Catherine has been so incredibly supportive as we have adapted to life with an adopted stray cat. Great communication over a few months and support in getting our very scared cat in at a time to cause limited distress. The vet was very gentle and kind and put my mind at rest. Great service all round, cant recommend highly enough.

Called to cancel an appointment last minute and needed some advice. The lady I spoke to was very understanding, gave me plenty of support and answered all my questions. Truly wonderful service.

I have never been happy with vets. I have always felt they hurt my dog every time (not barrowford) so I was a little anxious about going today. My dog Roxy was seen by Rocco Simone? Honestly I have never come out of a vets happier. I will no longer want another vet only him. I highly recommend. Receptionist also lovely. Ps my dog actually liked him!! When does a dog like a vet? That never happens 😆

First visit. Friendly receptionist. Lovely vet. Very informative and showed a genuine interest in my dog. Will be using permanently and will bring my cats too.

At their Barrowford, Lancashire Practice, but attend others in group. All very clean. Receptionist's very obliging and pleasant, with a welcome smile. Vet, Anne, excellent and thorough. Our dog, Merlin, just loves seeing her. It can't wait to go in at any of the staff and Vets at the practice's attending, which is a good sign of care and attention given. This applied to all animals, birds we have taken there over the years. Note, just a client, not owner.
