The nurse who we spoke to was so understanding, full of compassion, warm. She was interested to hear all good memories about my pet & even asked if I want something to remember Gabi. It was such a nice gesture. Ended up with paw prints 🐾 and card. Thank you so much for all the support I've got from you, and I'm for sure registering my other cat 🐈‍⬛️ with you.

Even though they are a large practice, the service and professionalism is second to none and you can tell they actually care about the wellbeing of your pet. They came into their own when sadly I have had to have two of my cats put to sleep and Thistle Vets were so caring and handled everything with such dignity to my cats and my family, that was when I knew I had made a wise decision to make Thistle Vets my go to Veterinary Clinic. Do the same as you will not be disappointed.
