    We sadly had to have our beautiful cat Dennis, put to sleep on 8th January. He was almost 17 and a massive part of our life. From arrival at the hospital, and meeting Maddie the vet and the other lovely ladies there, we were treated so well. We were both in tears and the sympathy and compassion shown to us, and the gentle and loving care given to Dennis was beyond compare. We were given as much time as we needed with him, nothing was rushed and we were reassured and the process explained to us throughout. Dennis was cremated and his ashes returned to us in a lovely container for us to scatter them when the weather improves. We also received a lovely sympathy card, some 'forget me not' seeds, his paw prints and fur clippings. All in a beautiful box for us to keep. Our heartfelt thanks to all at Drove Veterinary Hospital, for making a heartbreaking experience, just that little bit easier... ❤️

    Having recently adopted a rescue with skin issues the surgery has been amazing at supporting us and getting our new dog back to full health. It's good you can request to see the same vet with your animal and so the trust and rapport is built and more honest conversations can take place. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    My family has been with this practice since 1980 from the little red building! I will not use any other vets so my 2 youngest cats had started off in the kitten club then progressed onto the cat club, which is a wonderful saving and keeps my cats in good tip top health. The staff are good with my cats and they cope with me!! I highly recommend Drove vets for its quality of animal care, knowledge, empathy towards animal and human.

    I have used Drove Vets (The Hospital) for over 30 years. They have treated my cats with care, tenderness and professionalism, right to the end of their lives. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. Following surgery and subsequent injuries the ladies on reception, without question, assist me to carry my cat in and out of the surgery. I have today registered my new kitten and I can't recommend Drove Vets highly enough
