensington five weeks ago after she suffered a fracture. It was very late at night, but they welcomed us immediately and quickly helped relieve Kally’s pain. In the following days, I was very worried, but they called me every day with updates and reassurances. Dr. Vishaal did an excellent job with the surgery—thanks to him, Kally is finally back to her normal, happy life! A special thank you to Kate, who supported me through the whole process. She has a true love for animals, and her compassion was a great comfort to me. She kept me informed while Kally was admitted and helped me organise everything from the beginning to the end! I’m also incredibly grateful to the rest of the team—Natasha, Emma, Polina and Clarisse. Everyone was so kind, caring, and professional. Thank you so much to the entire team—you are all wonderful and clearly love what you do! Giovanna & Kally

I visited MediVet Kensington on the Thursday evening before Good Friday in an emergency situation—my dog had just broken her leg. It was an especially overwhelming moment as I had only recently moved from Canada to London. From the moment I called ahead to explain the situation, the team showed nothing but compassion and urgency, telling me to come in right away. Upon arrival, Katie at the front desk welcomed me with such warmth and kindness that it immediately brought some comfort to both me and my dog. Within five minutes, VK, the vet, came to take us to a private room. He was incredibly empathetic and reassuring, making me feel genuinely safe and supported during a very stressful time. While VK took care of my dog, Katie continued to check on me, which meant more than I can express. The communication throughout the experience was outstanding—clear, informative, and consistent. Even the next day, when I took my dog to a separate surgery clinic, the team at Kensington followed up to ensure we were both doing okay. The level of care, empathy, and professionalism I received at MediVet Kensington is second to none. I am deeply grateful for every single person I encountered there. A heartfelt thank you to Katie and VK in particular for their compassion, their calm in the chaos, and their genuine love for animals. You made an incredibly difficult experience much more bearable. Thank you so much.

Me & my kitty, Eevee, always feel so well taken care of here! The staff are really friendly & helpful, you can tell they genuinely love the animals. 💞 We always ask for Jia if she is around as she is so gentle with Eevee and so friendly & lovely to chat to, always addresses my concerns and explains what I need to know really well. We continue to come back to this branch even though we have moved a few stops down the road to West Brompton now.

Charlie had a nasty slice of his front pad which took rebandaging every 3 days. He got very talented at tearing his bandage off so we were back and forth to Medivet frequently. Everyone was so accommodating fitting us into the busy schedule. We were provided regular pictures of the healing process and a few of the emergency rebandagings were on the house which was greatly appreciated. We saw a number of the vets and they were all wonderful; Dr. Clarissa deserves special recognition

-- Absolute lifesavers - I wish I could give more stars -- After my dog had a terrible accident, I rushed her here. From the moment we arrived, the team responded with urgency and compassion. Although my dog appeared stable, the vet identified internal bleeding and recommended immediate surgery. They removed her spleen, stitched her liver, and saved her life within hours. The vet was honest about the risks but reassuring, which meant everything on one of the scariest days of my life. Thanks to their skill & care, my dog made it through! They were just as thoughtful financially - provided a clear estimate before the surgery and offered options to help make things managable. During my dog's two-night recovery at the clinic, they continuously kept me updated, let me visit, and even sent the sweetest Easter photos! Because of this incredible team, I still have my baby - and I'll forever be grateful! Special thanks to Dr. Clarisse, Kate, and Klaudia xx

  • BOAS Surgery

    BOAS, brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, is a cause of upper airway obstruction in brachycephalic breeds. The most commonly affected dogs tend to be the smaller short-nose breeds, such as Pugs, French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs and Boston Terriers. Signs to look out for include exercise intolerance, gagging and loud noisy breathing. BOAS surgery is routinely performed at Medivet Kensington by our surgeon, VK and aided by nurses who have undertaken additional training in anaesthesia.

    Book an appointment with any of the vets to discuss whether your dog would benefit from the procedure.

  • Laparoscopic neutering

    Laparoscopic neutering (key hole spay) involves making 2 small incisions to remove the ovaries. There are many studies showing significantly improved recovery times for dogs, with up to 65% less post operative pain. Peter and Tom routinely perform this surgery on Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays at the Kensington practice.

  • Nutrition Consult

    At Medivet Kensington we offer full nutritional assessments for cats and dogs, all
    ages and conditions. These clinics are run by one of our registered nurses who
    completed her nursing certificate in small animal nutrition in 2023.
    The initial consultation will last about 30 minutes. Follow up appointments are booked every 2-4 weeks depending on the case until the patient is stable or ideal weight is reached.
    For more information please ask at reception.
