Outstanding care and service!! I recently moved to Tarka with my dogs as they are so conveniently located to me and after visiting on their open day, I was really impressed by their set up (not just that but as a self employed businesswoman, I wanted to support two women in business!) Both my dogs have visited and I’ve been extremely pleased with the visits. I had one of my dogs castrated yesterday and he was well looked after 🙂 and I even got updates and photos via WhatsApp! Highly recommend! 🫶🏻🐾

The best vets I've ever had. My puppy was spayed this week. They sent me picture updates from start to finish . Absolutely brilliant service from reception to nurses to the two wonderful vets.

Sadly I had to find an emergency vet to send my old boy Minty for his forever sleep. Despite the sad circumstances what a lovely place - Marina was absolutely fantastic at guiding me through this in the most caring and empathetic way. We were not rushed at all quite the opposite and I’m so grateful for that. Now I have found this gem of a vets I will be moving all my pets across not only is it exceptional but the pricing is very fair what a lovely set up where the animals definitely come first 🩷
