  I’ve been with Cotswolds Vets for around 11 years with my dog Bella . I’ve always had a really good experience with them and Bella too. She’s very nervous at the vets but they have always taken the time to calm her. She went today to have her booster jabs and health check with Ruth who was brilliant with her and also very informative about her teeth . She spotted a small chip immediately on a back molar and did a more thorough examination and explained clearly any possible problems it might cause . Bella was surprisingly calm throughout.

  I’ve been taking my cat to this practice for sometime now, thinking they were really good, no cause to write this review. Recently after my cat had some teeth removed, I took him back for a check up because he was gagging, we found that on the roof of his mouth a small red spot appeared, but they were unsure of the cause. He was put on antibiotics and pain killers, with regular check ups. However, I was finding that he was still gagging. I took him back several times and then I was informed the best solution was to remove all of teeth. Whilst he was under, they took a biopsy and two other tests. The other tests came back negative. The biopsy was not sent off and kept at the practice to see how he responded to having his teeth out. He improved with the antibiotics for a short time, the decision was made to check him in another week or so. In that time he went downhill very quickly as soon as he stopped taking the antibiotics, he was still gagging, so I made an urgent appointment, to then be told he’s got a tumour in the roof of his mouth and the best thing for him is to put him to sleep. He was a beautiful boy, healthy, so you can imagine the shock I went through. Since that day I’ve been exchanging emails with Ben debating the process that was taken. They were not sure what the cause was, so why wasn’t I advised to take a biopsy first, and know the results before any further treatment was taken? The biopsy would have shown if it was cancerous, or not, then I could have prepared myself for this, if it came back negative, then I could have made the decision to take out his teeth. I wasn’t given this opportunity! I refused to pay £200 for the cremation fees as I was so upset with the loss of my beautiful boy! Ben phoned me, and tried to explain, I was driving, very upset, he continued to talk for 40 minutes. He’s now emailed me, demanding payment or he’s going to get the debt collectors involved. This isn’t what I call good practice for someone who is still grieving. I’m now having to go through a legal battle over £200. Would you trust you animal with this vet, I have a beautiful kitten that I introduced to the family, but that was short lived. I will be taking her to another vet. 😞🥲 my beautiful boy just before he was put to sleep.
