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 😆

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.

Amazing little vets - just a heads up when trying to find it that it just looks like an ordinary house door from the outside. Threw us a bit. Saw my cat Toffee as an emergency and quickly diagnosed him and administered a steroid injection which he didn't even notice and prescribed some antibiotics and special flea treatment after an allergy saw him in a bad way. Toffee is bright and happy again and is taking his antibiotics like a trooper. She was kind as was the receptionist and saw to him quickly as she could see he was distressed. She didn't even mind that poor Toff had an accident due to stress. Very reasonably priced and a lovely clean environment. Thank you ❤️
