Barton Lodge, what can I say, outstanding, friendly and they treat your injured pet with the utmost…read morecare as if their own. I have seen two different vets now on separate occasions and must say I am impressed. When I moved here from Herefordshire I did some research of the local vets and chose the nearest to home. After a few visits to the vets with both of my dogs and not really happy with the level of service, then by chance passing Barton Lodge in the car, I decided to give it a try the next time one of my dogs was ill, and Im so pleased I did. They will definitely have me as a returning pet owner whilst living in this area which will probably be for a long time yet.

Barton Lodge Veterinary Centre looked after our cat from the time she was a tiny kitten to the end…read moreof her long life. Staff at the practice are always friendly and polite and very caring for the animals they treat. The vets gave great advice about our pet's diet and general care. Their annual reminders about booster vaccinations were extremely helpful this is such an easy thing to overlook when you are busy working. We also were very pleased that they gave our cat an annual health check and I'm sure this is what kept her fit and well and a super pet for 16 years. When she eventually became terminally ill with cancer at the age of 17 one of the vets, the owner, sensitively gave us the prognosis and we were able to decide when the time had come to say goodbye to our pet. This was handled with great sensitivity for which we were very grateful. We will definitely continue to use Barton Lodge their service and expertise is second to none and we have great confidence in them.

We use this vet for our two cats. It was originally recommended to me by a friend who is a vet but…read morehas moved and now lives too far away to be our vet. I like that this is a small practice with staff who genuinely care about the animals rather than profit which can be a problem with some of the larger chain type of practices. I have always managed to get a same day appointment when needed one of my cats is often getting himself into scrapes and has needed quite a few visits over the years. I do find this to be a lovely friendly caring place and we will continue to use it for as long as we have animals.

The only things is that the waiting room is quite small and can get backed up. Quite often there is a wait and sometimes there is nobody behind the reception desk. I wish people who had dogs would keep them next to them as it can be frightening for chidren and cats to go past. The fees are good and the vet is lovely, so I continue going there.

We had been looking for a vet for Brooking. I can finally report here that these people know what their doing and go above and beyond. They're very understanding with your individual needs as well as happy to explain in detail what your pet is having done. They also get your appointment finished in reasonable timing. Excellent customer service. Paulo is so nice, professional, and caring to your animal. Brooking, was so happy and well taken care of. I can't begin to Thank You, See you again soon 5*

my first visit to Orchid vets. One of my hens Grace became ill whilst I was on holiday. I was given…read morean immediate appointment, and Grace was given a thorough examination lasting half an hour, by William Lewis who was very kind and helpful. showed me how to administer medicine orally, and Grace is now 100% fit and happy. Never was the suggestion made that as it was only a hen why not put her down, she was treated as though she was an expensive pedigree. If you have poultry or any animal, you will receive fantastic service from all the staff here

Excellent vets to my Staffy 'Bailey'…read more Very helpful and friendly staff with reasonably prices. There never seems to be a full waiting room whenever I visit - I don't know whether this is because they have an exceptionally good appointment system or if I just tend to have quite late appointments but it does mean there aren't problems as a whole with animals trying to get at each other causing distress. I would highly recommend this Vetenary practice. http://www.icknieldvets.co.uk

The staff are very professional, very helpful and capable. I found the vet I saw (Teresa) was extremely friendly, very caring and very honest.

He had to have surgery and stay in for a few days and well, he didn't want to come home! They are well cared for and loved by all the staff there. They use their name to make them feel at home. I was given an initial quote which seems very reasonable although after the surgery they said they had complications which then increased my bill which is understandable. It is quite a busy little pratice but they do make room for you if you call for an appointment. There are emergency consultations too. A great vets and the only one I ever go to now.

It's never fun having to go to the vets, not for the owners, not for the pets. But the Woolpack is…read morea very good veterinary surgery, their opening times are very good - even on weekends. It's a fairly new place to the area, taking over what used to be the Little Chef/Burger King by the by-pass. With that it is large, roomy and modern, not overly clinical and not terrifyingly silent like some vets. They have a number of vets here and you don't tend to wait very long, they really do care about the animals here. Sadly I know this all too well from experience when earlier this year we had to take a pet there to be put to sleep. But the fact that the vet herself cared meant a lot. I've been to other vets where it's just a job, they don't get attached, not even for a second. And though that's good for them it's not so great for the owners of the animals in pain. But here, here they care so much. The pet we bought in was just a young little hamster, but they treated her like she was the most important thing at that moment and tried their very best for her. Alas in the end there was nothing they could do, but the fact that they tried so hard and cared so much does still touch me to this day. This is a fantastic surgery, and long may it be here.

The Woolpack is in my opinion the best practice in our area and i would trust them with my own life!!
