As i've recently aquired an addition to our household in form of cooper, a boxer, i was looking for…read morea good vet to get him checked over and vaccinated. After asking around a bit i ended up going to this surgery. And i'm glad i did. The opening hours suit even the busiest person, there is an appointment only surgery in the morning and an open surgery in the afternoon. They also run a surgewry on a saturday. The staff were really nice and helpful and the vet lovely with cooper. I went to the open surgery but didn't have to wait for long. Cooper got all his jags, everything went really quick, but i never felt rushed. The vet answered all my questions in a way even i could understand (lol). If you're looking for a vet i'd recommend this one any time.

Used Galemire for years. All went wrong when the new vets took over…read more My lovely old whippet had started treatment for atrial fibrillation. Really good Dr B said he might need a different drug as well so of I went to Galemire, to find a receptionist who knew nothin and cared less. I then got set disinterested vet who kept me waiting half an hour And they charged me £213. I querid this and got nowhere. Took the drugs home and two weeks later went to The Vet Whitehaven (brilliant) who found that the newly prescribed drugs were twice the dose he should have. Left to Galemire he would have just died. With good care he lived another 8 months

On holiday from America, my husband and I found a tiny naked bird, eyes still shut and just a few…read moretufts of feather on, struggling on our cottage walkway. I picked it up and searched in vain for a nest. Finally tucked it into a tea towel and looked up local vets. Found Archway but it was closed for bank holiday, so I called the emergency number and left a message, fully aware that the vet may not return a nutty call to a US mobile at 5 on bank holiday about a bird. Ten minutes later he called and said he would be there within 15 minutes. Doctor checked my sad find and explained that it was much too small to survive but he would euthanize it to keep it from suffering. I apologized for calling him on his holiday and he was so kind about it. I tried to pay but he said they don't charge for wildlife calls. He was sincere and compassionate and professional. I'm glad I met him even though I'm sad for the poor bird who never got to live and sorry I shortened such a nice man's holiday.

You would think that your pet is the most lovable cat/dog/rabbit etc they have met. As with any vet the food is expensive, and I used the dry food which they recommended for a long while.
