Old fashioned? Maybe but who cares, best vets to care for your pets for miles around!…read more Colin Poole is an excellent vet... He loves animals and it shows - what most vets need countless x-rays and probes for he can diagnose with his eyes and fingers.... During my 30 years living near Colin's practice I had probably more than my fair share of pets.. I'm not a dog or cat person, I need both... My pets were in excellent hands with Colin and he helped to give most of them long and healthy lives and for those involved in accidents you knew when it was right to stop trying because with Colin its not how much money can I get out of these people its can this pet have a quality life? He didn't tell us one of our cats had cancer, until the treatment stopped working... That meant she had all her quality life without us having to fret. One of the few regrets I have about moving away from Harrow is that I doubt I will ever find a Vet as conscientious and caring... If you live near enough I cannot recommend strongly enough this practice for you and your pets - they may not be open 24/7 but they recommend you an alternative for emergencies when they aren't around (and if they are around and your pet is screaming with pain they'll magically create more appointment times!!) My dogs; Tiffany, Leo and Lucy and cats: Mitzi, Max (x2 - don't ask they were rescue!), Koko, Charlie and Candy are all on the other side of the rainbow bridge now but they all hold Colin and Diane Poole and their crazy surgery Parrot in very high esteem. Thank you Northwick Veterinary for being you. God bless x

She then gave us a five minute, cantankerous lecture on why she is against any form of crossbreeding. Not really the warm, friendly, "old-fashioned", family-oriented service we were hoping for.

Watch the Panorama programme on them. My own vet - Roberta from South Harrow - featured, saying…read morethat the reason a cat had multiple different claims was that they could claim more money. She diagnosed my 6-year old cat with kidney disease and prescribed life-long drugs, at considerable profit, no doubt. I wanted a more definite diagnosis rather than just basing it on blood tests and agreed to a kidney biopsy. The biopsy needle broke off inside him and they couldn't find it, so just sewed him up again with the needle inside him, which could have been fatal. They refused to do anything about it and tried on no less than 7 occasions to get me to sign a disclaimer saying that they weren't liable, which of course I didn't sign, after consulting a lawyer. When I took him to the Royal Veterinary College to remove the needle and check the diagnosis, they said there was nothing wrong with him. He's now 17 and STILL doesn't have kidney disease, so Medivet has lost out on 11 years of charging over the odds for drugs he never needed in the first place, let alone the trauma they put me through. Don't touch them with a very long barge pole. They're all about profit and not about animal welfare at all in my experience. I complained to the RCVS, but they weren't willing to do anything either.

We left their care after a few months of pet ownership as they didn't seem to know much about our…read more(admittedly slightly unusual) pets and we couldn't always see the same vet - and each one had a different idea about what could be wrong. They are always friendly and seem professional, and no doubt they are fine with ordinary pets like dogs and cats, but they are quite pricy. I popped in the other day as they are close to my work, to pick up a supplement I had run out of that I normally buy online, and was shocked at the price of it. It is fine to put a mark up on products, but they charged more than double the cost of buying online.

Earlier this year our Guide Dog puppy (Georgia) was spayed at Blythwood Vets in Bushey. Needless to…read moresay, already having had a number of negative experiences with this surgery we were already worried for our dog, but we couldn't have predicted what would ensue. Firstly, only a few hours after arriving home, our dog still being heavily sedated, we saw large pools and patches of blood on the floor and on her bed. We were immediately extremely concerned for the safety of the wound, however we found out that the blood was coming from her claws which had been clipped so short that they were bleeding. Unfortunately, the staff at the surgery had not thought to tell us of their error before leaving, instead making us find out in an awfully traumatic way. The next day we contacted Blythwood Vets and received a very reluctant and excuse-filled apology, with no empathy or concern for the welfare of our dog. Nevertheless, we moved on from this and 27th July 2022 we said goodbye to our pup, as she went to train at Redbridge Guide Dog Centre. However, a couple of days ago we were shocked to receive the news that she is now in season again. Therefore, this surgery was completely unsuccessful and our poor dog has had to be removed from her home and put through another arduous surgery. I am utterly disgusted by the standard of care offered by Blythwood Vets and would warn anyone from using their services.

I usually see Graham Finch because I generally visit on my day off with my cat and he's usually the vet on duty on that day. He is efficient but above all just kind. I have also seen Barry who is equally good. The nurses there are friendly and helpful. What more could you ask for from a vet's practice ?
