Bridge Veterinary Group / MiNightVet Middlesborough is a purpose-built veterinary hospital established in 1986 and accredited as an RCVS Veterinary Hospital. It is part of CVS (as indicated by the cvsvets.com website and email domain). The practice runs a 24-hour emergency service with MiNightVet on-site and dedicated night staff.

Based on the website and recent reviews, the clinic appears set up for both routine care and complex cases: owners mention emergency treatment overnight, surgery (including tendon repair and lump removals), and end-of-life support (including returning ashes in a presentation box with a “certified stamp of authenticity”). Reviews are mixed: several describe thorough explanations and calm support during euthanasia decisions, while others describe high costs/financial pressure and one alleges poor post-op supervision leading to injury.

Named individuals mentioned by reviewers

  • Claire (vet) – one long-term client says Claire was “particularly good” with their dog through repeated surgeries (lump removals) and appreciated the consistent approach.
  • Trish (receptionist) – repeatedly praised by one reviewer for recognising them and being friendly and calm, including recognising their voice on the phone.
  • Marissa (role not specified in the review) – thanked alongside the on-duty vet during an overnight emergency; the owner also noted the hospital was “spotlessly clean.”

Reviews

Google rating: 4.1 stars from 320 reviews. “”

  • Emergency and urgent care experiences vary: some owners describe being seen immediately in serious emergencies (including overnight), while a 1-star review describes a pet being left alone after surgery long enough to injure themselves.
  • End-of-life care is frequently mentioned: multiple reviewers describe being given time, not feeling rushed, and having frank discussions about quality of life; one mentions ashes returned in a box with a “certified stamp of authenticity.”
  • Communication and handover can be a strength: one owner described a vet nurse who explained post-procedure care in detail and seemed to know the case thoroughly.
  • Cost and perceived financial pressure are a major point of conflict: several 1-star reviews cite high fees (including out-of-hours charges and large upfront payments) and describe feeling pushed toward euthanasia unless significant funds were paid immediately, while other reviews focus on outcomes and support rather than price.
