Keyhole spays at The Grove Vets:
We have a well-earned reputation as the vets to go to if you would like your dog neutered using keyhole techniques.
Our vet Andy is a surgical certificate holder and has been performing laparoscopic techniques for over a decade, perfecting his technique over this time. We provide this service to our clients but we also take referrals from neighbouring veterinary clinics.
Because of the specialist equipment we posses we can provide keyhole spays to dogs weighing as little as 5kg (although, weight is a guide not a rule as the limiting factor is space in the abdomen rather than the weight of the dog.)
We also offer traditional dog and cat spays at a very reasonable price and do not have a long waiting list (currently around 2 weeks)
Get in touch if interested on 0117 252 0545 or email [email protected]
The Grove Vets is 3 years old!!
Here at the Grove Vets there are a few things that set us apart.
Our nursing team is second to none, helping put your pets at ease and making our clients feel welcome from the moment you step through the door.
We actively encourage you to see the same vet each time you visit and do everything we can to make that happen.
Our appointment times are 20mins long, giving us plenty of time to listen to you, examine your pet and discuss a way forward.
Finally, our whole team are extremely experienced (Vets and Nurses alike!). We each have our own specific interests that generally cover most bases (from Advanced surgery to complicated medical cases, anaesthesia, dentistry, weight clinics and much more). We also have all the equipment needed to achieve a diagnosis. What this means is that most conditions can be solved in house without the need to send you to a big hospital.
We have opened up our books and are accepting new clients. So if you would like to know more please visit our website or give us a call to register.

Found cat:
Sadly we've had a deceased cat handed into us this morning. He is an entire male, black and white domestic short hair.
Found in Henleaze, The Crescent.
The cat doesn't have a microchip. If you think he may be yours, please contact us on 01172520545
Massive thank you to Aksha Ramaesh (Instagram) for our amazing lino prints. They really brighten up our reception. We hope you all enjoy them even half as much as we do! 🐾
To all of our lovely clients,
As a mark of respect for the funeral of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. We will be closed on Monday 19th September 2022.
We will be providing emergency cover for our patients until 6pm, at which point, our standard out-of-hours providers VetsNow, will take over the emergency care.
Kind regards,
Andy, Amy and the team at The Grove Vets
Huge congrats to Ella (Ella Grove BSc Hons, RVN) one of our registered veterinary nurses who finally got to celebrate her graduation from the University of Bristol. (Having completed her 4year degree over a year ago now!)
She has been such a fantastic addition to our team / family here at The Grove Vets and we are so happy she finally got to celebrate her huge accomplishment with her family and friends.
Andy and Amy are going on Holiday.
We are off on a well needed break for a week from Friday the 22nd July. We have a fantastic locum vet looking after the clinic for us along with our amazing team of nurses so you will be well looked after while we are away.
We will be away for a week, back for a week, then away for one more week this summer (from the 8th of August) ... after that it will be business as usual!
Thanks and we hope everyone has an amazing summer!
We are currently experiencing an issue with our phone system. We cannot receive calls.
If you need to contact us, please email [email protected]
We apologise for any inconvenience, thank you for bearing with us whilst our provider gets this sorted.

The Grove Vets is 2yrs Old!!!
We went back to our first ever little video and made a few changes to show our journey over the last couple of years. We hope you like it.
We really wanted to say a massive thank you to all our amazing and loyal clients and your lovely pets. We literally couldn't do this without you and we have to say it is genuinely a lovely feeling coming in to work.
Amy and I also wanted to say a massive thank you to our incredible team. Emily, Ella, Alice, Lottie and Saffie. You guys are absolutely awesome and we can't believe how lucky we are to have you.
We set out with an idea of what we wanted to be but not necessarily knowing how we were going to do it....2 years on with the support of our amazing team, bit by bit we are getting there.
Covid was certainly a challenge for all of us but we have now opened our doors to our clients and will continue to offer 20 min consultations as a standard (rather than shortening them to 15 mins like most other clinics). We want to maintain the relationships we have with our clients and patients and having the time to really listen to you and examine your pet is extremely important to us.
Anyway, that was a bit of a ramble.
Thankyou everyone
Andy and Amy

