Highly recommend Abbotswood Vets. The staff here are so lovely, patient and understanding. They were great when my guinea pig sadly passed away and didn’t rush on payment either. Couldn’t fault them at all. Best vets out there.

Id highly recommend Abbotswood. They have always been absolutely fantastic every time we have been in. They give longer consults if needed for anxious pets. I usually see Grace who also opened my eyes to pain trials and how beneficial they are. Hannah and Grace were also amazing when we were going through the diagnosis and eventually the sad loss of my heart dog Hugo at the start of the year. I can't thank the whole team enough for being so supportive through that time. 5* these ladies are fantastic!

We recently moved to Abbotswood vets after reading some very good reviews, and I'm so glad we did. My first visit to them was for a sad reason, my elderly guinea pig was very poorly and unfortunately had to be put to sleep. The vet was absolutely lovely; she gave me a realistic outcome of any treatments we could try and didn't try to push me one way or the other which I have encountered at other vet clinics. She have me time to say goodbye to my piggie and didn't rush me at all. She was very kind throughout the whole thing and made a sad visit as easy as possible. She mentioned at the time that they would take some paw prints for me to remember my piggie which I thought was lovely. A little while later, an absolutely lovely card arrived in the post with not only the paw prints, but a hand drawn picture of my piggie, a lovely message of condolence and a little packet of poppy seeds to grow in the garden to remember her by. So wonderful and caring, it made me tear up all over again, but in a good way! Thanks so much xxx

I was referred to Grace for a pain assessment for my spaniel. What a wonderful group of people! Everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly. And went out of their way to make us both comfortable:)

Wonderful vets, I actually enjoy going! Grace is so patient with my nervous, reactive rescue and is very happy to sedate him for his own well-being and to reduce his stress (and mine!). She doesn’t just care for the dog physically, but mentally too and is very experienced with behavioural issues. Very reasonably priced X-rays and medication. So glad I found this lovely vet.
