    Highly recommend Abbotskerswell Vet Hospital - the reception staff are wonderful and all the staff give me confidence in their professionalism and positive dealings with my dog and me. Vets always cost more than you want to pay but when they deliver a caring service that makes all the difference.

    We have been with this practice for a few years now and when asked why we stay when there is an hour and half journey involved I simply say that the service and warmth received is so worth it and Delilah has settled on her vet visits! Always recommend to anyone struggling to find a vet practice’.

    South Devon Vets is a truly amazing place. The team here are approachable, friendly and knowledgable. Whilst other veterinary practices we have previously known have been sympathetic at South Devon Vets they not only know what the meaning of empathy is they constantly put it into practice in vast quantities. We can’t thank the whole team enough for the kindness and understanding they showed us recently and In particularly the care given to our beloved Phoebe in what was a very difficult time. The professionalism shown by this practice deserves multiple gold stars and we highly recommend them to all pet owners looking for a dedicated team who go above and beyond on a daily basis.

    We have been with this practise for 10 years or so, and have never had any complaints, excellent care from the whole team, all very skilled and always treat customers and their pets with respect. When we had to euthanize 2 dogs, previously, due to ill health, the empathy we received from everyone in the clinic was unbelievable and one of the vets carried them into the car, which we found a very touching moment. Since then. we have a new dog, Hollie, who loves going to this clinic for check ups and inoculations, as the vets make it a fun experience. We only have to say, "we are going to see your friends, the vets" And she is standing ready by the front door! Thank you for all the excellent care we have received from the whole team over the years

    Lovely friendly staff who were very helpful. Promptly seen by vet who was pleasant, seeing him again for a check at our local vet’s. Tricky location to find as up a side road.
