Not what I expected .I asked did they have a leaflet and was asked what for , I wanted to make sure I was doing the best for my new puppy , feeding ,going out for walks ,injections etc .

All the staff are fantastic always friendly and helpful, it’s the pricing I am unimpressed with yesterday they said I needed a review before I could get a repeat prescription, went in she checked her heart ( my dog is also under specialist for tumours on her liver she see vet every month ) checked her micro chip ( never had that done in 20 years of using them ) and then was charged £60 just for consultation, I know it’s not the staffs fault so didn’t complain but £60 for 5 mins bit steep

Outstanding care by Charlotte over the past year, and compassion shown by Sophie and the nursing staff including reception on a very sad day for us today. RIP Tommy, simply the best Labrador we could have wished for. Everyone at this business, have a very high level of knowledge and customer service, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Stu, Zoe and of course Tommy 🐾🐾❤️
