Been meaning to write this for ages, Gillivervets were fantastic with my mare in the summer. Nothing was too much trouble and Bryony in particular was fab at putting my mind at ease. Highly recommend 👌🏼

I have been with Gillivers for 20 years and have had all of my horses registered with them. They have always been brilliant with my 3, very different, horses and have been empathetic and kind with all of them. During this time I have sadly lost 2 of them to very different, and one very rare, illness and the vets at Gillivers couldn't have done for more for them. They also put on brilliant offers that help to make routine vet bills more affordable.

Gillivers have always been great with Eddie and Clover - they are reliable and have done a good job with managing Eddie's difficult/wonky teeth. They are easy to speak with and discuss options. John spent a long time calmly extracting one of Eddie's baby teeth that was causing problems - which meant it could be sorted out at home.

Have been with Gillivervet for roughly 13years which says it all. All staff are caring, understanding and patient. They work well with me and have done so much for me to keep my horses for a long as possible, whether it be for injury, illnesses or aging. I had one of our 25yr old ponies pts last week and I could not have asked for better care. Thank you
