Folly Gardens Vets - Bishops Cleeve

A Poem for Folly Gardens (From Shadow and Mike Meszaros): We walked through your doors with a heart full of care, I brought my Shadow of worry there. His barks in the car and his spirit so high, I worried that calmness had said 'goodbye'. I’ve spoken of nips and of moments of stress, Of feelings of failure and life in a mess. But never a judgment or look of disdain, You listened with patience, and I have hope again. When I asked for a path that felt different and new, You didn't just hear me—you saw my point of view. From the front desk greetings to the vet’s kind hand, You’re the steadiest team in this Gloucestershire land. You believed in my words and the plan that we made, Helping the fears of an owner to fade. So thank you for kindness that’s honest and true, For helping my Shadow—and helping me, too.

Very kind staff, wonderful treatment of our cat who can be nervous around new people. Highly recommended.

Clean and welcoming environment with super friendly staff. Great care and great service definitely a safe place to look after our furry friends 😁

Great people that take care of all needs pet related. The lady I work for has a kitty cat that is a patient with Folly Gardens in Bishops Cleeve. They have wheelchair access in the back and are very accessible and accommodating for these needs. Reasonably priced and excellent pet plans for pet health checks and operations alike. All around a great place to take sick or injured pets.

After nearly twenty years with Folly and great treatment for our two dogs, we had a bad experience. Our JRT went in for his nails to be clipped and a dew claw looked at. Firstly the receptionist wrote down the wrong weight for the dog, which I thankfully corrected as he has sedation, and the wrong weight recorded could mean too much or too little sedation given. Not a good start. He usually has a muzzle on until he is sedated. This time they left the muzzle on even after he was sedated and even when he was recovering. When I went to pick him up nearly 3 hours after dropping him off the muzzle was still on and he looked distressed. I questioned if the muzzle had been on the entire time, I was told yes. The very second I took it off he projectile vomited twice, which meant he had wanted to be sick for quite a while as some dogs do after sedation, but he couldn’t because the muzzle was still on. He could have choked on his vomit. He was later sick another two times that day. He could also not have been offered or had anything to drink whilst recovering as the muzzle was not removed. We have had this treatment done several times and the muzzle has always been taken off as soon as they are sedated. This will do nothing to help him at future visits to the vets. We have sadly heard more negative reports about Folly, and I seems to be since selling out to a larger corporate company. We are now considering if we want our dog to remain going to Folly !

Jim loves going to the vets! Truly amazing team at Bishops Cleeve! Thank you for such a great service ! Love from Jim❤️

My first impressions of Flooy Gardens Veterinary is a well run, polite and professionally run place. Both the receptionist and vet were polite, helpful and attentive to my kitten's needs. I was able to make an appointment, for a routine checkup, quickly. Everything was well explained to me and I felt reassured that my kittens were being well treated.
