I've been taking my various cats and dogs here for over 15 years now. Seen lots of different vets and nurses and everyone has been great. They may not be the cheapest and yes maybe they might be over cautious on tests that might be needed but I wouldn't go anywhere else locally. Nice reception staff and if you ring up with an emergency they are super helpful and get you in quick. Happy to giveow level advice on phone if you have a problem.

Feeling very sorry to come to this clinics, as we being told they have professional exotic VET - appeared they don't have any and have no understanding what they are doing, and their extremely not professional behavior caused shock to our rabbit recovering from paralysis and long stasis, as ...they forced him to eat 3-4 times bigger portion despite he was suffering from Stasis for 3 weeks and this sudden overfeeding could cause him shock and liver damage, and then chasing him to run despite at home he barely could move few meters and was getting tired, and ..'rabbits after being paralysed not aloud to run for at east 2 months (according Google info), as it might affect their immunity and cause another attack on nerve system'. That's what happened, as pet got paralysed in 10 min after being picked up from VET and passed away within few days. Unfortunately, VET Management doesn't see any problem in this behavior which goes against official recommendations, as ..'they did everything right to do their best to (kill) sick pet'. Not recommending this clinics

Lakeview Thrapston took our dog in after his emergency vet appointment. They performed X-rays and eventually had to operate. He came back the same day and is recovering now. The main reason for the perfect review was how human they were. They knew we might have struggled to get the thousands together to pay for our boys surgery but instead of focusing on ensuring they got paid, they made our boys health the priority. If they didn’t have that compassion we would have had to say goodbye to our baby. We had enough to pay with them getting our insurance company to pay directly in any case they were willing to make a plan with me to settle the bill. When I picked him up I was told to pay whatever I could but we had enough in any case. Thank you so much team, you saved our boy and we will forever appreciate everything you did. I was preparing myself to have to say goodbye but you saved him.
