    Would definitely not recommend this Veterinary clinic. No no no! They trade as specialists but could only offer the option of putting my dog down when I wanted possible treatment options for my dog. It is in direct contrast to what I was looking for. Go to UCD veterinary clinic if you want expert specialist. treatment for your dog. Found also the vets did not like the owner's input, almost an ethos of listen to me and don't question it which is not conducive for getting the best outcome. It's not up to you to determine. I paid a significant amount of money to tell me to have my dog put down. Furthermore, my appointment was with vets at this clinic and not as you suggest with Carolyn House nor MiNlight. It is important to accept the facts. No point in further discussion I listened to two staff advising me in having him put down. He lived on for some time. I would definitely not recommend this clinic based on my experience. Additionally, like so many places they deny that you have been there finding no records. Convenient.

    Our first visit and all the staff could not be more helpful and put us at ease. Rachel was great dealing with our insurance claim and took the pressure off me at an anxious time. All reception staff were welcoming and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us to help our visit go smoothly and rebook another visit without any pressure. Julie the vet was great. Explained everything in great detail, listened to us without an issue and cared for our dog. The whole team cared for both pet and person and I cannot praise them highly enough. Brilliant is all I can say. Thanks to all the team on making our visit easy when we were worried about our dogs heart issue.

    What an absolutely incredible team! Massive thanks to the fantastic Andrew Burns who really went above and beyond with my puppy Izzi who broke her leg over the Christmas period. I genuinely don’t know where we would be without him, he explained everything in detail including costs which is obviously a big part (it may seem expensive but believe me they are so beyond worth it for the care/ attention your pet receives and the wealth of knowledge between the team) Also thanks so much to the nurses who looked after Iz for her over night stay, and lastly to the loveliest receptionists. I felt completely at ease leaving her in your care. I wish I could give a 10 star review. If you are considering a surgery for your pet, this is by far the most professional, caring and qualified place to go. Izzi is such a lucky girl to be referred to you. THANK YOU! ❤️
