From reviews (examples of care actually mentioned)

  • Surgery for tumour removal (two different types of tumours mentioned)
  • Emergency surgery for a dog
  • Support for chronic/recurring problems including skin issues, severe allergies and eye issues

Pricing

  • One reviewer reports being charged “just over £43” for a short visit involving “a quick meds jag,” and says “£38 was just to get our pet seen to.”
  • One reviewer describes paying a £20 “contribution” for a cat’s neutering linked to a Cats Protection arrangement, and later being told by Cats Protection they “shouldn’t have paid anything” (they report seeking a refund).

People

  • A receptionist referred to as “Laura” is criticised in one reviewer’s account for handling of a Cats Protection-related neutering charge, including allegations of being talked over on the phone and misrepresenting what was said; the same reviewer contrasts this with having “no problems at all” with the practice in the past.
  • Multiple reviews talk about the wider team/staff rather than naming individuals: one owner describes staff reassuring them “every step of the way” around surgery anxiety, and another mentions the clinic accommodating a nervous dog by letting them wait in the car until the vet is ready.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 150 reviews.

  • Surgical care and updates: owners mention emergency surgery and being kept up to date on progress, and another describes tumour-removal surgery scheduled within a week with reassurance throughout.
  • Handling anxious dogs: one reviewer says the practice lets them wait in the car to avoid the waiting room until the vet is ready.
  • Costs and front-desk experience are mixed: one recent review objects strongly to the cost of a brief injection/visit, and another alleges poor receptionist communication and a disputed payment related to a charity neuter arrangement.
