Got referred to Damien after I took my dog to my vets due to him struggling to walk, Damien saw him that same day explained all the options to me very clearly and performed the surgery all on the same day, we are only 1 week post op now but I have to say Damien and all the team at The Downs did such an amazing job taking care of my dog before, during and after his surgery they kept me up to date with all his progress and I could rest knowing he was in good care. Thank you so much to all of you!

Although the outcome in the end was an extremely sad one for us as a family we can not thank the Practice enough for their care and efforts in trying to help our beautiful dog Buster. We drove down from South Wales after a referral and it was well worth the journey. All of the team are fantastic. Thank you.

I cannot recommend the Downs vets highly enough. We were first referred to them a few years ago when one of our dachshunds needed surgery. All of the team were excellent and she made a full recovery. Unfortunately, she recently lost the use of her legs and we knew straight away where we needed to take her. It was a Sunday afternoon but we managed to get an appointment for Monday morning. Damien was brilliant with her and following a scan he phoned us to discuss options and next steps. She was taken in to surgery that afternoon and we were able to pick her up the following day. All of the team were amazing and nothing was too much trouble when it came to questions and you could just tell that every one of them genuinely cared. Just over 6 weeks on and she is doing brilliantly. We really can't thank Damien and the team highly enough. Thank you all so much! xxx

We visited The Downs Veterinary Practice today after a referral from our local vets. Our 4 year old lab, Winston, has been having seizures and we were advised to get an MRI scan. We chose this vets because of how knowledgeable and kind they were on the initial telephone call, and when we got there, everything went smoothly. The staff were just as kind and caring as they had been previously and they looked after Winston so well! I'm a needy pet owner (they are my babies) and nothing was too much trouble! Jenny, the vet explained everything to us and luckily Winston is free of tumours on his brain so has been diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. The reception and back office staff were also lovely, provided us with information, and even sent him home with special food! You can really tell they love animals at this practice and I would recommend them to anyone! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Damien and his team took great care on Otis, ensuring he was well looked after whilst undergoing major surgery. The follow up is to be commended.

A fantastic practice with superb staff. I cannot fault this establishment. Everyone from the receptionists, to the nurses and to the surgeons are so friendly and welcoming. We came here with our distressed dog needing an operation and Dr Damien Bush talked us through everything, in thorough detail and in layman’s terms as to exactly what needed doing. He and all the staff made us feel so comfortable leaving our beloved dog in their very capable hands. Aftercare is also excellent. I cannot speak more highly of this veterinary practice.

We were referred to The Downs Oct 18, after suffering for years with reoccurring ear infections my poorly pooch had his ear removed here. Damien and the staff were amazing, very caring, totally professional. Fast forward to April 19 and with a weakness in his back legs, a cyst in his spinal cord was detected and surgery again followed. Again they were great, kept me informed on his progress. Such a caring veterinary surgery, highly recommend.

Hated having to leave my dog there for two days. My vets unfortunately don't carry out the surgery needed to help my dog. Very kind, welcoming staff, you can always phone for updates on how your pet is doing. Unfortunately he needs a second surgery but since the insurance won't cover that I have to wait and save. They seem small but have all the state of the art surgical apparatus including an MRI. I think a lot of people get referred here from South Wales as we don't have the facilities here.
