Xmas eve and I find out that my cat Tiffany had hurt herself, badly. Referred to Kelperland by my vets. Dropped her off and went back home. Hour later I had a call to inform me she had broken her leg. Xmas eve and they were prepared to stay and operate. She was already asleep from the xrays. Met Simon who operated on her at 5pm to collect her. Showed me what he had done in regards to plates in her leg. Took her home. Boxing day I received a call from Simon checking in on her. Cost aside, service has been superb much like my regular vets. What makes it better, as far as I know, is neither of them are part of a bigger vet group. Would highly recommend.

We have used Kelperland since 2019 . We got a rescue dog from Crete and first port of call was Kelperland . Since then our rather boisterous dog , Dimitri, has had three major operations. Cruciate ligaments on both hind legs and a removal of carcinoma on his front leg . Through all this we have had the best care and attention for our dog. I cannot praise the skill and dedication shown by Simon and his team . We will be eternally grateful for the care and attention they have shown ( even when he decides to do his business in the waiting room SORRY 😂. Love and best wishes to you all Jim Catherine and Dimi xxx

Kelperland were so kind and caring during our recent visit there. They suggested making a paw print and keeping some fur of our beautiful cat Poppy, which we hadn't thought of, and was so appreciated. They also sent a see you in the stars card to us in memory of her passing, it was such a lovely touching memorial to receive in the post. Thank you Kelperland for going above and beyond for us and Poppy x.

I was really pleased with the speedy service, after our cat had his tail ran over. Such friendly staff. They treated the cat and he was soon back to his usual self. Very knowledgeable staff and attention to detail.

Very caring and thorough in diagnosing pet health issues and very kind and gentle with treatment when necessary. I have every confidence in Dr Simon and the team. Kelperland has Pet Plans if you're looking for one.

Highly recommend Simon and the team at Kelperland. I have been coming here since before Google reviews were a thing! Simon took over my dog when Mr Cook retired, and his first job was a cruciate ligament surgery and recovery, Simon was so lovely, and saw us for regular check ups during his recovery. The nurses Faye and Lottie have stayed which I also think speaks volumes. They are fair and honest, and I trust them implicitly with my pets care. They run a great pet plan for flea worm and vaccinations which works well and spreads the costs.

Having my first health experience with my first dog was very scary. My dog had cancer from the sun in a very awkward place which meant risky surgery and involved lots of trips back and forth for several weeks. The staff were amazing they helped me through the whole process and Simon and Alex are the best vets in this area for sure. I thought my dog initially had a cyst but Alex identified it was potentially something more sinister at the first appointment which unfortunately was correct. I would like to mention if you see what looks like a little bruise on your dog's skin which develops into a lump get it checked immediately, especially if your dog likes the sun or is from a hot country. My dog is healing very well and the work Simon and Alex had to do during this long operation was tricky with many potential risks but the wounds are so neat and once again I have a happy dog, hopefully now cancer free! Thank you to all at Kelperland for your experience, expertise and for all your kindness. What an amazing outcome! Thank you everyone xx
