We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Anne-marie and the team for the exceptional care and kindness you showed to our beloved Smilga. She passed away suddenly and without warning due to a rare heart anomaly, just as her worst eye problems seemed to be behind her. Smilga was truly one of a kind and was loved beyond words. We couldn’t have hoped for better care during her time with you. Also your support meant everything to us when she sadly passed away, and we were at a loss about who to call or what to do. We will forever be grateful for your compassion and guidance during such a devastating moment.

So impressed and happy with NEVO! Great communication, efficient, kind and supportive. My girl Sky is treated so well, and I am reassured when she is there. She comes home, despite a difficult time she is having, purring and happy as before. Thank you 🩷

Our cat Ponyo attended NEVO after being referred by our vet for ongoing eye issues. Ivan was so gentle and compassionate with Ponyo and carried out a detailed and thorough examination of her eyes. Ponyo was treated that day and the issues seems to have resolved. We received a call from another lovely member of staff the following day to check-in on Ponyo. Very impressed with the level of care at this practice. Thank you! (Attended May '24)

Fantastic service received for our elderly dog. Anne-Marie and her team always showed great care, compassion and understanding to our worries along the way. Everything was well explained and due to our nervousness about an operation given our dog's old age, various alternatives offered where appropriate. When an operation on the eye was the only choice remaining it was all handled professionally and sensitively with a positive outcome. Thank you to all for super service. Happy owners and happy, pain free elderly dog.

We were referred to NEVO as our vet wasn't sure how to handle the blackening on our Persian's eye. From start to finish, Anne-marie and her team were fantastic, giving Floyd the time and care needed to assess his eye. We explored every option and despite Floyd eventually having an eye removed, we were confident that it was the correct decision to make. He is now back to himself, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome, and the post-op care shown by NEVO. Thank you very much! Gillian, Chris, Floyd and Dexter.

My French Bulldogs both had Corneal Ulcers, which required debriding and a blood vessel graft. They both made full a recovery. Highly recommended
