    What can I say about this place apart from it being a top class establishment, my youngster is in for a complicated surgery that lasted 4 hrs two top class surgeon's and the team of nurses on hand to make sure he was stable during this time done an amazing job, The aftercare he is getting is second too none, he is almost one week in to his stay and recovering well. We have regular updates 2x a day on how he is doing from the surgical team, and get to visit him too 🥰 The level of care from the staff members is astounding, from the surgical team who done his operation to the stable staff and all the students that are making his stay as comfortable as possible, He is one spoilt baby boy who is loving the staff pampering him and giving him cuddles for us while he's in there care.

    This place is just fab. I had my boy in for a difficult surgery last August and everyone was just amazing. So much patience when I called for the millionth time to ask something, every time I came to visit someone from the team came to speak to me. My boy was so well looked after the whole time he was there. They truly love animals there and it shows. Also my boy fully recovered after the amazing job that was done there.
