Total of £600 for a short visit regarding hemorrhagic gastroenteritis which got us no closer to solving the problem. Part of the treatment included £54 for a tube of probiotics, which again was a bit much, when the dog wasn't able to take them. I understand this is a vital service which the staff perform well, but the premium doesn't go to them as it should. I'll avoid these corporate-type vets in the future if I can.

Tummy problems are always worrying for rabbits but she was so patient and caring with him and gave him a very thorough examination. (And was very kind to me, who was probably more upset than the rabbit.) The care and advice she gave was spot on, and after a night of being syringe fed, Peanut was back on his feet in less than a day. All the staff were sweet and patient and friendly, and really do know rabbits.

We didn't realise how life threatening this was and that we took him in just in time. All the staff we dealt with were so kind, caring and patient. They knew how much our dog meant to us and let us come visit him and sit in his kennel/give him cuddles even though he was full of tubes/medicines and did not want to be there at all. The fees for out of hours vets are extortionate (£6500 spent so easily in only 4 days) and definitely emphasize the importance of pet insurance. The team tried to keep costs down where possible and we are so grateful for the option of them to make a direct claim with our insurance, so we didn't have to fork out £6000 cash which we don't have!! Thanks again to the team for getting our boy home alive and (nearly) well in time for Christmas!

From the moment I walked in there, she acted like I was inconveniencing her. In case she doesn’t realise, she works in an overnight out of hours veterinary practice, which is somewhere people go when they’re absolutely desperate. I didn’t take my puppy there for a routine appointment, he was seriously sick and it felt like she was judging me from as soon as I walked through the door. When sorting payment out, she acted like I was personally refusing to pay her. Her manager said I could pay £100 & sort my insurance details out as I didn’t have the money upfront. I went to pay the £100 for her to snatch the card reader away and ask if I could pay £130. In the shock of it all, I did, but what the actual hell? Unfortunately my puppy passed away later that night, the vets who dealt with me and him were absolutely fantastic and I cannot fault them enough. I was told to call the next day so I could get info about the next steps, the horrible receptionist called me to try and word vomit cremation options down my ear without even so much as a ‘sorry for your loss’. She lacks total care and empathy, and to be quite frank, should probably get a retail job. She’s dealing with real people who love and care about their pets. She’s disgusting. I asked her to email me the options, and got the bluntest email over 24 hours later with not so much as a link. Honestly, I’d get someone else to be the receptionist.
