Looking at the reviews this vets seem to have improved considerably…read more I used them around 10 years ago. The turning point for me was when I rang in as an anxious pet owner asking about treatment for my dog, the receptionist thought she put me on hold. She then proceeded to use every F word possible and scream that she couldn't F'ing cope with me. Her supervisor came on the phone and I advised her that I had heard everything and she could only apologize. I immediately changed vets and informed them that I could not leave any animal of mine in their care if that is how they spoke about their clients! I also took a Terrapin in for treatment which I had found, the vet looked and hinted they were not funded for wildlife but said the Terrapin looked alright. I then rang the RSPCA who took the poor creature to a sanctuary, it died en route. Coincidentally they then took it to Peak Vets who diagnosed extreme muscle waste. So not alright then? Still they didn't have to treat it as it was dead. The Partner Steve rang me to ask me to clear my bill, no apology! He has since retired. So it was 10 years ago, still a lot of the staff I spoke to are still there. Sorry but had I not heard how that receptionist/vet nurse and her disgusting and disturbing outburst then I would have been none the wiser. Lets hope they have changed!

Both vets obviously love animals and they are wonderfully reassuring to us worried owners too. The reception staff are also extremely friendly and are on-hand to answer enquiries by email as well if you haven't got an urgent problem. I would definitely recommend these to anyone in the area.

After issues over treatment of three different dogs over 3 years we have finally left this…read morepractice. The first problem concerned a bad mis-diagnosis in 2017 of my elderly mother's dog on which she doted. Arundells' vet insisted that her problems were related to a build-up of fatty tissue and NOT cancer, as we had suspected. After a subsequent and very expensive MRI scanning procedure at another vet, our fears were shown to be accurate and the dog was finally put to sleep. Our own precious retriever/spaniel cross became ill one night and we had to take him into Bennetthorpe in the early hours of the morning to see what was to be done. I am sure that nothing could have been done to save him, he was 13yrs old, but we felt that over £600 in less than 6 hours was a fairly hefty fee to pick up a dead body. This week our latest and final problem has occurred with our Labrador puppy who has been registered here since June 2019 when we got him at 10 weeks old. It may have been difficult to spot a hip issue at his early health-check and attendance for immunization, but we had an increasing concern that all was not well. He was subsequently castrated (far too young as we are now told, but we were not advised of this by Arundells at the time or we would certainly have re-thought the action). Recently, the arrogance and unhelpful behavior of Arundells' staff was highlighted when we attempted to have them sign off on our Labrador puppy's planned visit to a physiotherapist - what ensued was a veritable circus of poor communication and organization. Ahead of the physio visit, we asked for a consent note from the vet who had seen him last. This was agreed to, but the consent order was wrongly sent for him to be operated on and not for physio. We asked for the proper form to be sent, having booked him in for an appointment that evening. At 5.20pm we received a call from Claire, who warrants a special mention as the self-important 'head receptionist' who apart from being rude and unhelpful refused to send the correct consent order until we had paid for him to be seen again by a vet there. It seems we could have him operated upon, but he wasn't to be permitted a consultation for physiotherapy! Given the time of the return call (5 hours after we had first made the request) there was in any event nobody available at Arundells to see him in time, anyway. Now dealing with the fallout of this encounter, further exploration has shown up a previously undiagnosed issue which we are trying to address - at another vet. All of this is a great shame as we have the utmost respect for the senior vet in this practice, but we would certainly not go back there.

I love Arundel vets, they've looked after all 3 of our dogs. The staff are great and extremely…read morefriendly, appointments always available and go out if their way to help. Would highly recommend to any pet owner.

Review of End Cottage Vets (Zero Stars if I Could Give It)…read more Every single experience I've had with End Cottage Vets has left me feeling dismissed, disrespected, and deeply frustrated. The level of arrogance and indifference from the staff is staggering. I phoned today simply to request a repeat prescription -- something I've done before -- and was immediately talked over and treated like I'd never dealt with them in my life. Instead of listening, the man on the phone patronised me, insisting I should use the automated system as though I'd somehow imagined previous direct conversations. That attitude sums up this place perfectly: cold, defensive, and uninterested in genuine care -- either for animals or for the people who love them. Their prices are extortionate, their compassion selective, and their first instinct seems to be to push for the most drastic (and expensive) measures rather than finding ways to actually help. The overall tone is hostile and transactional, not caring or supportive. End Cottage Vets should be ashamed of the way they treat their clients and the animals entrusted to them. A veterinary practice should stand for empathy, trust, and understanding -- three qualities this place has consistently failed to show.

IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET FIND ANOTHER VET!!!! After my cat went blind I was told by one of their senior…read morevets that my cat had cancer. To be sure they wanted me to undertake tests which I agreed to. After tests they said there was nothing systemically wrong with my cat. No other explanation of the blindness was offered. A few days later I took my cat to a specialist eye vet for a second opinion who told me he was 95% sure my cat had a systemic condition likely to be cancer and he asked me to arrange for the scans to be sent to him so he could view for himself. I asked for the test results including scans to be sent to the specialist vet 5 times but the scans were never sent despite assurances every time that they were being sent. This prevented the opportunity for my specialist vet to see the scans for himself to confirm his judgement. When I pressed them on why the scans were never sent they finally admitted that due to human error the scans were never saved. I made a formal complaint which is also being extremely poorly handled. These people do not care about animals only profits. BE AWARE. THERE ARE OTHER LOCAL VETS YOU CAN USE BUT BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THESE VETS ARE PART OF A WIDER GROUP (WIGSTON GROUP) who are part of the same business. if I could have scored less than 1 I would have selected that option

On entering the treatment room, the Veterinary Surgeon was in attendance but I was dealt with by a woman (late 50s, shoulder-length blonde hair) who showed not only great rudeness (loud voice, bit like a Fishwife..) but was also very offensive - the *consultation* I felt was dealt with in an extremely un-professional manner, which resulted in me suggesting I will take my cat elsewhere for treatment. They have certainly lost a prospective customer! What is more, on discussing this with a personal friend who is also a Veterinary professional, he stated THIS WOMAN IS WELL KNOWN for her attitude!
