I was anxious for my cat. But everything went well he behaved, as everything in the reception area and the consulting room was calming. I would recommend this practice to anyone. So thanks to you all.

Was going to pick up some biscuits for my cat but couldn't get to the surgery in time - Meg kindly offered to internally transfer the biscuits to my closest branch for pickup tomorrow! What fantastic service, thanks again Meg!

Lexi is always kind and lovely with my two dogs catering for their needs while making it a stress and anxiety free experience for the three of us.

A fantastic vet surgery from the minute you walk in. Head vet Lexy knows your companion inside out (as well as yourself) and is the best. The team at the vets from reception,nurses and everyone couldn't be more accommodating. My companion Keeva had to be sedated to have her nails trimmed and it's now quiet that I didn't know she went to bed🤣 highly recommended and we will never leave. Sean

With 2 dogs, 2 cats & 2 guinea pigs you can imagine I’m here quite often! Every time I come in I’m greeted with such kindness and warmth, and each vet and vet nurse I’ve met have been super knowledgeable, understanding and kind. They allow for all questions, always quote ahead of any work or meds that are needed and give multiple options for course of action. I’ve also been to the Redland branch and they’re equally as kind there too. Thank you everyone at Stoke Bishop branch for always being so great with all my animals and with me :)

I was very worried because this was the first time I have had to do this, but it went very well. The waiting area was calm and friendly and the vet was excellent.
