Veterinary care in Bristol

“I am in an unfortunate position where I am losing my home and I was really worried about my two beautiful girls but the staff are being so kind and understanding about how upset I am about not being able to have them and that they would not get the same care and attention they were used to. On arrival the girls and I were greeted by Pat who was not atall fazed by my huge bag of things I had for them and didn't bat an eye brow about how I wanted them to still feel they were part of a family. We were taken to a lovely kennel that was clean and warm and Pat settled them in and I could see immediately she was both a cat lover and understood how to handle them. In the days have been staying they've let me know how they are doing and that they have settled in well and the staff spend time with them and they are seeing their personalities . I am very happy to trust City central cattery with the care of my deeply cherished feline family.”

“Excellent vets - they are so good with my dog who is reactive - they fit round her so the consultation is as least stressful as we can get it. Always knowledgeable and caring and really love the animals - which you can see in all the staff.”

“I honestly cannot fault anyone in the team. Reception have always been friendly and very helpful (and funny!) The nurses we have met have been so caring and the vets we have had consultations with have mostly been brilliant. More than once we have unfortunately needed emergency appointments and we have been seen to quickly. We take our puppy here (who had a very rough start in life and Chloe the vet managed to get her referred to Langford) and we also have had to take our 5 rats here on more occasionsthan I'dlike to admit to! In our most recent visit, Kate (who has always been brilliant), went the extra mile and allowed us to request a specific medication on top of their treatment and has ordered it in for us. We are so grateful for everything they have done and I can genuinely say from our experience, we have never once felt like we have been overcharged for the care/treatment we have been given. Thank you, team...❤️❤️❤️”

“Molly spent 3 days at Hydegate. It was her 1st time ever in kennels but also coincided with losing her life long companion Buster so I was a little apprehensive for her. I needed not have worried, Molly was treated so well & with such understanding of her situation. I cannot praise the staff at Hydegate too highly. They are wonderful.”

“With 2 dogs, 2 cats & 2 guinea pigs you can imagine I’m here quite often! Every time I come in I’m greeted with such kindness and warmth, and each vet and vet nurse I’ve met have been super knowledgeable, understanding and kind. They allow for all questions, always quote ahead of any work or meds that are needed and give multiple options for course of action. I’ve also been to the Redland branch and they’re equally as kind there too. Thank you everyone at Stoke Bishop branch for always being so great with all my animals and with me :)”

“Such a warm and lovely team. Summerview is brilliant. The Doctors Surgery at Vauxhall could learn a lot from seeing how they operate. The staff at Summerview are kind, understanding and welcoming.”

“Our 22 year old cat has a small lump on her bottom eye lid. She hates going in the car and gets very agitated and stressed. I took a picture of her eye and the vet on duty gave free advice that it was nothing to worry about. Our cat has been with this practice all her long life and we have always found them to be first class.”

“A very friendly practice. The staff are always happy to help, they have gotten to know our dog even stopping to say hi when they pass us in the store. Very nice and professional vets practice. Our dog has a number of allergies and the staff here always make a point of asking how she is doing even if she isn't there with us!”

“We had our annual check up for our two dachshunds.. The lady locum vet was excellent with them. Great interaction, and a calm examination. They loved her.”

“I’ve used Rowe vets for a number of years now. Having moved to Wales I will still make the trip to Bristol as the help, advice and care my three dogs have always received has been exceptional. Thank you to the whole Rowe team”

“My cats came home well fed and happy!! What more could I ask for? Lovely setting (and outlook for the cats) and had a reassuring conversation with the owners and staff before I left for holiday. They clearly got to know my cats during my week away and gave me individual feedback. Would recommend.”

“Had an emergency whilst on a hike with my dog and was really impressed with golden valley. They really cared and did everything they could to figure out what was wrong with my pooch. A vet you can trust!”

“Following an escalating series of unpredictable & unprovoked human & canine biting incidents, the last of which was really serious for the other dog, we took the gut wrenching decision to euthanise our lovely 2 year old rescue terrier Harry. We already loved Harry dearly & - I think - he us. He was, 95% of the time, an absolute bright delight, but his rage was coming out of the blue each time & his ferocity had escalated to a point that he was clearly trying to kill. We will never know what awful things he had been through to trigger this periodic aggression, but when the red mist descended, he was a danger to himself, us & any child or dog he met. Robin the vet was amazing, carefully taking us through all our (limited) options on the phone at home after the latest incident. Once our decision was made, he advised on meds at home so we could bring Harry (who could not normally travel in a car or be put on a lead without becoming hysterical) in without any further distress. We were both in bits when we arrived & the receptionists were incredibly kind. Robin showed such compassion & respect for Harry & for us & Harry was never distressed at any point during the final process. If anyone finds themselves needing advice & support in a similar situation I could not recommend this practice, & Robin in particular, more highly. RIP little Harry, our "Ginger Ninja"”

“This practice is amazing. My grandmother is very nervous of vets due to some back experiences in the past. After calling on her behalf of my grandmother, we were seen the same day and with such welcome. The receptionist was great and the vets were just 10/10! Max who is a rescue and normally very scared of people, purred away and seemed very content with the fuss he was getting. I just wanted to thank you all for such service. 5* and I will be spreading the word. -Jasmine”

“My staffy, Harley and PugX, Yaddle, seem to have had a positive experience. We were let down last minute by our regular dog sitter and I called to discuss my dogs and their needs before booking. They were very positive and helpful on the phone, understanding that my dogs have never been left with anyone they don’t know and due to their histories (both are rescues) can be nervous around other dogs. My husband and I both work from home so they’re never alone! We dropped them off and I was so anxious about leaving them but the place was clean and the staff were nice. I collected them today and they were calm and happy. I’m so grateful for their last minute saving the day and will definitely use them again.”

“Very friendly staff, excellent clinicians!”

“We used Deverills cattery for the first time last night and the owner Heather goes above and beyond to make owners feel at ease leaving their fur-babies. Our cat was only a kitten and there was some issues that arose, but Heather sorted everything for us, reassured us and made it clear our pets welfare was the top priority. We wouldn't send our cat anywhere else. Absolutely lovely cattery.”
