Ryder-Davies & Partners Veterinary Ltd – Vets in Ipswich

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Ryder-Davies & Partners Veterinary Ltd is a general veterinary practice (ownership/group not stated in the available information) that, based on recent client accounts, handles both routine care and more intensive treatments. Owners mention being able to get quick answers via WhatsApp and a “Pets App,” and one review highlights free aftercare following surgery. Clinical care described in reviews ranges from soft-tissue surgery to hospital-type support (IV drip and a blood transfusion), as well as ongoing management of age-related conditions in an elderly dog. Recent feedback is mostly very positive, though one owner also describes a difficult experience around not getting answers for their dog’s illness and deciding to stop using vets after their pet died.

Services

Services and capabilities mentioned in the latest written reviews include

  • Surgery (one owner describes a vet-performed surgery with “free aftercare” afterwards)
  • Supportive/critical care treatment: being “put onto a drip” and receiving a blood transfusion
  • Ongoing care for senior pets: treatment plans tailored for “elderly dog” ailments, with discussion of owner concerns
  • Remote communication: “fast responses” to questions via WhatsApp
  • App-based admin/queries: questions handled through a Pets App, and help obtaining appointments at short notice (as described by one owner)

People

  • Tim (vet): Mentioned by name in one review as the vet who recommended care and performed surgery, with the owner specifically calling out the post-op “free aftercare.”
  • Dr Tim Gamston: Credited with ongoing management of an elderly dog’s multiple issues, described as tailoring treatment and addressing the owner’s concerns with patience.
  • Reception/admin team (names not given): Noted for being responsive via the Pets App, helping secure short-notice appointments, and offering reassurance (a receptionist’s “We will see you soon” after a drop-off for surgery is specifically mentioned).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 40 reviews. “”

  • Communication outside appointments comes up repeatedly: quick replies on WhatsApp, and admin responses via a Pets App.
  • Serious illness care is described in one case (IV drip and blood transfusion), with the dog recovering enough to return home after several days.
  • Surgery experience + aftercare: one owner highlights a successful operation and specifically mentions free aftercare.
  • Mixed experiences around difficult outcomes: one owner describes prior frustration about not finding out what was wrong with their dog and, after their dog died, says they won’t engage with vets again—contrasting with other owners reporting strong support and treatment planning.
