What pet owners say
I've been this vet for over 10 years. I have 3 dogs. Tim is great doctor. He did a lot of surgery for my dogs. All reasonable price I think. He doesn't do over charge or unnecessary checks for your pet in my opinion. Now 2dogs left I have a memory of when first dog was sick and left me I can't go back there for reminding of my Toto. But I am recommending for this vet, but when your pet have a big issue please go to specialist to find details. Now I move to eye specialist clinic for other dog. I could go back some day when I get better. Thank you so much All team. 💓

After multiple trips to the vet before Christmas we kept being reassured that our kitten (not even 11 months old) just needed some antibiotics and something for a parasite. We queried if there was anything else we could do they said no. We dropped our kitten peach off to a cattery after being reassured the day before that she’ll be fine. Cattery rushed peach to them on Saturday 23rd of December to Tim, who spoke to us after she had been and told us she needed 500ml of fluid and something to help her eat and a strong antibiotic and special food “but she’ll be fine”We got a call from the cattery saying basically the same thing, but also that the vet told her “this cat is in seriously bad shape”. But said she was fine to go back to the cattery. Our little peach died in the cattery early morning on Christmas Eve. Vets are meant to look after pets, not brush them off because it’s a busy time of year. I will never take another one of my pets here, and will be telling everyone else I know who goes there, to change to a different vet. When calling the vet I explained the situation and said I’d like to have the clinic managers email address so I can email my concerns and line up a meeting so I can better understand their processes, I was hung up on. Disgusted, and angry doesn’t even start to cover it.

Our dog is almost 12 years old and has always been treated at this vet. We feel incredibly lucky to have Diana as our vet, she always takes the time to patiently explain everything about our dog’s condition and considers our real-life challenges, charges reasonably, and never orders unnecessary tests. The nurses and front desk staff are also so kind and attentive to both pets and their families. We’re truly, truly grateful. I’ll absolutely recommend this clinic to everyone I know. Amazing team!!

After having a really poor experience with another vet, we were recommended this vet online. The care, service and overall experience have been great. Our 10yo + dog has an operation, I was very worried, but it all went so well and he was in great care. The receptionist even held him in her arms until he fell asleep. We have three dogs and they'll all be coming here now
