Moorgate Veterinary Group – Vets in Exeter

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Moorgate Veterinary Group describes itself as a mixed practice (small animals plus farm and equine work) with a long history (over 50 years) and RCVS listed on its site. The website states it runs its own out‑of‑hours service 24/7/365. In the latest reviews available, owners mention both end‑of‑life support for an elderly pony (handled “quickly and calmly”) and out‑of‑hours advice/treatment for a dog with vomiting and diarrhoea; one reviewer also alleges the practice focused on selling products with inflated mark‑ups and “no customer service,” so experiences appear mixed on value and service style.
