My German shepherd was 13 yrs old and suffered from paralysis in his hind legs. Today i took the awful decision that it was time. They were brilliant. The receptionist, the nurse and the Vet all took time to make sure my decision was sensitively and professionally handled. I will always hold them in my heart.
Recommended for male cat neutering. If not already "Avoid lifting your cat" needs adding to their after neutering do's and don'ts list.
Harrowing and distressing. Having been a dog owner all of my adult life, I have had a few dogs put to sleep which is always very sad experience. Yesterday, we had to have our 15 year old beauty put to sleep. This was the worst experience of our lives. We were asked to leave the room, whilst the cannula was put it. We spent, what seemed like an age, possibly 10 mins, listening to our darling dog screaming and stressed, which was so upsetting. We were then called in to the room, saying they had to sedated her as they had been successful in getting the cannula in. Surely, they should have sedated her right from the start. The vet was intent on telling us about her aunt, who had recently died, which we thought totally inappropriate. Basically the last 10 minutes of our dogs life, prior to the sedation was extremely stressful and terrifying for her, without us present to help calm her . We feel we have done our dog an in justice, which has scarred us both. Seems a complete lack of empathy by both the vet and the nurse and our feeling's were not taken into consideration. We are happy to not have to use this vet again.
Fantastic very good Sue the receptionist was great very friendly and help full i phoned a few times to ask questions and she helped me and Jack my JRT every time and the vet Anishka is very good very friendly very helpful answered all of my questions and was really good with Jack to brilliant will be staying with them for the foreseeable future.
Extremely good vet's. The vet was and receptionist/ nurses are all very professional, kind , knowledgeable and accommodating. We live in Stony but are sticking to Hampden as we are VERY happy with the practice
My dog has a very nervous disposition. Upon arrival I was handed by a member of staff a herbal wipe to tie on Dudley’s collar to help him, I thought this was very sweet. The vet was absolutely fabulous, he spent an inordinate amount of time getting to know Dudley and making him feel calmer. I was given sound advice and would definitely recommend this practice. I’ve been coming to the practice for the last 15yrs and it has improved extraordinarily.
I was concerned when I looked through the reviews of this veterinary practice before approaching them for some help I needed with my dog Poppy. Looking at the dates on the reviews, they all seemed very old so this made me wonder if it was just people taking the time to leave their bad thoughts, nobody taking the time to leave good!! I went with my gut feeling & I’m so pleased I did. I initially called & booked Poppy in with Sue, who was very warm hospitipal. On the appointment day, I was greeted by a receptionist Gemma & we also met Sonia who was a nurse there. All very nice people & very professional I found. Poppy seemed so happy & relaxed when I collected her, all staff where doting over her so she was clearly in her element too. Poppy & I needed to come back for another appointment where we then met the receptionist Kerry & Brad who was carrying out the operation on Poppy’s tooth. Again, both Kerry & Brad were lovely & went above & beyond for us with Poppy’s tooth extraction. I can honestly recommend the Best Friends Vet Group Shenley 100%. I certainly wont be using any other veterinary practice. Thank you Team Best Friends Vet Group Shenley
Amazing place. Not at all over priced. The staff are wonderful and very caring. My cats have been there and were not bothered about a second check up. Animals are the best judge of character. I refuse to take my babies just anywhere. 100% the best place to take animals if you are at all worried. My Stanley was neutered there an it's was like nothing happened a few hours after. No bleeder or stitches on view. Perfect work. Thank you. X
