    Andre Hess is an excellent vet. He always listens carefully to any concerns, has a very kind and compassionate manner, genuinely cares and shows affection towards our dog and takes the time to explain everything fully and clearly with any issues. I thoroughly appreciate his professionalism and highly recommend him.

    Absolutely wonderful veterinary surgery. Most caring, understanding and knowledgable, delivering efficient, effective and well thought out veterinary plans in an empathetic manner. Thank you Mr Hess. Providing outstanding, excellent and knowledgable veterinary services. With a focus on Danny dog’s overall well-being, as an elderly dog who has benefitted from ten years of consultations.

    Animalism Vets are truly exceptional a vet who genuinely cares more about the animals than the money. They are one of the kindest, most caring, and understanding vets you could ever take your dog to. My dog is registered at multiple vets, as I like to shop around for the best prices when it comes to check ups I sometimes manage to get my hands on vouchers for £10 check ups etc since I don’t have a lot of money. Thankfully, my dog is very healthy and rarely needs to see a vet maybe once every couple of years. But whenever I do take her to Animalism, I know she is in the best hands possible I take her to animalise as opposed to other vets when she has a genuine health concern as I know the vets at animalise will treat her like their own pet and they put my mind at ease. They treat every animal with compassion and patience, and makes both the pets and their owners feel completely at ease. Out of all the vets I’ve known, they are the most genuine, kind, and caring. I always leave feeling reassured that my dog Rose is well looked after. I cannot recommend them highly enough they truly goes above and beyond for the animals they care for.

    Could not recommend this veterinary surgery highly enough. They’ve always been kind and caring looking after my much loved cat over the years. When he was sick they really pulled out all the stops to give him the best treatment and care. Today sadly at 17 years old, he had to be put to sleep and again the team at Animalism were fantastic not just with my pet but with his blubbering mum! If you have a much loved pet I’d encourage you to use Animalism. Special thanks to Claire xx

    Took the cat with some ear problems. Was dealt with brilliantly by the super friendly and efficient team. They managed the medicine so it didn’t cost too much (advised to go back next day when a smaller version that we need would be available). We mentioned that we are looking into getting a dog and the vet provided us with a fact sheet they had authored, which across 2 pages of printed A4 paper, I learned the most valuable lessons as a dog novice. I’ll include here because this is great advice that everyone should see. What a brilliant practice and amazing people! Thank you.
