What People Say About Us

Client Testimonials

What an amazing veterinary clinic to take your pet too. They will make you feel reassured, that you are in the right place to get the best possible treatment possible if needed. On behalf of my family I would just like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for working so hard to get Rosie back to her bubbly shelf, what you have done is amazing and inspiring. After taking her out of another vets who were suggesting the worst we were advised to bring her to you. We could not imagine the hard work and the amazing results all of the surgery staff have done, it’s been great and we couldn’t of asked for anything better, you all went well above and beyond to help us and Rosie and that’s why we don’t mind travelling from Manchester to visit you. We are forever grateful and would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone we know who may need the best vets in the North West!
The staff are extremely professional, skilled and knowledgeable and the standard of care given to the animals is fantastic. They invest heavily in their staff training and equipment and this reflects in the service they provide. They've done 2 major operations on my dog and I wouldn't have gone anywhere else.
Great place, great people! I travelled from Birmingham for my miniature Dachshund to be looked at by the team. I had visited three other vets as my puppy had been misdiagnosed three times previously. My puppy is now up and running and back to his normal mischievous self after the team had provided antibiotics and ran tests and X-rays. I would recommend the team to everyone! Clearly they all love animals and want them to be happy and healthy. Professional, dedicated and very experienced!
Awesome vets. Really flexible and very pleasant to deal with. Would highly recommend.
