Our special Diesel Dog who has a great fear and paranoia of vets, had a growth between his toes that was concerning. The team at barkes corner vets, patiently worked with us to get a biopsy then surgical amputation of his toe- including the growth. Ongoing dressing changes, each visit needing special care with him has finally seen him happy and healed. The growth was benign and was expertly removed with clear margins. Scott did an amazing job, keeping us well informed throughout the entire process. The nurses were also, very professional in their management of Diesel giving him great care and support. Although Diesel Dog is still not a lover of the vets, he probably has less anxiety around them now as he gained confidence with this episode of care. Thanku Scott and team!

Fifi (cat) hates going there.! I love it as I have someone to help me hold her down and shove the medicine in her mouth and the thermometer up her bum. All the vets are Amazing! Especially Scott Raleigh who has been administering to my farm and domestic animals animals for about 40 years!! Thanks Scott

(This review is being made on behalf of Lesley) I’ve been meaning to write this review for a few weeks to thank the team for the amazing care my dog Rosie received. Rosie, my miniature schnauzer, had surgery to remove her gall bladder, and Scott, Georgia, and Alice were all involved in her care. It was clear throughout that Barkes Corner works as a true team, with excellent communication and continuity. Scott was amazing, he took the time to clearly explain the surgery, checked on Rosie at the after-hours clinic on his way home, and followed up regularly during the week. Georgia was remarkable, compassionate and thorough, always taking the time to explain things and answer my questions. Alice was also wonderful and very reassuring. A big thank you as well to the wonderful nurses and administration team for their kindness and support. Rosie is doing really well now, and we are incredibly grateful. Highly recommend Barkes Corner.

We always have a great experience taking our cats to Barkes Corner Vet. Georgia has been very knowledgable and kind while we go through the process of one of our cats with an allergy. Highly recommend. The cat waiting room is an added bonus too. Thanks team 😊
