Thank you to the whole team, we had our much loved dog put down, they arranged to come to the house, clear, thoughtful discussion and compassion shown throughout, and after the event. Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you.

"Lady" on reception with the scruffy hair is horrible, no manners at all and the business would be better off without her. Won't be returning.

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Our cat had been in a fight and needed her eye examined. The vet was rude. Blamed us. Only glanced at her briefly before saying the eye needed removing.Would only speak to my wife and refused to even look at me. The cost was quoted as £1500 plus and no explanation regarding other sources of help such as the animal trust. We took her for a second opinion to vets for pets who were compassionate and attentive. I would avoid using this practice at all costs. Vets for pets were a similar price so don’t mistake this for being grumpy about cost. This post is about compassion and understanding an animals place and role in a family. Should be the very least you expect from a vets.