COVID UPDATE
Due to the increasing levels of transmission of the Omicron variant and the rise in Coronavirus cases we have made the difficult decision to no longer allow clients into the practice, other than exceptional circumstances.
Being a small, independent business, we are doing all that we can to ensure that we remain open.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you for your help and understanding as we navigate this next stage of the pandemic.
This is a video of Andy performing keyhole surgery to find and remove an undescended (cryptorchid) testicle.
Cryptorchid testicles have a high chance of developing cancer. It is therefore important to find and remove them. They could be hiding anywhere from the groin to high up in the abdomen by the kidney. Before keyhole surgery this may have meant a very large incision and an equally long recovery time. However using laparoscopy we can pinpoint where the testicle is, place a port directly over it, grasp it and remove it from a small incision.
This patient is now 3 days post op, his incisions look great and he is rearing to go. He will need restricted exercise for another 4 days, but all being well, after that, he can get back to his life as normal - long walks and playing with his mates.
A little update
We navigated the storm at the end of last week quite well. We should have increased staffing levels next week but we are still tight on appointments so please bear with us.
Andy and Amy made it to Malta! Finally taking some time off to go and see Andy's family. But please don't worry you are in extremely safe and experienced hands.
Emily our head nurse will be around co-ordinating and running the clinic.
Charlotte will be our vet next week (other than on Thursday). Charlotte has extensive experience in both first opinion and emergency veterinary care.
Leo will be covering the clinic on Thursday. Leo also has experience with emergency medicine and surgery and is currently studying towards a specialty in internal medicine.
They are both lovely and amazing vets that we know personally. This probably doesn't need saying (because our clients are the best), but please show them the same kindness and respect you show us.
Thanks so much for your continued patience and support. Things will be going back to normal soon enough!!
Kind regards,
Andy, Amy and the team.
Unfortunately, due to a member of staff testing positive for Covid 19 we will be working with a skeleton team for the rest of this week and all of next week.
We may need to contact you to rearrange appointments, particularly non urgent operations. We may also need to rely on neighbouring clinics to help with the workload.
Andy and Amy were due to be on holiday next week and therefore we have Veterinary cover in place, however we are significantly short on nurses.
Please bear with us.
Andy, Amy and the Team at the Grove Vets.
COVID UPDATE - MASK WEARING AFTER 19-07-2021
In anticipation of the new rule change coming into effect on Monday 19th July. Even though the legal restrictions relating to mask wearing are due to be lifted, we will still be requiring all clients to wear a mask if they enter our premises.
We are a small business and until all members of staff are double vaccinated and policies change with respect to in-contact isolation we cannot take any chances. Especially now that infection numbers in Bristol are as high as they have ever been.
We kindly ask that you please respect the following policies:
- On arrival please ring the doorbell and wait outside until you are greeted. (Please do not just walk in)
- Depending on how busy we are and what the weather is like you may be invited inside or we may ask you to wait outside.
- If invited inside, masks are mandatory and 2 meters of social distancing are to be maintained at all times.
- Given the increase in cases amongst children, any individual over the age of 1yo will be required to wear a mask if coming indoors. If this is not possible (which as parents ourselves we fully understand may not be) please be prepared to wait outside or in your car if you have brought a child with you.
- A maximum of 2 people per pet are to come to the clinic.
- No one will be allowed indoors if they have a cough, even if you have recently tested negative for Sars-Cov-2. This is to protect us from false negative tests (and also other viruses that are not Sars-Cov-2 that would force a member of staff to lose a day while we wait for test results ourselves).
Thank you for your help and understanding as we navigate this next step in our journey through this pandemic.
Kind regards,
Andy, Amy and the team at the Grove Vets.
Meet Marvin the Maine C**n who came to us last week for a demat of his long haired coat! Cat’s fur can get matted for a number of reasons, often because they can’t turn properly to groom themselves due to old age or joint issues such as arthritis. Severe matting can go on to cause severe itchiness, sores and infections so it’s really important to groom regularly with a brush like a ‘Furminator’ and book an appointment with your vet to safely remove the matts if they become unmanageable.
Update: We have found the owner of the missing cat we found yesterday. Thank you everybody for your help!
Hello, we have had a cat handed into us today that was found on Cairns Road in Henleaze. Please get in touch with us if you think you know who it belongs to by calling the practice on 0117 252 0545 or emailing [email protected]
Spay? What Spay?
Cat Neutering
Spay? What spay? Two tiny incisions and generally back to full exercise in 3 days.
Check out this adorable litter of 8 week old Cane Corso puppies who came to visit us last week for their first vaccinations and microchips! They’ll be going to their new owners in the next few weeks so hopefully we’ll see a few of them again soon.
To all our clients,
Our phone network has gone down temporarily. If you are experiencing an emergency and need to get in touch please message us on Facebook or email us.
Apologies for the inconvience.
The Grove Vets Team
Happy Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month! We are very lucky to have Emily our registered vet nurse and Alice our student vet nurse who are fundamental to the running of the practice. From administering medication to assisting in surgery, vet nurses are the backbone of a good veterinary practice and we couldn’t do it without them!
What a pleasure to have Rufus visit us this week for his booster vaccination. Rufus is 4 months old and is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. These beautiful dogs get their name from their habit of “dancing” on the shoreline, enticing curious ducks to come in for a closer look!
