  Dreadful experience this afternoon at this practice. I only took my cat for her flu booster but waited 20 minutes for the appointment time. The vet was rude and unapologetic for the wait i had with a very stressy cat, she obviously can't cope with differing situations saying she'd had an emergency and she 'wasn't having it'. To have had some communication would have been helpful from reception staff instead of nothing but the wait and i would have understood better. The set up at this surgery just isnt right. The reception area is too small, you can hear all the conversations about the animals issues including from consulting rooms, there should be more backup to cope with urgent issues as well as routine appointments, receptionists are miserable and unhelpful and i feel they just don't like cats. Whenever I go in there it's like a 🎪 circus with dogs everywhere, it's just very unprofessional. Sort something out that's better for everyone please hawkinge vets, or I will have to take my baby girl somewhere else in future. Dreading future visits.

  Yesterday, we had to part with our wonderful Maine Coon due to a terminal diagnosis. It was one of the hardest of things to do and I just want to say that the vet, Irina, could not have been more supportive or gentle in her delivery of bad news and support in decision making. The supremely sad process was made as easy as possible and I could not have asked for better help. Claire and all the other staff were also incredibly supportive, sympathetic and exactly as you want. Thank you very much Hawkinge Veterinary Practise

  My fur baby (cockapoo) Bee has been with this veterinary surgery since a pup and he is turning 6 this year. The staff are always welcoming and happy. The receptionist are helpful and chatty. Recently my dog suffered an acute illness, he is well now. The staff were amazing. The care and support for both my dog and me was incredible. Every staff member genuinely care and show such compassion to provide excellent care/treatment. They have exceptional communication skills and are experienced in accommodating care to suit our dogs needs. I can not thank you all enough for looking after myself and Bee. Highly recommend this vet to anyone, you will be well looked after.

  I was recommended this Vet surgery by a neighbour after I was complaining to them about the very high Vets bills for very minor issues from my regular Vets . So, I thought I'd try them. What a lovely team! First visit but welcomed by a very friendly and warm reception team. The vet was really thorough and listened carefully to my worries then treated my dog appropriately. The bill was very reasonable (much less than my previous vet would have charged) and I feel very confident in that team. I would certainly recommend them to other pet owners.

  Honestly love these vets, they've been amazing with all of my dogs. Only been with the practice for a year, but we've definitely been more times than we'd like. Best vets in the area by far, you don't feel overcharged for the quality of care, and all of the staff are amazing. Many thanks from Shorts and his entourage.
