We reluctantly had to say goodbye to our beloved family dog, Chase. Through the tears we would like to thank Karen and the nurse for supporting us in our home, making a very difficult, sad moment a loving, gentle and peaceful goodbye. You were both incredibly kind, gentle, respectful, and supportive to my children and I, explaining everything clearly and giving us time to say our goodbyes without feeling rushed. Heartbroken, we know he is still with us because we hear him on our stairs! We would like to thank you all for your compassion and professionalism, we know you all truly cared 🙏

Overall not the worst vets but there is so much room for improvement. To preface, we have a rescue cat. The waiting room is a huge issue and terribly stressful for nervous animals, especially cats. I don’t think the wall between sections is enough and still means cats can small dogs, automatically putting them on edge. My cat had an appointment in December where we got there exactly on time but was made to wait for 45 minutes with no real explanation as to what was happening, all the while my cat is shaking in her crate and having to wait unnecessarily. Anyone registered to this vet is likely local and they have my address so there is no reason to not call me ahead of time and tell me there is a delay so to come slightly later. I would rather wait at home where my cat is comfortable instead of in the sub-par waiting area. Regarding the appointments themselves, there is little to no personability from the nurses and we have seen a different one each time we’ve been which says a lot. I have also found that this means you find yourself repeating yourself when it comes to the medical history/background of your pet. If you can’t guarantee the same nurse each time, then any additional information should be written in my pet’s report in each appointment so that other nurses are aware. I never saw this happen.

Skilled and caring vets and nurses who put my dog back together after he was hit by a car, injuring both his back legs. Everyone in the practice was so kind and my dog still loves to go in - even after several surgeries- because he loves the staff so much!

A brilliant vet practice. All the staff (reception, nurses and vets) are so lovely and helpful. They have looked after our two dogs and some chickens for a few years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I never feel like they are trying to take advantage and 'upsell' treatments/practices that aren't necessary and I trust their clinical advice. Priced very fairly too. Would highly recommend.
