    We needed to access a vet whilst visiting family in the area for our 9 year old dog - our normal vets had given us an incorrect prescription for antibiotics for our dog who had been attacked a few days ago. The vet at Hawksdown could not have been more helpful, and we were able to get a prescription emailed which we then collected on a Saturday morning. Great to know this fantastic practice is here if we ever needed it in the future, and if we lived in the area we would happily have this as our regular surgery. Thank you!

    I would never take any of my animals anywhere else. John, the vet is wonderful and has cared brilliantly for Mabel,my rather complex cats needs for the past 3.6 years. He’s always at the end of a phone for reassurance and will see me quickly if it’s really necessary. I like the fact that he’s direct, with a good sense of humour and he’s never tried to sell me lots of expensive drugs and treatments. It’s a pleasure to see a proper ‘old school’ vet with years of experience who knows what’s what.

    I've been using this practice since they took over from Mr Tutt and Mr Evans and I'm thrilled I did! Over all these years, Mr Donnell and Mr Best have cared for 6 of my animals through general annual check ups to many different injuries and ailments, all with gentle and informative responses. They know that I will ask questions & they're happy to answer, even on the phone out of hours if necessary. A drug is not administered unless its needed & again it will be described in detail for me, regarding what the ingredients are, what they are expected to treat and possible side effects. . Its always clean, well organised, the dogs are happy to go in, which I think is probably the best testament! It isn't easy to find a vet who is both very knowledgeable and good with owners too but Mr Donnell definitely is one of them. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this practice and have indeed done so, many times.

    The best Veterinarian I've ever known! Came out to the practice on a Sunday after we messaged his personal mobile number late Saturday evening, and were promptly called back to discuss our very poorly cat Pink Nose! We had 1st class care and compassion. It's so wonderful to know how much understanding and empathy this man possesses. I can't praise Hawksdown enough! Thank you
