Chandlers Ford Vets - Chandlers Ford

We changed to this Surgery 5yrs ago, all the staff are excellent and we met the most wonderful pragmatic vet who started our dog on painkillers/anti inflammatory for arthritis. When he retired her care was mainly provided by marvellous Joe Gosling who guided us through managing this and other various health issues. Sadly one day this July she suddenly went downhill and we had to make the decision to say goodbye. Everyone on duty that evening was so understanding and supportive and we have no hesitation in recommending this vet practice for the care of your pets.

This veterinary surgery has always been wonderful to deal with and have taken great care of multiple pets of ours. We have just rehomed a couple of kittens and we dealt with an incredibly lovely, helpful person on the phone this morning to get the ball rolling with what they need. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

An extremely friendly and compassionate team here, instantly made me and my little snake feel comforted. Kind, supportive appointment, plenty time for questions and clear advice. Very thankful to have their care!

Great service today x-raying my dog. Explained what was happening before and after. Discussed our options clearly with us. We felt reassured that the Nurse was giving him all the attention that he needed whilst he was coming around from the anaesthetic. We knew our boy was in good, loving hands today

Very friendly reception and very easy and quick to book. Only thing was the actual vet at the appointment clearly wanted to leave that day.

My cat ate chives. I went to the vet to get a shot for vomiting. They said it was pointless because the cat had been eating it for three days. I'm still worried if I did the right thing by just agreeing to this. Another thing I had the impression was that they were doing everything they could to save them as much money as possible. The vet checked my cat's temperature, and it was around 40 degrees Celsius. My cat was lying in the sun, stressed by the visit because he's an indoor cat. The vet came with two syringes without informing me of their cost. Such things should be negotiated in advance. I refused one injection, but she felt the second was necessary. I think a vet is overrated in England. In Poland, I'd pay a maximum of £60 for all things + they all make sure that there is not any toxic in my cat stomach. Haematology- £160 Consultation-£65 Blood sample fee-£27.50 Metacam 2mg/ml- £18.06 The ladies working at the front desk were very helpful and kind. They were more animal-friendly than the vet who treated my cat.

I was shocked at how casually euthanasia was raised by this practice. The pet in question had shown only minor behavioural issues — no severe injuries, no history of aggression — and putting the animal to sleep was considered. No behavioural support was proposed. That is deeply unethical and does not indicate that they value animal life. A vet should explore every avenue before entertaining the possibility of ending a healthy animal’s life: referral to a qualified clinical animal behaviourist, and practical management strategies in the home, and pharmacological interventions should have been exhausted first. I recommend avoiding this practice completely. But should you use it, if you find euthanasia being considered as a possible option without a plan for medical assessment, behaviourist referral, and risk management, I strongly advise ending the conversation immediately.
