DO NOT TAKE THE PETS HEALTH CLUB PLAN. After paying for 3 years nearly they REQUIRED AN EARLY CANCELLATION FEE OF 60 pounds per per. This is a very idiotic way to take advantage of the people who pay for it. Feels like extortion to the finest. Absolute horrible service. It will not cover your day to day things that your pets need anyway. You end up paying too much for too little. I would say don’t take it.

Recently had our poor poochie put to sleep and the team were utterly fantastic. Very thoughtful, caring and supportive in making an extremely difficult decision. There was no pressure for anything, other than supporting us through a very emotional time, allowing us to not be pressured by a bill/invoice or other topics. We have loved this surgery compared to the Flitwick branch, so highly recommend for anyone who can make it to the Barton surgery.

Visited Boness vets for vaccinations for my two cats. I also obtained flea and worming treatment. This cost a jaw-dropping £270. Was also told at my appointment that my 9 year old cat would need dental treatment costing up to £1200. When I explained that I have 2 children and 6 pets to pay for on a limited income (I’m disabled with stage 4 cancer and two associated endocrine conditions) and couldn’t afford the procedure (which I also believe to be painful, dangerous for the cat and unnecessary) I was made to feel like an irresponsible person. The vet literally said I should have thought about how I was going to pay for my pets when taking them on (they are all well loved, insured and cared for). I genuinely feel that Boness are only interested in making profits and not in the well-being of animals or in the provision of good customer service. I would look elsewhere for an independent vet and would not recommend this corporate establishment.
