    Would put no stars if possible. Had to bring my dog here to due it being late in the evening and I was basically told she would need surgery or to be put to sleep. Due to her age I was not happy to put her through surgery. I discharged her and took her to my vet and was told she could have surgery but it was not necessary and that the issue could be managed on pain meds and recovery. A month later and she is back to herself with a very slight limp. I have no insurance left as Wear Referrals charged £2000 to keep her in for 2 nights, a heart scan and some bloods. I was quoted £5,500-£7000 for her stay and surgery. My vets advised if I did go ahead with surgery it would be £1600 inc the xray. I feel robbed and completely taken advantage of. Please avoid or only go out of hours for pain medication and wait to take your pet to your own vet.

    The team at this emergency vet practice was incredibly proficient and calm during a stressful situation. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and personable, which made a huge difference. I’m very grateful for the care and professionalism they showed.

    Excellent care received at Wear for my pug Arthur! All staff were caring and friendly. Thank you Matt for looking after Arthur whilst he was in your care! Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again if needed in future
