EXCELLENT Based on 239 reviews Shannon StandingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would honestly not go anywhere else. I have two dogs and three cats that I literally trust with their lives. They’ve guided us through two losses and even helped startup a randomly bought puppy that was in desperate need of help! They are the most wonderful, caring, knowledgeable team of people I have ever met! One of our cats was even referred for a specialist surgery in Edinburgh which saved his life - I had no idea it was an option until they told me! If you want to have that peace of mind knowing your furbs are safe, looked after and loved - then this is the vets for you! AlysonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great as always, all staff are really helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Ellen ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As always a brilliant visit, yes a few problems found with our dogs but the explanation given was very clear and indepth and easy to understand with words explained and way forward discussed and plans made Steph CurrieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I lost my darling Maine coon misty suddenly this morning, my heart is broken. The ladies tried their best to save her. She was only 5 months old. They treated me and my darling girl with much dignity Bobbie BlacklockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best vets around! They were great with both my cat and my dog! I’ve been told by two vets that my dog would need sedated to get his nails cut, which I really didn’t want to do but one of the lovely vets really took there time with him and managed to get it done, it’s been the only place to take their time with him other than just suggest sedation straight away! Who highly recommend them to anyone Leana HoldenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really lovely staff, I wouldn't have my pets anywhere else now. Ewan WatersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always professional, courteous and friendly! Gail SmallmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great Veterinary practice! 🏥 I've seen a few of the vets for my cat and dog since they've been open. They do so much to help and you can tell they really care ❤️ If you have queries they're happy to answer over the phone or email if you just want to check something post-visit I'd highly recommend them They do in-house testing so results and treatment are really quick, which is what you want when you have a poorly or suffering pet Shout outs to the vets Iina, Lynn & Sophie they've all been great 🐾 Dot JenkinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
