During my cat's annual check up I mentioned I was concerned he had lost too much weight. I was told it was fine and he needed to lose more. We were then casually advised to get him plaque off for his teeth. Two months later we had to say goodbye to him. After the fact I found out that plaque off is dangerous for cats with hyperthyroidism (a sign of which is losing weight too quickly) and can exacerbate diabetes. He officially died of uncontrolled diabetes, but had also in retrospect shown signs of hyperthyroidism too. He went downhill so qiickly after we gave him aque off. Please, please don't so casually suggest plaque off. I will forever be heartbroken that the condition we didn't know he had had been sped up by something I was told to give him.

We took our nervous dog who had a painful ear infection. The vet was fantastic. He was compassionate, gentle and very understanding of our nervous dog. He also did not try to upsell anything we didn't need and advised where we could buy ear cleaner online. Thank you to Mr Mossford and the team. I would highly recommend this vet practice.

Our appt today was to review from an initial assessment. We have been so impressed with the thoroughness of the care from Gourley Denton, kind, professional care from Kurt and team. Friendly professional Reception. We have become members at this practice as we are so pleased with their care.

Receptionist was rude and ambivalent. I used to go to the Stalybridge branch and had fantastic service and very friendly staff. Since they closed that surgery I started to go to Ashton surgery. The staff there are never very friendly. I called to order my dogs regular flee tick treatment and asked to pick it up the following day after 5pm. She said she couldn't guarantee it would be ready as a vet had to sign off and they may be to busy. They require 72 hours. What nonsense. Stalybridge would have it ready the same day. She said she would send a text when it was ready. They sent it 3 days later, knowing I would only be in town on the day I asked to pick it up. This practice seems to care less about your animal then they do about overbooking the number of patients. Very disappointed

Took my frenchie on Friday, she has heart failure really bad, saw vet who upped her furosemide and that was it, she rapidly got worse overnight and really suffered while we tried to find an emergency vet to put her to sleep, he must have known she was really bad, but didn't discuss euthanasia with us, disgusted

A few months ago we had an accident with one of our guinea pigs jumping when being carried and falling onto the floor injuring her front teeth. We were really worried about not being able to find treatment as exotic animal vets are difficult to come by, but she was anesthetised and had her front teeth removed at Gourleys. She has since made a full recovery and her teeth have grown back straight with no complications. Incredibly grateful for all their help and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I spoke to Olivia at Ashton to report my missing cat and see whether she had been brought in injured or worse. She was lovely and took my details, made it feel important and was positive about her coming home. She has! Thank you for caring, also the lady I spoke to today was really happy when I reported her found :0)
