We’ve always had such a positive experience here. Everyone is friendly, professional and genuinely caring, and the vets are always incredibly thorough and brilliant at explaining everything clearly. We’re on the monthly plan, which gives us great peace of mind, and we recently visited for our cat’s annual health check and booster. As always, the vet was fantastic - thorough, gentle and took the time to make sure everything was checked properly. We’re really happy with the care our cat receives here and always feel he’s in such good hands. Thank you! X

I do feel confident I'm getting very good advice at this practice, Claudio is always so kind and gentle with my sensitive dogs and takes so much time and care to assess and explain the various steps available which helps me understand the best way forward to treat my dog and the costs. Thank you Claudio for all your time, care and patience.

Comfortable with the Vet and comfortable with the diagnosis but a bit pricey

Vets for Pets have really helped us with a sick leopard gecko. Anthony gave us expert advice and sensible, pragmatic solutions for managing an untreatble eye problem. It was reassuring to have someone who understands exotic pets go through the possible options with us so we could make informed choices.

I've always had a positive experience when taking my cats to this vet. A recent visit was very friendly. Claudio was so caring, calm and knowledgeable when giving my 2 cats their annual MOT. You can tell He genuinely loves animals. He was confident giving us advice on things to look out for.

I have been with this veterinary surgery for many years & always get first class assistance with my pets. Today was a particularly good visit because my dogs were seen quickly & the nurse who clipped their nails was very pleasant. Thank you.
