I recently had to say goodbye to my bestt friend a deaf female XL bully 'Alaska' . With the deafness she had to sleep touching me since day 1 . We communicated by looking into eachothers eyes we had a unique bond. I know the vet saw this connection which not many people did. To see a vet getting upset and telling me my dog is the type of dog she's going to go home and wake up worrying about shows pure empathy to the situation. Couldn't recommend anyone else and can't thank them enough for their care . These guys are there because they care not for the money. Thankyou xx

Amazing! - this place was recommended to us and comparing to our old vets a well known famous company. The difference is astonishing. Staff who care. Staff who are polite. Staff who aren't trying their best to get extra money out of you. 10/10 on service, price, professionalism. Also it's so clean inside. You can really tell everyone takes pride in the service they provide. Including reassuring me as a nervous owner when we thought an operation would have to be done. I'll be popping back down with a card and chocolates for the Staff asap! Thanks again 😊
