St Elmo Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice established in 2010, offering routine care alongside surgery and in-house diagnostics (including an in-house lab, ultrasound and X‑ray). It also offers out-of-hours support via a shared on-call rota with five practices, with free telephone advice and emergency consultations if needed.

From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention calm handling during appointments (including for anxious dogs during vaccinations) and helpful front-desk guidance (for example, explaining insurance and health-cover options). However, one reviewer describes a dismissive manner from a vet during an appointment, and another describes a particularly negative out-of-hours phone interaction involving a high-cost surgery estimate and a statement about payment/euthanasia—so experiences appear mixed depending on the interaction and context.

Concrete specifics mentioned across sources include

  • Vaccinations given with a “thorough” check-up in the same visit (review).
  • Support for nervous/anxious dogs to reduce stress during exams and injections (review).
  • Out-of-hours care described as a shared rota with free phone advice (website).
  • In-house diagnostic capability (in-house lab, ultrasound, X‑ray) (website).

Smith & Brown has limited detail available beyond a small set of older Google reviews. What owners do mention is consistently about the experience of the visit rather than specific treatments: “very friendly service” is repeated, and one reviewer says their dogs are “always well looked after”.
