What incredible vets I moved to the area 10 years ago with my horses, having had mixed experiences with veterinary practices down in Cheshire. North west equine have always been impeccable in their knowledge and equine health support. Sadly and heartbreakingly I had to have my two horses put to sleep at the end of March. The reason for my review was HELEN. I cannot thank her enough for her knowledge she shared, her empathic nature or her kindness. It will never be forgotten. It was the most difficult time of my life’s but Helen was something else… she was so understanding, so calm, so knowledgeable. I’m am so so so grateful she was with me in such a horrible situation. But her kindness and love will stay with me forever and made the day so much easier, emotionally. A good vet looks after your animals (as they should) a GREAT vet looks after how your animals feels and the owner too. Helen, honestly, I couldn’t have gone through that day without you. You made everything so peaceful. I have perfect memories of my hoof angels leaving this life. You made the trauma of it all so much easier. I am forever grateful to you, Thank you Helen for being an amazing equine vet, the equine world is incredibly lucky to have you. Thank you north west equine for the fantastic service.
