If you have a small animal , I would not recommend Charnwood. I felt the vets had little interest in or knowledge of guinea pig conditions. I felt I was an inconvenience and that they were busy with other animals and I would just be fitted in. Before I went for a second opinion I had spent nearly £300. The information and diagnosis turned out to be inaccurate. This led to a delay in appropriate treatment, and would have added to my guineas suffering. Do your research. There is a vet in Lockerbie Ark who has a special interest in small animals. She treated my girl with kindness and compassion.
