Comprehensive veterinary care in Manchester

“Polite and good sense of humour”

“The most caring Practice, fantastic with my little dog I couldn't ask for more. I have seen everyone there and they are all wonderful, every one of them.”

“Wonderful veterinary surgery with staff who you can see have a genuine passion for animals and their roles. Aside from that they are attentive, professional and punctual. We felt very safe and assured in the knowledge and skills of Paul and his follow up emails were greatly appreciated, because they are so helpful for understanding and for after care. Thank you for all of your kind help!”

“Val and her team have done us proud yet again. From first seeing a lump to successful operation, with histology results, all within two fast weeks. Our Sammy hardly noticed a thing and the old boy is with us for a while longer yet. Cannot thank Val enough.”

“As always, the staff were friendly, helpful and professional throughout our visit. The availability of parking facilities at the .Fairfield consulting rooms is another benefit. The provision of a prescription to suit our specific needs was also appreciated.”

“Everything you would want from a vets. The staff are just so lovely and caring. My little Poochon Claude had an op on his leg, they kept us informed on the day and I felt very relaxed leaving him in their care. Thank you so much for all you have done for him.”

“Great vets, I wouldn't take my birds anywhere else. Outstanding knowledge and practical, caring service”

“Great vets, always look after our pets brilliantly”

“I just want to say thank you to the vets for taking care of my buddy Ozzy on his last night on this cosmic rock. I live up in Newcastle so sadly I was not down here when my parents took him in. However I came to collect his ashes today and it made me happy to see how much the staff cared about everyone’s pals who get brought in and the love they have for pets even if it was a short interaction, I am glad he was in loving hands at the end. Thank you for the card and paw prints too it means a lot to me and my family who are spread around the world who couldn’t be here at this time. I know he visited a few times over the years, he was always taken great care of. Finally thank you for the beautiful packaging of the ashes, I will be taking them up north to the cliffs he was last with all of my family. Thank you again and for anyone looking for the right vets, these are the one.”

“Always grateful for the excellent service and advice given when visiting Broken Cross vets with our dog. The reception staff are friendly and welcoming. (He loves his treats each visit too.) Highly recommended.”

“We couldn’t recommend Ark Vets more highly. From the moment you walk in, you’re met with kindness, professionalism, and a genuine sense of care that goes above and beyond. The whole team is outstanding, but we especially want to thank Dr. David and Dr. Beth for the incredible dedication they’ve shown to our dogs over the years. They always take the time to listen, explain, and guide us with warmth and clarity — no question is ever too small, and you never feel rushed. Their knowledge and clinical skill are second to none, and we’ve always felt completely confident and safe in their hands. Nurse Katie also deserves a special mention — she is one of the kindest, most compassionate people we’ve met. Her gentleness, reassurance, and care have made such a difference, especially during some of the most difficult times with our pets. You can tell how much she truly loves the animals, and that brings so much comfort. Ark Vets supported us all the way through one of our boxer’s chemotherapy — always there when we needed advice or urgent appointments. When he sadly passed, they contacted us personally to offer support, which meant the world to us. On another occasion, they stayed late after hours to perform an emergency surgery, so we didn’t have to travel to an unfamiliar out-of-hours clinic. That kind of dedication is rare. What sets Ark Vets apart is not just their clinical excellence, but their heart. They are skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate. We have complete faith in them, and we wouldn’t take our dogs anywhere else. Thank you, Ark Vets, for everything you do — we’re so grateful.”

“My family have been trusting Holly House Vets to care for our pets for over 30 years. Now I have a dog of my own we have continued to do so and they have been amazing with our little lady Priya. All the staff are gentle and kind to the animals whether they are in for a routine health check or to undergo a procedure which can be a worrying time for the owners. I would highly recommend them.”

“My tortoise had a long beak so making it difficult to eat by himself. I had to feed him by hand, I took him to this vet. The people are very friendly, the lady vet clipped his beak and I am happy to say he is eating really well. One happy tortoise and one happy owner. Thank you so much, this vet is highly recommended by me.”

“I feel confident taking Amber to the the vet. They are always kind ,and listen to my concerns. Most importantly Amber is never distressed by the visit. They are very caring .thank you”

“Nothing but good things to say! Staff were very friendly and welcoming at reception and I've never seen my cat so calm with a Vet before. He has quite an extensive medical history so to see him comfortable with a Vet is massive for him!”

“My cats have been treated at Briar Dawn for 17 years. I was particularly impressed with the care that Posi received on a recent visit. The vet was professional, thorough, patient and kind. She suggested various levels of treatment and showed me how to administer the chosen ear drops. Posi is now getting back to being herself thankfully.”

“Really pleased with the treatment my cat Ares received yesterday. He needed his booster and flea/worming and the vet we saw (I didn't catch her name unfortunately) was extremely kind and gentle with him. She was patient with me too and checked him over when I mentioned a couple of other things I was concerned with. Cost of treatment seems reasonable to previous vets we've visited. The lady on reception was really friendly too. Parking round the rear of the building. Lastly, they have a candle in the reception which is lit if an owner is having having an appointment to have their pet put to sleep, and request soft voices and respect if this is the case. I've never seen this before in vets and thought it was a lovely idea.”

“Excellent Care ✔️ Very clean Waiting Room ✔️ Friendly and Professional Reception Staff ✔️ Friendly, Caring and Professional Veterinarian Staff and Vet Nurses ✔️ Rudi-Blu & Chase ❤️”

“Nice staff very good with my mums dog”

“I have great confidence in Jim Shaw who has been looking after the veterinary needs of our Tibetan Terrier, Betty for the past 4.5 years. I would highly recommend this practice.”

“A really good experience with our cat mischief. Always feel a bit out of place in places like vets but all the staff were genuinely friendly and made an otherwise harrowing experience really calm and chill (as chill as you can be when dealing with loved animals this situation).”

“Just want to say a big thank you to Chloe. I was really nervous about bringing my kitten Kiki for her jabs today because she found her last jab very painful, which was upsetting. Chloe was absolutely amazing with Kiki. Her manner was so kind and caring and she managed to distract her and do the jab without her feeling a thing. I was so impressed and so grateful. A big relief. Thank you so much!! Xx”

“Superb vets - everyone from the reception team, the nurses and the vets do a brilliant job and I feel like they all genuinely care about my rabbits. Great customer service and always available”

“Fantastic vets, very thorough and explain everything to you. Staff are all friendly and it's very clean. Highly recommended”

“Excellent service got us in on a Sunday when our dog fell ill on holiday. All sorted very quickly. Definitely recommend.”

“Called in today with my dog Cody for his Booster and annual health check. We were both made welcome from the friendly staff. Appointment was on time. All good. Thank you.”

“We've just picked our dog Stitch up from her second stay at Springbank Farm Kennels. Can't thank Niamh and the staff enough for looking after her. Thanks also for the little updates whilst we were away. I don't know what magic they weave whilst we're away but Stitch is a fussy eater at home ( my fault for being too soft with her giving her treats etc) but when we come home her appetite is fantastic. We will most definitely be using these wonderful Kennels again and can't recommend them enough 10/10”

“The vets were amazing when our beloved old cat Tilly became ill and we had to have him put to sleep. ❤️ They even sent us a card afterwards. We appreciated their consideration and kindness during a very difficult time.”

“Went with my partner after losing one of our treasures and was overcome with the warmth and understanding with a top 3 service, Wish I had known about this surgery before as I believe they would've saved my cat rather than the loss we have endured.”

“Thank you for taking such good care of our beautiful dogs for over a decade, we're very lucky to have you!”
