I've just been conned out of £550 by these vets. My husband's first wife took her border collie…read moredog in yesterday and was told that the dog needed an emergency caesarean. She didn't have the money and was told the treatment couldn't go ahead unless she paid up front. She rang my husband in a state and said she didn't have the money and put the vet on the phone, so I know it is true. We couldn't see the dog die, so I paid them over the phone on my credit card. It was only afterwards when I'd had time to think, that I thought - hang on a vet wouldn't let a dog and puppies die. I rang up and asked them if they would have let the dog die if I hadn't paid the money. The manager Alice said no so I asked for my money to be refunded as the owner is nothing to do with me and I don't want this on my credit card. They have refused. It never occurred to me at the time, as I pay my bills on time and don't run debts up, but it appears that the first wife has accounts with them and is probably in arrears. I can understand that they need to get their money; but to blatantly lie to my husband in order to get anyone to pay this woman's debt is to me unethical, immoral and unprofessional. They will have their own channels to pursue debts without resorting to playing on other peoples' emotions in an emergency situation in order to get their money. After speaking to the manager this morning, she changed her tune and said the vet can euthanase an animal if the owner can't pay. So be aware - if you have an emergency and can't pay, these vets can hold you to ransom, euthanase your pet or, as in this case, will not start the operation until you get anyone, just anyone to pay the money up front. I've been really upset by all of this and they know how badly this is affecting me, but they won't do the decent thing and refund my money and pursue this woman via the correct channels. Thankfully the dog and puppies are ok, but I dread to think what would have happened if these vultures and the spendthrift owner hadn't been able to get us on the phone yesterday. Shame on you Aireworth Vets. Latest - the final bill came to £542 and they won't give me a breakdown of the charges or even give me my £8 change. I've reported them to the various channels for unethical, illegal and immoral conduct.

This is a very attentive and responsive vets surgery. I have been using them for years and they…read morehave treated my cats for a variety of conditions as well as carrying out standard practices such as neutering. On more than one occasion they have seen a pet of mine at incredibly sort notice even though their surgery was fullly booked. Not only do they offer a high degree of professional work, they are also very sympathetic to owners worries and situations. I have had to have 2 cats put down here (ironically both in the same room) and on both occasions the vet in charge was so kind and supportive to me I felt like hugging them! It's worth noting both times there was nothing that could have been done to save my animals but the vet did everything possible until it was realised that to continue treatment would have been unkind to the cat as well as being a complete waste of money - so many less reputable vets would keep fleecing owners, saying there's still a chance'. These people might not be the cheapest but they are the best i have come across.

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 .
