The Mewes Vets, Rottingdean – Vets in Brighton

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

The Mewes Vets offers routine veterinary care (consultations/diagnosis, vaccinations and microchipping, nurse clinics) as well as treatments and surgery, and it advertises a monthly pet care plan. For urgent problems outside of normal hours, the practice directs owners to an emergency referral service (PETS).

From the latest reviews, many owners describe calm, low-stress handling during appointments (including for nervous dogs and cats) and clear explanations during exams. Reviews also mention follow-up attention after a serious dental procedure. However, there is a sharply negative account of an at-home euthanasia handled by vet “Julia”, with the reviewer alleging difficulty placing a vein, distress during the process, and dissatisfaction with how the complaint was handled—this conflicts with multiple other reviews praising Julia’s care.

  • Julia / Dr. Julia (vet; title “Dr.” used in reviews)

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 44 reviews.

  • Aftercare following dentistry is specifically mentioned, with a reviewer noting attention to recovery after a serious dental procedure.
