When we moved to the north east we brought our cat here for treatment. They removed his thyroid via operation and did a fantastic job. When it came time for him to cross rainbow bridge, all staff involved were respectful, kind and supportive. They gave him dignity at the end and I cannot ever thank them enough for that kindness.

They changed my appointment from 5pm to 4.15pm, we got there on time but didn't get taken in until 4.30pm, this is not on when my dog gets really stressed going to the vets

Greedy company and very unprofessional will update after my complaint about claiming on my insurance without permission and the prescription they charged me £68 for when online it was £26.Removed treatment from sick animals that’s the kind of company they are ! A satisfactory professional relationship between a client and their veterinary surgeon is founded on mutual trust and confidence. It is clear there is no longer such a basis to our relationship. We write, therefore, to give you notice that, effective immediately, our professional services will no longer be provided for your animals. As soon as you have registered with an alternative practice of your choosing, if you will let us know their identity, we shall be pleased to supply them with copies of relevant clinical records to ensure continuity of care. The outstanding blood results will be e-mailed to you when they have been received. Yours sincerely The First Vets Team
