Companion Care (Huntingdon) Ltd T/A Vets4Pets

Companion Care (Huntingdon) Ltd operates under the Vets4Pets name and is described on its website as a locally owned practice. It lists a wide in‑house diagnostics and surgical setup (including digital X‑ray, ultrasound, ECG/echo, and an operating theatre) and states that emergency cover is provided when the clinic is closed. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility, and one review mentions being seen with two students present during a kitten visit.

From the latest reviews, experiences are mixed: some owners describe clear explanations and supportive handling, including during euthanasia, while others raise concerns about fees, care-plan sales/advice, and a case where an owner felt they weren’t advised appropriately around vaccination after a cat bite/abscess.
