  If 0 stars was an option, I'd of chose it. So so disappointed with my experience at Vets for Pets. I noticed my dog wasn't himself on Tuesday and took him for an emergency appointment, where they did a blood test that didn't really detect anything apart from slight dehydration and a MILD infection. They suggested I brought him back the following day to be put on a IV drip, which they kept him on for 8 hours - they had to take him off for a while in the afternoon as the FLUID WAS COMING OUT OF HIS NOSE?!?!? Sadly, they put him back on the drip after this, sent him home and said I should bring him back the following day for another check up. He died the following morning after being pumped completely with fluid by 'professionals'. My dog shouldn't have died, if it really was a mild infection. Started treatment of my dog before they even knew what was wrong with him and it ended tragically. THEY CARE MORE FOR THE MONEY THAN THEY DO YOUR PETS. Absolutely heartbroken.

  I had to bring my 12-year-old cat to Vets for Pets on a Saturday due to a sudden decline in her health, which sadly ended with her needing to be put to sleep. Our usual vets were closed, and I am so grateful that Vets for Pets were open and able to see us urgently. Issy on reception was truly outstanding, she was very kind, caring, professional, understanding, and incredibly supportive at such a difficult time. She really is an asset to them and I really appreciate the way she helped with everything. James, the vet, was also excellent I found him to be knowledgeable, compassionate, and very helpful, taking the time to explain all the options before we made the difficult decision to say goodbye. At the time when we were also dealing with the imminent loss of a close relative to cancer, the empathy and support shown by Issy and James meant so much. They helped make a heartbreaking situation a little more bearable, and I cannot thank them enough. Truly excellent care both for our pet and for us as a family, thank you.

  Our young cat was taken into vets for Pets Ilkeston, by a very kind person after being found at the side of the road. We were contacted and told our cat had been brought in deceased. I can't praise all the staff enough for the way they handled our loss. We were offered the option of cremation and time to think about it. We asked them to cremate him. When I collected his ashes, I could not believe the trouble the had gone to. His ashes were returned in a lovely box, with a certificate that he had been individually been cremated. I could go on about the service we received but it would take far to long. The most amazing thing, we were not even registered with them. I would recommend these guys to any one with a pet, or thinking of getting one. A huge thankyou to all the staff for your kindness and sympathy from Garry, Jan & Ziggy
