About Specialist Vets in Worthing
Specialized services can enhance comprehensive pet care.
While Worthing's veterinary clinics offer a range of routine services, none are involved in veterinary nurse training or have a strong online presence, which can limit the availability of specialized information and training opportunities for pet owners and professionals. The focus remains on providing quality routine care, but the absence of specialized training and digital resources may affect the breadth of services offered in the long term.
There are 10 veterinary clinics listed for specialist vets in Worthing.

Northdale Veterinary Practice Ltd is a small-animal clinic (cats and dogs are specifically mentioned in reviews) with a large Google review footprint (4.6★ from 511 reviews). Recent reviews describe the team handling both urgent appointments (“squeezing” in a poorly cat) and end-of-life care, including gestures such as sending a condolence card and seeds after a cat was put to sleep. One recent detailed negative review alleges serious problems around a dog’s lump assessment and post-operative wound management, plus a dispute involving what was reported to the insurer—so experiences appear mixed depending on case and outcome.

Grove Lodge Veterinary Group is described in recent reviews as providing routine care (including annual vaccinations) as well as short-notice work-ups for suddenly unwell pets. Experiences in the latest reviews are mixed: one owner reports clear explanations of treatment options and costs upfront (“no hidden surprises”), while several others describe the opposite—poor communication, unclear diagnostic plans, and feeling the practice prioritised fees over care. One detailed review reports being charged £2,500 within 24 hours for an illness episode and also says that, despite “24-hour animal hospital” messaging, out-of-hours care was handled by Vets Now (a separate team), which they found frustrating.

Vets Now Worthing is a Vets Now out-of-hours emergency and critical care clinic (opened in 2021) that operates from within Grove Lodge Vets, and is listed as an RCVS accredited Small Animal Emergency Service Clinic (ESC). The clinic is set up for urgent cases in dogs, cats and small animals, with on-site equipment including X‑ray, ultrasound, ECG, an in-house lab and an isolation unit. The website states emergency cases can be seen without an appointment; recent reviews reflect both sides of that experience—some owners describe being seen quickly and getting effective treatment (for example, an injection after an exam with improvement by the next morning), while others report serious concerns about care, including one account of being given opioids instead of antibiotics and another alleging major failings after surgery.
