The staff are the best around, very caring. I had a sad day having to say goodbye to my beloved dog. I knew it was coming still sobbed so hard and the staff are so understanding and helpful made my little dogs last moments peaceful. Its bittersweet to say thankyou but you really did make her last moments easy and explained everything so well. These really are kind hearted people who really care about animals.

Always fantastic for both my cats and dog whenever I have been in. Really attentive vets and staff. Very chill waiting room and space outside to walk the dog if it gets too crowded. Very reasonably priced for the amount of attention and feedback on the wellbeing of my pets. Will always recommend.

I've been taking my furbabies to Irlam Animal Clinic for about 9 years now. I can honestly say they have had the best care there. My Staffie, Baby, who passed last year, had to have multiple operations with her having cancer. Baby was always looked after properly and she loved the staff. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and always happy to help.

I went to irlam animal clinic yesterday as an emergency appointment as my dog cora-sue had something stuck in her throat and was causing her discomfort and stress, and I have to say from the reception team to the vet, where absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this fabulous place for all your pets needs, I've have been to many vets practices in the past having had dogs all my life, and irlam has surpassed them all. Thank you for all your help, and the safe removal of cotton from her tongue and stomach. Will be more vigilant in the future. Kind regards Jackie
