  Best vets I have ever been to in over 40 years. Really care about the animals and so helpful.

  Really good vets aren't just after your money. Care for your animals and put them first. I have bulldogs hard to find a vet that understands them. I'd highly recommend this practice the best in the area.

  Extremely disappointed with my experience. I took my miniature dachshund in for a health check and to have a new mass on her nipple examined. I wasn’t sure if it was a cyst or something more serious, so I wanted proper guidance. My mum brought her in for me as I was running late, and while she was trying to explain my dog’s medical history, the vet was rude, kept interrupting, and even made an unnecessary comment along the lines of, “Well, if you had cancer, I couldn’t tell just by looking at you.” Completely unprofessional. My dog was then taken inside while we were left waiting outside under a shelter. When she was brought back, we were simply told she needed surgery next week—no explanation, no discussion of what it could be, no pros or cons, nothing. We were expected to speak through a window instead of having a proper conversation. Overall, the whole experience left me with zero confidence. I’ve only been registered for a week and will definitely be moving my pets elsewhere.

  Unfortunately after years of singing this places' praises I can no longer do so and no longer recommend it. A family dog was recently checked over due to weight loss (3 years old) got told at the appointment she seemed fine couldn't find anything abnormal. 1 week later the dog suddenly with no warning dropped down dead. Recently contacted for my own dog who was having an issue with sore skin, I was met on the end of the phone with a very rude Janice Dixon who kept interrupting me when I was talking, did not offer any advice and the first thing she said was "ok so do you want to leave it then" if I wanted to leave it I wouldn't have rang in the first place would I. My expectations were a chat about his symptoms, duration he has had it, anything from her own experience from years of treatment, things to try at home but no mention of any of it. I got the impression all she wanted was to get an appointment booked in and to get off the phone which is completely fine if that is determined as the best outcome. If I'm going to trust you with my dog there needs to be a degree of kindness, compassion and general friendly telephone manner. If you can't be nice to me why would I think you're going to be nice to my dogs? Especially when not able to be in the same room as them. I feel it is worth noting that after making the appointment then changing my mind I rang back and spoke to a different person who was lovely however because there is a chance of an appointment with Janice then my dogs will be going to a different vet. Turns out my dog was deficient in Zinc which was found out quickly through questions and answers.

  The vet was very efficient. They were actually the cheapest bet for this procedure. We rang several vets. They dealt with the procedure we needed and an additional procedure. Actually they did give us a little reduced price because she was already going in for something so we had two procedures done at the same time thank you very much for the after-care and we’ll be looking forward to Rosie‘s next set of health checks. Many thanks.
