Straiton Vets - Penkridge

My two littie ladies (Cockapoo 15 years on 4 August, and Cavapoo (Rescue who was 9 on 25 March) are treated with such care and kindness. All of the staff at Straiton Vets greet all of us with a smile and a kind word. The care my two dogs get is second to none and nothing is too much trouble.

We have found Straiton's to be very high caliber and on reading these reviews its clear they have many great vets. We always see Ed who is extremely helpful and has been incredible with our three dogs, we wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you Ed. ;-)

I can’t recommend E C Straiton & Partners LTD in Penkridge highly enough. We’ve recently moved house, and they are without a doubt the best vets I’ve come across. Jessica and the reception staff were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Jessica was incredibly patient and took such great care with Baloo, who is usually terrified of visiting the vets. She really listened to my concerns, took them seriously, and handled him so gently and calmly that it made a world of difference. The reception team were just as kind and welcoming, which helped put us both at ease straight away. It’s clear that everyone there genuinely cares about the animals they look after. Thank you all for your compassion, kindness, and professionalism — we’re so grateful 🐾

We've taken all our dogs to Penkridge for a few years now. The vets are super friendly & informative. The front desk are also helpful & friendly. There can sometimes be a long wait, obviously they arent always going to have a quick appointment before you. And this is where there quality time & professionalism shows for each client. We see the nurses too, who again are all lovely & show genuine interest in your pet. Our only downside, the fees are not always consistent. We get medication can go up, prior communication would be nice. And sometimes we are charged consultation fees for regular appointments & sometimes we arent. It needs to be consistent because you end up questioning your invoice. On the whole, I always recommend

Our dog (Roo, Hungarian wire-haired Vizsla) had peritonitis and ileus. Prior surgery a few days had re-sectioned the small intestine, but there was necrosed tissue either side of the re-section (an accepted risk of the surgery). Ollie conducted a lengthy surgery of jejunal resection and end to end anastomosis. This was a complex and delicate surgery. Afterwards Roo is such an anxious dog that inpatient care was not viable. Ollie talked us through nursing Roo at home, was on hand whenever we needed advice, arranged a vet partner to come and visit two nights in a row (amazing dedication), prescribed creatively to support and manage Roo, and when we didn't think Roo would make it Ollie counselled and steadied us. A more complete, supportive, competent and skilled service we could not have found. Amazing. Roo is a very anxious dog, and by any standard impossible to manage in an inpatient setting after surgery. He can't be crated as he'll destroy the crate and himself. Ollie was able to support nurses with the management of Roo immediately post-surgery, cultivate a relationship with Roo, and was able to manage Roo in an open clinic for aftercare, which is an achievement in itself.

We are very lucky to have such caring vets and amazing nurses at Straiton and Partners. My little dog has had IVDD and we have received absolute solid expertise from everyone concerned . John and Craig have really shown interest and genuine care for Lulu . Jessica the nurse is just so knowledgeable and Intuitive. She has provided laser and physio to a very high standard . Without the original care from this vet’s our dog would have died . We are indebted to you all . Thank you Vivienne and Andrew Tongue and LuLu
