They looked at my dog several months ago after a lump appeared on her side and many smaller lumps appeared all over her. They told us it was likely cancer and that we would need a biopsy. They also did a blood test and found cancer. cells in the blood but they felt that we must work on the lump. We questioned why it would be good to biopsy before just removing the lump and They told us it could make the cancer worse if they didn't biopsy first. The biopsy was done and 3/4 of the lump removed. Of course it was cancer so they now prescribed another operation to remove the remaining 1/4 of the lump. It was just a way of manipulating 2x operations out of us whilst completely disregarding my 13 year old dogs well being and best interests. We sought a second opinion from another vet who advised us there was no real point in the second operation or even in the first that we had had. The cancer was everywhere and picking at one little bit of it wouldn't help. It would just be unnecessary suffering for my beautiful dog. Pepper died this week from complications with her liver, due to the fact her liver was infected with cancer. Ive lost my shadow, ive lost one of the most lovely personalities i have ever known. Gkg were only interested in lining their pockets and prescribed operations that simply added to my dogs pain and suffering. There was no point working on the lump, it was already in her liver at that time and probably everywhere else. Go to Berkshire vet instead or indeed try any other vet. Don't go to this one they are heartless, and cruel, willing to be put an old dog through unnecessary discomfort and pain in order to get some money in the till.

I just have to say a big thank you to all at gkg vets Newbury... we sadly had to say good bye to our beautiful boy Rocco on the 3/1/25 ... the care they gave him all through his short 7 years was just outstanding and the care and compassion they showed us and rocco is just something that we will be forever grateful for. ... honestly these guys will care for your fur baby with such great care . Gkg vets thank you for everything

Been with gkg years and never had a problem until today, we purchased a puppy and took him for his first vaccinations amd found out he had a ear infection, I didnt have the funds to pay that on this day but promised to pay the bill in a few days. The medicine he required was then put back and not given. Its a real shame that money comes first over a pets health and they withheld it until I paid!! Thats disgraceful knowing that he had that infection and withholding it until I paid!

Last year we decided it was time to get our first pet. This is were Dante, our cat, came into our lives ! Being our first pet we put extensive research into finding a suitable vet that was cat friendly. Gkg ticked all those boxes and we found the pet health plan a good investment to keep our little baby (not so little anymore !!) healthy. I was greeted with a warm welcome by the receptionist when I came to register Dante and all the vets we’ve seen have been very professional. Thank for your service, we’ve been customers on the health plan for over a year now.

I have recently adopted a rescue dog who had a long term upset tummy despite my efforts and telephone advice from GKG, they readily registered her and an examination , prescription and new food was advised. Within a few days her tummy improved and she is now doing well A huge weight off my mind that GKG took her on and examined her!........gold stars all round!!
