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.

This is a wonderful vetinary practice and I cannot recommend highly enough…read more Not only have they been consistently good with my pet rats (which a lot of vets do not particularly enjoy treating as they have a lack of experience with them) but they were always exceptionally good with my last cat. She was a rescue cat who had a lot of health problems and they treated her beautifully. At the end of her life she developed kidney failure and we were given the option of euthanising her. I asked if there was any chance of keeping her alive for longer and the vet told me that they could keep her going a few more days but that if it were her own cat, she would put to sleep as the pain and discomfort was so intense that my cat would have no quality of life left. Bearing in mind that the practice could easily have made another £500 for keeping my cat alive for an extra few days, I was incredibly pleased that they chose not to go down this route but instead made the whole process so easy and calming - we really couldn't have asked for a better experience, considering the circumstances. Wonderful vets, wonderful reception staff and a lovely calm, clean environment. Defintiely recommended to all!

Pickle needed to be neutered and they refer animals to the Redlam practice. The staff are very friendly and seem to make a fuss of your pet, which is always nice to see, it gives you the sense of feeling that your pet is in the best possible care. Along with the neutering, we also got him micro-chipped and got them to trim his very sharp and deadly claws. He was all done and set to go within five hours, when we returned, the nurse took us in to a room and explained what they had done and how to care for him, then they brought Pickle in and we were off. The staff are great, they are friendly and understanding, nothing is too much trouble for them and they don't mind you ringing to see how your pet is. I think they threw the claw-trimming in for free, as the bill came to less than we thought. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone, if you take your pet to a vet where you're not 100% happy, then give these people a try.

They are the only vets in the town to have the PDSA facility, where people on certain benefits can register their pets with the PDSA and emergency treatment is then free.
