Orchard House has been brilliant! Our branch is Bellingham and all the staff are so understanding, knowledgeable and helpful, as well as being most professional. I recommend Orchard House without any reservations.Our dog, Dora, and cats Casper and Alice have benefitted from their expert care.

Absolutely brilliant. All staff are polite and helpful. Darren is a star he is the only nurse my chihuahua doesn't bite! All of the vets are very knowledgeable and give you the confidence you need for your much loved pet. I cannot fault this practice and my little chihuahua is happy too. Thank you for the service you provide

Very caring and professional. Extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Everyone takes the time to explain the treatments and meds. Having had the odd emergency on the past as well as the routine health checks I would not take my 3 anywhere else.
