      Excellent care and service. Lovely friendly staff. So much that my dog Hugo fakes illness just so I'll take him to the vets.

      Medivet Thorpe Bay have looked after our two rescues for a number of years. Their care is magnificent, thorough, and professional. Although the practice can handle nearly all of our dogs issues they never hesitate to recommend specialists as required. I fully recommend using this vet surgery.

      I have never had such an amazing vet in the whole time I have had pets. Over 40 years. Johan and his team are 1st class. I started taking my new puppy from the moment I got her, she was very unwell and from a puppy farm. Within weeks Johan had her putting on weight, and after 4 mths gave her much needed surgery and support. She is now 3 years old and loves going to see them with every visit. She is my best friend, sadly She will have life long problems with her hips and back leg, But with Johans skills and outstanding knowledge, I always feel she is in very safe hands with him. Your are made to feel like a friend and tteatment is fully explained to you. ( unlike other vets ). It's more than a business to them, your made to feel like a friend, your much loved pet is a part of the family to them also. No treatment is carried out unless its much needed. Thank you yet again for the emergency appointment.
