    • Sarah Weston· 6 months ago

      Great experience here. Took our dog while on holiday after he ate something he shouldn’t. We rang in when still on our walk and they rang back as soon as the vet started. They saw us really quickly and gave us all the information we needed to put us at ease. Very friendly, professional staff who look to put the dog first and aren’t too pushy trying to make you spend money. Really glad we chose to come here, thank you for all your help.

      The best vets I have ever used. Sam is so caring and Buddy is totally ease with her despite what he has been through with his horrible ear infections. This is a vet practise that puts animal care before profit.

    • Sanya Ludlow· 7 years ago

      This is a brilliant veterinary practice. We were on holiday in the area with our two dogs and one of them needed a blood test for a condition she has. The vet was exceptionally professional; she exchanged the medical notes with my home vet and made sure we had the test results within 24 hrs. All other staff we encountered were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We were made to feel very welcome. The cost was very affordable too and excellent value for money.
