Last year, I moved into my first flat alone in Withington. Solo. No flatmates. I was a bit lonely,…read morenaturally, with the boyf living in a different city and all my mates living in Manchester city centre. I decided that the only thing for it was to get a cat and thus cement myself in my friends' collective consciousness as their gin-soaked mad aunt. The first place I went was the Yew Tree vet surgery, as I knew they'd have a list of rescue centres, and they did. I made plans to visit one or two, but then by chance found Alan (nee 'Taz') going free to a good home, from a good home. Instantly, I loved him. Instantly, he loved getting under my feet. It was truly special. Then I noticed that Alan wasn't eating much and seemed pretty sluggish. Obviously I did what any normal cat owner would do. I cried, I panicked, I lambasted myself for being a rubbish cat parent. I went to the vets. The service we got at Yew Tree was fantastic. I burst in with my cat carrier and lay prostrate at the receptionist's feet "I am awful!" I wailed "my cat is ILL!" James the vet was lovely and calmed Alan down instantly, with some sort of vet magic, did a thorough once over and pinpointed the problem instantly. 20 minutes later, with a prescription, all of Alan's vaccines etc, a charity catnip toy and the advice "Do not feed your cat Go-Cat, it is MacDonalds for cats!!!" ringing in my ears, I was off home, happy again, and not crying. I know that it doesn't seem much; cat ill, vet see cat, cat get better, but as pet owners know, it is so important to know that there's a vet you can trust. The Yew Tree vet surgery is a great place to go. As well as saving your fluffy friend's life, they sell a great range of healthy vet-approved pet foods, and animal toys, a lot of which are charity affiliated. Even now that we've moved into the city centre, we still make the journey into Withington when Alan needs a check up, because we know we can trust them to be thorough and professional, and nice to the cat.

It's always nervewracking taking a baby animal to the vet. What if it embarrasses me, you're…read morethinking. What if there's something wrong with it? What if I've been a really bad owner and not known it? All these things were running through my head when young three month old Phoebe was popped in her pet carrier and taken to Withington's Yew Tree vet today. First of all, I love dogs and I love cats. But good lord, this is where dogs have the advantage. Most travel so well, and they're usually keen to meet new people so the strange man with the big needle doesn't seem in the least bit threatening. Cats, well, they're the misanthrope of the animal world. They adore a few select people but it takes a while to make friends with them. Now, Phoebe likes her cat carrier, for sure, which is a huge positive for a kitten... but she doesn't like being contained and she does NOT like engine noise. So here we were, taking what is normally rather a nervous, skittish and anxious kitten to an unfamiliar place in a now more heightened state of nervousness, skittishness and anxiety. Great. Just what on earth was going to happen on that table. I needn't have worried. Not only do you get a warm, lovely, friendly welcome at the reception desk, you get James. He's amazing. He's seen it all - nervous cats, cats who are phobic of everything from bins to bags to binbags to doors to shoes... like mine, angry cats, evil cats... he has one of his own. Our kitten was very healthy, he checked her over 100% and asked lots of questions about her behaviour and diet. We got tons of great advice about cat food and what little Phoebe would be needing in terms of shots and whatnot over the coming weeks. You can't put a price on a good vet, and now that there's a feline in our lives we're even happier we're moving closer to this establishment. Yay to the Yew Tree vets!

Having become a proud parent of a Siamese Kitten, it was only natural for me to seek the best vet,…read more Researching my local area this was one of the vets I decided to try. Their website is very informative, and it was there that I found their Pet Plan where for £10.99 a month my kitten could get all the required injections, worming, flea treatment, microchipping, and a free months insurance. Before collecting my kitten from the breeder I phoned thet vet to book an appointment and to query about how to go about changing the kittens food over. The receptionist/vet was so friendly and helpful.!! On the day the vets were genuine and set both me and my cat at ease. At the time my furry friend had fleas ( a present from the breeder) but the vet soon remedied this. I have been back since, and have built a nice rapport with the vets and they greet us by name when we come in. I would strongly recommend this vets , it can get busy though which reflects its popularity .

They sell range of dog and cat foods and toys which are on display in the waiting room. There is a tv in the waiting room for you to watch.

We have been using these vets now for several years due to owning 2 pet rats (of varying sexes…read morealong the years). Compared to Rhyd Broughton, who we went to a couple of times with one of our first rats, and promptly never went back due to attitude, price, and the feeling of an overall lack of interest or knowledge about rats; Borras Park Vets are outstanding. [As an example, at Rhyd Broughton, after having one of our rats put down, I had to wait in reception for well over 5 minutes, in tears, waiting to pay for the treatment. Disgraceful]. The two main vets at Borras are both lovely - very approachable, informative, and knowledgeable. Their prices are reasonable, and in an emergency they always do their best to fit us in. A very nice touch after one of our rats had to be put down was they sent us a With Sympathy card. Very thoughtful, and costs them very little. Borras Park also have a surgery in Lavister (by the Grosvenor Hotel in Pulford).

I was not able to get insurance for him, so had to pay for all treatment myself. I have a number of rescue cats. I paid all bills over the last 21 years without question. During 2010/2011 my then 13 year old developed a knee problem. I was concerned with regard to her treatment. she had a plastic knee which cost over £500.00 with the cage I was advised to buy and other things. she had to be kept in the cage which ended in being a duration of over 6/7 weeks as the hole in her leg did not heal. She was stitched and stapled. no collar was put on at first until WE requested it. Finally, being exasperated I returned to the vet for the 6th time, seeing a different vet, and saying I wanted to leave my cat there until they had sorted out the problem. I had a 4 year old granddaughter and my cats leg was oozing rubbish. I telephoned to see how she was and a very snooty receptionist told me that she had taken so long to heal because I hand't followed their advice. I had! I bought a cage £50.00 another litter tray. kept her in it for far too long. returned to the vet 6 times which cost for the fuel and time off work. I told her this two weeks later I received a letter saying they did not want me as a customer any longer. my husband was livid. I wrote for an explanation and was completely ignored. I contacted them some months later because my pancreatic cat was very ill and they wouldn't treat her. So what point it the Royal College of Vets advising people to contact the vet in the first instance. Once you question anything thats it absolutely shocking treatment and I don't believe they care two hoots about the animals because they would not treat mine even though they knew he could die. Really caring vets if you have nowhere else to go, yes use these Willows in Endon.
