Really lovely and empathetic vets and nurses here, have always had great and informed experiences. Also the extended opening hours are a lifesaver. My dog loves his vet appointments haha

We are absolutely grateful for the outstanding professional team at Central Vet Hospital. Our 7 year old cat needed an urgent complex dental procedure, we weren't previous clients, and they responded and assisted us extraordinarily in no time. Pancho was treated with excellent care and love, and he's recoverying super well. He is a happy grateful cat! Thank you Doctor Rachel and all the amazing team who was part of Pancho's hospitalization. You add amazing value to Welly's community! ❤️❤️❤️

Had our eight old Lab to Central Vets for annual inoculations today. Very impressed with Emily who proceeded to give our Piper🐕‍🦺 a “once over” and explained in detail Piper’s health indicators. We have had three visits to CVs and all vets were magic. Cheers, Christine, Rod & Piper🤗
