Phoned first thing in the morning for an appointment for our cat Lottie who was under the weather. Got a reassuring voice on the phone and an appointment a few hours later with Emma. Friendly and caring, put our minds at rest and hopefully Lottie is now on the mend. Thank you.

Fantastic independently owned vets whose focus is 100% on animal welfare. Our Labrador had a tumour on her leg, we saw Emma the vet who was excellent and very helpful. Andrew the vet operated, and did have some problems afterwards, I phoned at 5:30 am I was called back within 15 minutes by Andrew who arranged to see our dog promptly. They are very professional and caring vets, and although our dog is nervous the receptionist and nurses did everything to make her calm, and very much knew what they were doing. Outstanding service and highly recommended.

I’m so grateful to Chris and his team for the care and support they gave to Torr and me. From emergencies to regular check-ins, they were always there. When it came time to say goodbye, they made sure it was done with such dignity and peace. Thank you, truly, for everything

Couldn’t be more grateful for this practice’s help. Our dog had an emergency while vacationing in Dartmoor and Chris didn’t hesitate to bring us in right away for a much needed consult. It was clear our pet received extremely competent and compassionate care. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us.
