    We registered our JRT with Beacon Vetcare at Par and were extremely impressed by the service that we were given. Harry gave our elderly dog a very thorough first consultation and examination, and we felt very reassured about the advice we received. And the action that needs to be taken with regards to his heart murmur. Very impressed thank you.

    My cat Clint has recently had sòme dentistry done. I was unsure whether it was a good idea as he is 15 years old. The vet I saw reassured me it was a good idea and nice thing to do for him. I went ahead with the surgery. All went well and I felt he was excellently cared for and the surgery went well. He is pretty much fully recovered now and I am very pleased with the service and communication from all the staff I saw. Many thanks from Clint and me.

    My girl was taken into Beacon vet yesterday., We explained her symptoms and the vet was right on what she felt it was in the very beginning. Thanks to her quick diagnosis, my girl may have the best outcome possible. Every stone was uncovered and the best was done for my girl so grateful for having this fantastic vet on the doorstep, that puts the animal well-being first.

    I registered my Chihuahua cross with Beacon Vets at Par. I was very impressed with the friendly atmosphere when entering. The vet I saw was absolutely brilliant. I was a nervous wreck, but I needn’t have been. The examination was caring and thorough. What I also liked I wasn’t pressured into anything. The vet wasn’t at all pushy when I said I don’t deflea or deworm with Pharmaceutical drugs. I use natural products. I was also surprised at the price compared to my previous veterinary practice, hopefully they’ll keep the prices reasonable for clients and their pets. Overall I was very impressed.
