The Staff were polite and so considerate at a time of great distress having Biggles put to sleep. The whole experience was calm and carried out with the uttermost compassion. Thank you

My greyhound, who is a rescue and a wreck when taken out of her safe environment, had 5 teeth out. The nurse was amazing, cuddled her and she was well looked after. Last time she had an op it took us ages to get her trust, after, but this time no issues at all. Can't thank them enough.

I wouldn't go any where else. They are professional, caring, empathic, honest and are prepared to come out in the middle of the night in emergencys. All the staff are friendly and helpful. . And guess where I am off to this evening for a couple of Pug boosters...you got it in one.
