      Very good , but the cost of 57.77 pounds for 5 minutes to tell me my dog is OK, way to high, but good news , I think you need to take a step back and understand that some of us can't afford it so the pets will suffer

      The team at Medivet on Maldon Road have been looking after our dog Gigi so well. They are so clearly great with animals and made her feel so at ease, even though she can be a bit nervous and bark-y! They managed to squeeze us in with very little notice which was great for my concerns. Thanks so much for making the experience not a traumatising one for her (and us!).

      I took my dog Bernie today and saw Mike the vet. I found him to be very thorough and caring with a calm, easy manner. He explained everything to me concerning Bernie's ailments and we left feeling very reassured and relieved. I must mention the receptionist also, I'm sorry to say I didn't catch her name (Lorraine?) Who was very polite and friendly. A very good experience. Thank you

      We’ve been taking our dog and cat to the vets on Maldon Road for quite a while now. I can’t compare them with other vets in the area in terms of prices, but what truly matters to us is the care and service—and on that front, we couldn’t be happier. The team is always professional, kind, and compassionate, and we trust them completely with our pets. Our pets mean the world to us, so we only want the very best for them. We feel confident that Maldon Road Vets provides exactly that. We can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinary practice. With the love we have for our cat, Wes, and our dog, Penny, it gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands.
