Southfields Veterinary Specialists is a small-animal referral hospital (the website describes it as one of the largest and most diverse in Europe) with a large clinical team (“over 100” specialists, nurses and other professionals). Based on the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe advanced referral-level care—especially oncology (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) and complex surgery—alongside a busy inpatient setup (one dog described as admitted for over a week). The exotics service is also repeatedly mentioned, with multiple owners crediting “Dom/Dominic” and the exotics team for handling complex rabbit and ferret cases with long, detailed consultations and follow-up discussions of results.
