Stark, our Husky, actually looks forward to seeing 'the girls' at Parklea. He visits regularly due to his diabetes. He acts like a puppy when he sees them.

My wee puppy was attacked on a Friday, suffering a bite wound around her left eye. During the course of the next 12 hours, the wound became infected, leaving my dog in extreme distress and unable to open her eye due to a build up of puss. It was a frightening situation and I felt ill equipped to deal with it. Parklea vets seen me as an emergency drop in on a Saturday morning and were amazing in accommodating my puppy and I. They cleaned her wound and provided a course of antibiotics for her, allowing her condition to improve immediately. The staff at Parklea are amazing people and I can’t recommend them enough. Caring, considerate and compassionate. For as long as I have my wee doggy she’ll be going to Parklea. Thank you Parklea Vets 🐶🐾❤️

The kindest and most pet centered vet ever. No mention of insurance companies etc...just looked at our dog and treated her as the most important dog in the world. I cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic vet. They’ve looked after our pets for over 20 years. I wouldn’t take them anywhere else.

I cannot recommend Parklea highly enough. The practice is clearly underpinned by a highly professional, efficient and caring business ethos. As an example, I have received many calls and communications from Heather out of hours, often just to check on how my dog is doing. Referrals have been seamless, and admin, such as insurance claims, have been dealt with in a very timely manner. My dog, Rolo, is in palliative care with continued monitoring and tweaking of medication as his illness progresses. This is not a great time for Rolo, however I am secure in the knowledge that his quality of life could not be in better hands. (If I could give Parklea 10 stars, I would)
