Although my dog was nervous on my first visit with a painful ear infection, the vet was excellent at reassuring her & as a result she was much more relaxed at her follow up appointment. All of the staff are lovely & friendly too.

Over the many years we’ve been with this practice, most of our visits have thankfully only been for vaccinations and routine health checks. This week, however, I had to bring in our nervous rescue dog twice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the first call with Devon to the consultations with Duncan and Kelly, I felt that everyone truly took the time to listen to my concerns. Their advice was sensible, straightforward, and reassuring. What really stood out was the care and patience shown towards Loki, who is usually terrified at the vets - especially around men. Remarkably, he even took kibble from Duncan’s hand, which felt like a huge breakthrough. I honestly cannot recommend this practice highly enough. The whole team goes above and beyond, and I always feel welcome to phone or pop in for advice - nothing is ever too much trouble.

Superb care and an amazing team. Absolutely wonderful to still have a friendly, local independent veterinary practice, and a fair pricing structure. Duncan and the team are simply fabulous. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else.

We can't thank Duncan and his team enough for what they have done for us and Jasper over the years. Sadly Jasper passed on 30/09/2022 with his family around him. He was the light of our lives who gave us over 15 years of pure love, devotion and happiness and will be missed so much but sadly had to cross the rainbow bridge. Duncan and his team helped us up to the very end, ensuring Jasper was in no more pain, with compassion and dignity. We will not hesitate and would highly recommend Duncan and the team. We thank you so much for what you have done for us and especially Jasper. xx
