Little mix up with dates but quick to move things around and squeeze us in. Great place. Peter is a great asset to the team. Always great with our dogs. Best vets we have ever used.

If you value thorough veterinary care, I would not place your pet in the hands of this practice. I trusted this practice with my dog’s life, and that trust was misplaced. I took my dog to this practice after mammary lumps suddenly appeared. Despite my concerns, the examination was extremely brief and dismissive. I was told she was “fine” and that the lumps were most likely hormonal and related to her coming into season in the following months. No proper examination, diagnostic tests, biopsies, or follow-up plan were offered. Months later, after her season, the lumps were still present. I sought a second opinion from another veterinary practice. They carried out a thorough examination, immediately identified the lumps as suspicious, and performed biopsies without delay. These confirmed they were cancerous. My dog has since passed away. The fact that a serious and ultimately fatal condition was dismissed at this practice is devastating. I will always live with the pain of knowing that her cancer was not taken seriously when it first presented and that earlier investigation may have changed the outcome. Based on my experience, I have no confidence in this veterinary practice. I would strongly urge anyone whose concerns are minimised or dismissed here to seek a second opinion immediately.

Unfortunately Luke (the vet) had to tell me my Senegal Parrot had passed away. He was considerate, empathetic, respectful & totally professional throughout. I thank him for his support & kindness. The practice then sent me a hand written, condolence card a week afterwards - a gesture I really appreciated.

I am preparing to take my mother's cat back to Denmark to live with me. This first round of treatment was efficient, professional and friendly. The recommendation to help with Cleo's relocation was a very kind offer. Thank you all😺
