  Wouldn't rate these vets at all if i could give zero stars i would been loyal clients for years with these vets they miss diagnosed our other dog who is now dead as they didn't pick up on her deteriorating we were fobbed off for weeks back and forth from the vets we saw 4 vets saw Barbara Hambley twice who is the practice manager none of these vets took a blood test from my dog who has addison's she was only 1 of 3 dogs in the practice who had addison's disease so they knew her case she had been under them for years for her addisons we were offered a ct scan as she had back pain but we weren't told at any point that a dog who has addison's is at much higher risk due to the anesthetic which can cause the addison's to flair up before they come at me and say that's not true I can assure it is as im currently learning to be a vet nurse and my tutor is a qualified vet nurse not 1 of these vets who we saw actually checked her potassium and sodium levels due to her back problems which made her addisons flair up i mentioned in one consultation with the vet who is the practice manager that our dog hadn't been eating or drinking for 5 days thoes are classic addisons symptoms not once did any vet check my dogs blood levels and we saw 3 different vets we then took our dog to armac vets in bury who were lovely i will add they had to pick up the pieces from vets for pets Oldham due to their neglect I put a complaint in to vets for pets Oldham which was ignored and brushed under the carpet i did try raising my concerns with the practice but was fobbed off when we took our dog to armac the vet said she had gone into an addisons crisis this won't have happened overnight we were at vets for pets Oldham for weeks on end and it could have been picked up then before it was to late hope they are happy with themselves as they were a massive reason why my assistance dog Mika is now dead she was only 9 years old and should have had years of life left to live we have moved vets now who actually give a toss about animals and give people the time of day my advice is don't go to this vets they will ruin your life as they did with mine im still so angry as Mika only died on the 6th of July I've now taken it further your husband greg of 25 years was downright nasty to me via a nasty phoncall when I originally put the review up i also have a witness who heard him being nasty as my phone was on loud speaker when the witness was in the room when the phoncall was taking place why would you ring a grieving family to have a go at them is beyond me absolutely disgusting making horrific accusations that we didn't look after mika and that we didn't bring her in for appointments when we clearly did i don't know what combined effort you saw you made no effort to save her I asked you in an appointment to check her burst eardrum which you then refused to look at I had a witness with me in that appointment who also heard you refuse to look at her ear I also said she hadn't eaten or drank anything for 4 days why you didn't check her potassium and sodium levels I don't know you don't need to be a vet to know thoes are classic addison crisis symptoms also greg Barbara's husband who is one of the receptionists tried saying that the last time we brought Mika in was the 20th of June this wasn't true he had lied about that and her medical records back that up she was seen on the 2nd of July by Barbara which is stated on her medical records along with me stating she hadn't been eating or drinking no effort was made to save her and mika was off her back legs on the second of July this was the same appointment I stated to Barbara that Mika hadn't drank anything for days and hadn't eaten for 4 days except for 4 biscuits and still no effort to check her Addisons disease if that is your view of what highest vet care looks like it wasn't good enough because of you my assistance dog is dead shame on you and I seriously think you should read Mikas article in the oldham times as it clearly states the addison's should have been checked alongside any other injurys

  I’ve been with vets for pets Oldham a year and today I changed vets. I can’t fault the lady on reception she was lovely, but the vet was what made me leave. A lady called Barbara the vet was not from the UK, I am only stating that as there are two vets with the same name at this practice. Her attitude was not what i expect from a vet, she was not friendly or caring all she wanted to do was sell sell sell. Offering me things that I do not need, but clearly she’s trying to get revenue. She moand because my dog licked her. I’ve never had this from a vet. I will not be returning she made me feel very uncomfortable.

  This is such a wonderful vets- my animals have been with Barbara and Patrick for many years and they have provided the utmost care and attention to detail when treating them. The service is run with a high standard of efficiency and professionalism and feels like the staff do really care, it's like home from home. A huge thank you to you all and you deserve all the stars in the world ❤️

  Absolutely brilliant vets. I have been using for five years now. They are very helpful and not just after money. All the staff are brilliant.
