There are 79 veterinary clinics in Cambridgeshire, with an average Google rating of 4.6★. 71 clinics treat dogs and cats. 9 offer farm or large-animal services. 20 offer emergency or out-of-hours care. 24-hour cover is not explicitly confirmed anywhere in the county data, so emergency listings should be checked directly with the provider for hours and handover arrangements.

Cambridgeshire has 16 towns covered in the directory. A sample of towns includes Cambridge, Ely, St. Ives, Huntingdon, Wisbech, St. Neots, March, and Chatteris. Availability and the service mix can vary by town within the county, particularly for emergency access and non-companion-animal work.

What services are available across the county

Routine veterinary care for common companion animals is widely represented, supported by 14,368 total reviews across the county and websites listed for all 79 clinics. In addition to routine consultations, vaccination and preventive care, the county includes practices offering surgery and advanced procedures, diagnostics (including imaging and in-house testing), dental services, and emergency treatment pathways. There is also a meaningful training footprint: 51 clinics are listed as veterinary nurse training facilities, which is a substantial portion of local provision.

Emergency or out-of-hours clinics vs routine-only providers

A total of 20 clinics list emergency or out-of-hours services, while 59 do not list emergency provision in the county data. For pet owners, this affects what happens when an urgent problem occurs outside normal appointment times: clinics that list emergency access may be a more direct route for same-day assessment, whereas routine-only providers may rely on referrals or separate out-of-hours arrangements. If continuity of care matters (for example, follow-up after an urgent visit), it is worth confirming how records and treatment plans are shared between daytime appointments and any external emergency provider.

Veterinary nurse training practices vs non-training practices

Cambridgeshire has 51 clinics involved in veterinary nurse training and 28 that are not listed as training providers. For owners, training practices can indicate a structured clinical environment with defined processes for supervision, patient handling, and nurse-led support (such as post-op checks or weight support), alongside vet-led diagnosis and treatment. If you prefer a smaller team setting or want to minimise how many staff interact with your pet during visits, it is still practical to ask how consultations, inpatient care, and handovers are managed regardless of training status.

The role of routine-focused and mid-ranked clinics

Across the county, many clinics primarily underpin everyday access: preventive care, ongoing condition monitoring, non-urgent illness, and standard follow-up appointments. These providers are often the most relevant choice for owners who prioritise proximity, appointment availability, and consistent day-to-day continuity over specialist or emergency capability. They also act as the starting point for referrals when a case needs advanced diagnostics, complex surgery, or species-specific expertise.

Key services are concentrated among a smaller number of providers (notably emergency/out-of-hours and farm/equine work), while routine small-animal care is widely distributed.

Animal focus in Cambridgeshire

The county is primarily companion-animal led: 71 clinics are listed as dog and cat / small-animal providers. Alongside this, 9 clinics provide farm animal services and 8 provide equine services, and 27 are listed as specialist / exotic clinics, which may be relevant if you need care beyond standard dog-and-cat provision.

In summary, vets in Cambridgeshire are numerous and generally well-reviewed, with broad routine coverage and more limited distribution of emergency and large-animal services—use the ranked clinic list above to select the best match for your pet’s needs and your preferred access to urgent care.
