Should be 10 stars at the very least!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As we walked into the warm and clean reception area (where high standards never falter) We were greeted by our usual reception staff, who are always extremely welcoming, warm, professional and ALWAYS greet my fur babies, by coming round to say hi to them. I feel this is so important as they take time to get to know them and build a good rapport with owners and pets. To me, that in itself speaks volumes. Thank you Anny & Alison! To be fair, it’s normally a drama when my trio enter the building as I’m normally saved by reception, vets and nurses as my feral trio bulldoze their way out of the cage from the boot of my car and make a b-line for the road before I can put leads on them and get their paws 🐾 🐾 into the building! ………..(To be fair. that could be why MY trio are so well known!?! 🤔🤦🏼♀️) The vets and practice/caring nurses (We saw Kerri and Sarah today and they are both worth their weight in gold, especially as they think nothing of getting on the floor and trying to talk and cuddle the doggos into having an injection or having their nails clipped. Especially when this sometimes turns into a wrestle, with blood, sweat and tears 🤣 But they take it all in their stride and the job gets done with a smile! Poor Kerri seams to always get the brunt of out visits! We had the pleasure of meeting a new vet yesterday who was as brilliant as the others. Normally my Charley doesn’t like men, but the vet, from the off had Charley eating gravy bones out of his hand; literally!! We can’t praise EVERYONE at Okehampton and Chagford enough. They are a team and give their all, and their all is second to none! They’re all so welcoming, informative, and share their knowledge. Also, what’s reassuring for me, is that they take time to explain, when (if you’re like me) it all becomes a blur with information overload! My troublesome trio enjoy their trips to the vets - Charley LOVES the attention…….(and (maybe 🤔 the gravy bones 🦴 play a part?!!🤦🏼♀️🤣🤦🏼♀️) W!llow is ALWAYS happy because my monthly visit nearly ALWAYS results in a new squeaky toy! 🧸 And what a selection they have! (When I say ‘they’ I mean ‘Okeford Vets’, however, my husband would argue we can match their selection at home! - or even raise it……. 🤦🏼♀️🥴🤣) Buddy thinks when he walks his paws through the door 🐾🐾 that he’s going to see his fan club and would stay there being fussed by everyone all day! He’s like “I’ve just stopped by for MORE attention, like us show cockers should!”🤦🏼♀️🤣….. We can’t recommend Okeford Vets enough, they tick every box to the highest of standards and we’d never pick convenience over quality, which is why, despite a few recent moves, we remain loyal to Okeford Vets because they are THE BEST. This is thanks to everyone there at the practices. Faye, Charley, W!llow & Buddy! 🐾🐾🦴
