Allow to make a point about the PDSA i think needs a rethink , when you arrive at the pdsa you are…read moreasked to donate towards your treatment , which is free if you are entitleld to HB and council tax benefit . However not all treatments are free for eg my dog which had a dental problem needed i was told some toothpaste for dogs this i was told was £9 so no treatment is not entirely free or donation based . When i raised the fact that i could not afford this medication with the receptionist i was told well you have had £20 of treatment already and only donated £5 .......... why is it i asked that the amount you donate is not anonymous indeed it is displayed on the vets treatment screen when you are in surgery .Oh she said that doesnt mean anything " . Well i said if it doesnt mean anything why are you using it as an eg to compare it to the amount i donated ? Because if i had donated £100 you wouldnt have used such an eg would you ? She said nothing and refused to hand over the toothpaste unless i had £9 , which unfotunately having already donated the maximum i could afford that day i could not pay so had to leave the medication . So the word donation is really not the case it is not a discreet payment and the amount is clearly visible to the vet that you have donated , it is natural to wonder why this is isnt it ? After all the vet is there to treat your pet and seeing as this is a charity cliinic designed to help those without the means to pay quite why the amount you donate should be clearly evident to the vet is indeed questionable . People that attend clinics such as these are often embarrased that they have not the funds to look after their pet , why then make this more embarrasing by publishing the amount donated by that person to the very vet treating the persons animal , that is without doubt quite quite wrong . You can only conclude that the donation being showed to the vet may indeed detract from any treatment you may receive .

A huge THANK YOU to Manor Vets who have been absolutely fantastic. We first had to rush our cat…read moreIfrit to their 24 hour service a few months ago and were so kind and understanding when I explained my situation (not only a poor student but a poor disabled student relying on public transport) and let me work out first bus I could get to get Ifrit seen ASAP. Recently had to return to Manor Vets Edgbaston as it appears Ifrit has cystitis again and they're currently processing his urine samples today - a rush to make sure no underlying problems! By phone they are incredibly kind and patient, very understanding, and gave me numbers for the Cats Protection and Friends of the Animals for badly needed help with the cost of vets consultation and neutering fee for which I am incredibly grateful for. Some vets can be quite snobby and look down on lower-income people, but this recently refurbished state of the art veterinary practice is far from snobby. Treats were provided for the furry patients which helped Ifrit relax in the waiting room, and everyone there was definitely a pet person, creating a calming, warm, welcoming atmosphere. They've also given brilliant advice on foods that help his condition and it is little touches like that make me so grateful we chose Manor Vets.

Ashwood Veterinary Clinic is my go to vet in the Sutton Coldfield area. Ashwood has a small clinic…read moreon Holland Road, a quick walk from town centre, with their main surgery located 2 miles north in Four Oaks. The local Sutton clinic features one veterinarian, nurse, and office manager. Even with a small staff, the hours are impressive. I've typically been able to call their office in the morning and get an appointment for our dog the same day. The clinic has also been able to rush documentation for a pet passport so that our dog could visit the European Union with us. The staff are very professional, and the prices quite reasonable. Dr. Simon Perry is amenable and funny, and really cares about your pet. I can rest easy, knowing that our dog is looked after by such an excellent veterinary clinic.

The waiting room is pleasant, clean and tidy with plenty of leaflets, pet toys and foods to browse or buy. It creates the perfect first impression. The receptionists are equally lovely, putting the customer at ease whilst making a big fuss of the patients. The vetinary nurses and the vets are just as kind. It seems it is their policy to be animal lovers first and pet care professionals second. Whilst a trip to the vets is always stressful for animals and owners alike, a visit to Ashwoods is as pleasant as it can be. I can't recommend it highly enough. The only downside is that the car park is rather small, making it tricky to manoeuvre your 'ambulance'. Off-site parking is pretty tricky too as Ashwoods is on the main Lichfield Road.

You've seen pushy mums, you've seen cat ladies. But what to do when you've married someone who…read moremanages, where kitties are concerned, to combine the two? My wife adores our cats, but the love comes at a price - endless, and perhaps slightly irrational concerns over their wellbeing. It's a sympathetic surgery, then, that is able to walk that fine line between getting vets' jobs done and accommodating a pet owner's protective streak. Lydon was absolutely perfect when it came to having our female kittens spayed, talking us though the process and even patiently permitting us to rearrange the appointment when owners' cold feet sowed needless doubts over whether the cats had finished their season (potentially complicating the spay procedure). The truth is, Lydon takes as much care over humans as it does its furrier customer base.

My cat is very dear to me and no, I don't have munchausen by proxy, but I do get a bit worried there is something wrong with her when usually everything is a-ok. This is the vet my family and I have always used since we moved to Birmingham. They really do care about your pet when you bring them in and as it is a very stressful experience for your feline friend they try their best to calm them down once on the vets table. They're always very helpful and instead of giving you a list of about 100 costly things your pet needs they tell you what is essential and what you could do without. Turns out even the essential things can cost a bomb though. My favourite thing about this place is that when your turn is up they call your pet's name. 'Is there a Fluffy Smith waiting?' for example.
