    I don’t write, many reviews, only when I have a poor experience or an amazing experience. Therefore I’m writing this cause we had an AMAZING, EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. We recently took our 15-week-old puppy Mochi to Davies Veterinary Specialists to have a fractured tooth extracted, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the whole team was incredibly welcoming, professional, and reassuring. A special thank you to Rob Davies, who performed Mochi’s extraction. His care and expertise were truly impeccable. He took the time to clearly explain the procedure, answered all our questions, and made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. It even seemed like Mochi took an instant liking to him, which made the experience even more reassuring for us as owners. The procedure itself went very smoothly and was completed quicker than we had expected. Just a few hours later we were happily reunited with Mochi, and a nurse carefully talked us through all the aftercare instructions and what we needed to do once we got home. Everything was explained clearly and patiently. We’re incredibly grateful for the care Mochi received. The whole team at Davies Veterinary Specialists were fantastic, and they truly deserve a big congratulations for the level of service and compassion they provide. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing specialist veterinary care.

    We took our cat to Davies as he had tooth resorption so our vet referred us. We had a consultation in the morning and were given the information needed. The vet called us when he was under anesthetic to let us know of the situation after having done and x-rays. In the end they had to remove quite a few teeth but he has been recuperating well and was already eating the day after. We asked them to put through the claim to our insurance so only paid the difference as we reached our max claim. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

    We couldn’t have asked for a nicer team of people to look after our sick dog Ted. Everybody was so lovely from the first moment we walked in to reception when we were scared and worried, to the moment we left with him after his few days of treatment. As owners, we were kept well informed at all times, allowed to visit at times to suit us and felt that he was in the best and most caring hands possible. Although it was tough whilst he was staying with them, and not at home with us, knowing that he was safe, happy and being well looked after certainly made it easier. Thank you to everyone.
