   Avoid! Avoid! On taking my dog for what I thought was an infection on his back, I was very upset to be informed he was in alot of pain and needed acupuncture. I left him, as they could "squeeze the proceedure in that day". It was past closing time and we still hadn't got a call to say he was ready, their answering machine was now on out of hours, so we just turned up. We still had to wait as our dog wasn't awake , so we settled the bill. It was only then, we were told he needed another 5 sessions. This was a surprise and so we asked to speak to the vet for more information. He immediately perceived this as a challenge and rather than explain the treatment which we were dubious about, he ranted about his experience and credentials. We found his manner rude and pompous. He ignored our genuine concerns and stormed off. 3 applications of coconut oil did the trick. I have waited several months to leave this review to ensure the coconut oil worked long term.

   Cooper was poorly for awhile with neck pain, but the weekend before he died, he had deteriorated and weeing a lot and drinking lots of water. I told my husband that he may need a blood test to find out if he got an infection or kidney problems. This was the Monday he had the blood test and said that they will get the result the following day, but Cooper was very poorly the following morning he was shaking so we phoned the vet and said that Cooper was very unwell but they still haven’t got the results back at 3 o’clock. We phoned again and they had the results and said oh it’s okay his kidney function is a bit high so we need to bring him in for 24 hours to have a drip so it was a bit of a whirlwind we took him and they hooked him up that evening. We phoned that evening and they said that he was fine and settled and the following day Wednesday, I asked what was his kidney function levels a dog can be 130 but Coopers was 500 which is pretty high they said it was only a little high the day before So we got a phone call Wednesday evening to say that Cooper was okay. He was very settled but the only thing was he wasn’t eating so I cooked him sausages for him to have which he ate when we took it down to him They also said on the Wednesday that they would need to keep him in for 48 hours to make sure that they had flushed out all the toxin in his body Thursday morning I phoned to ask how Cooper is doing and the receptionist told me he perked up quite a lot that morning and looked a lot better so me and my husband was very excited to be collecting our boy from the vets Thursday evening. Unfortunately that was not the case as he came out of the room. He looked traumatised. He couldn’t see he didn’t react to us calling him. It was awful. We brought him home. He had no idea where he was or who he was with. He was completely blind. My husband phoned the following day to say that he was blind and the reception said well he was a little bit wobbly but he was okay and my husband replied. My dog is completely blind and doesn’t know where he is or who is with. Unfortunately that Friday afternoon we had to take our boy to the vet to be put to sleep which again was traumatic. The first injection put him to sleep and relaxi him the second injection was to let him go and he was gasping, he was awful. The vet had no idea that he was blind And didn’t see that he looked traumatised. The whole experience was unnecessary. They should’ve said the Tuesday when we got the results back with high kidney function level. The kindest thing to do was put to sleep then but no they traumatised my boy for three days put him through distress and discomfort. They knew his kidney levels were too high yet they’re still persist on doing the treatment they should’ve known it wasn’t going to save him or do anything good for him. I felt they did not give us a choice. They should’ve explained on the Tuesday how high his kidney functions were and asked us what we wanted to do. We would’ve asked questions but again they did not give us the choice. They were very sprightly about it all saying that he was going to be completely fine and he was doing really well he was content and settled they lied he wasn’t alright at all he was traumatised!!!! Completely blind and did not react to us at all.

   Brought my pride and joy to the vets to get his castration and a health check. To get him home and a lot of his hair cut off after being told he was matted. Well this is what I take him to his groomer for not the vets. All his hair gone basically off his tail. The thing that has topped it off now is he has fleas. Both of my cats are house cats and have never gone out and other animals don’t come in. There is only one place this could of happen and it’s the vets. I paid near £150 for my cats hair to be all chopped off not even asked and him to have fleas. Unfortunately won’t be using again as it’s a great disappointment as staff did seem nice. I’m now having to go paid extra money for my cats and house to cleaned for fleas
