We have been with Colne Valley for well over 10 years for dogs, chickens, ducks ... and highly recommend for their overall care of pets and owners. I'd like to give particular thanks to the team who revived my terrier using CPR while she was having an operation on her paw. Not only did they save my dog but the aftercare was fantastic and each time she has been back for her paw checks team members chat to her and check how she is, even if they weren't part of surgical team that saved her on the day! Yes, I have used different vets previously and no the experience wasn't anything like this and actually put me off wanting to take my dogs to them but my dogs are always happy coming here and are always welcomed warmly. Thankyou to the whole team for making pet care feel so supportive.

Our appointment was on time greeted by friendly vet and advise given and all was explained what he was going to do

We saw Neal this afternoon with our very stressed 8 year old cat attending for his annual vaccinations. I cannot recommend him highly enough. So kind and compassionate both to my husband, myself and our cat. Quite a contrast to the experience we received previously at our local vet in Mersea. Thank you so much.
