“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!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“I am always impressed with the quality of all aspects of this veterinary practice; the vet nurses on reception are helpful, informed and responsive; bookings are timely and consultations always useful. One of our dogs recently had an operation; the pre- and post op protocols were effective and the operation itself a great success. My thanks to Jamie for developing a really good dependable service”

“Great service every single time from this vets. Bella (cat) always gets seen bang on her appointment time which is great. Friendly staff and just fantastic service.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Our dog had a mysterious limp which turned out to be elbow dysplasia. We had a few appointments with Steve at MVS referred over from our usual vet. Steve was professional and personable, thorough with his assessment and set out a number of options but without pushing any in particular so we could make the choice we felt was appropriate. We’d definitely go back. Shout out to the friendly staff on reception too, who makes things run smoothly behind the scenes.”

“The staff here are amazing, lovely little practice, still fairly new so not too busy. This practice is linked with Ashleigh Vets in Chorlton which is larger, and has a great reputation, they have vets that specialise in exotic animals so they really know their stuff. 100% recommend”

“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.”

“Tameside Vets Droylsden are amazing. We are always given a warm welcome when we arrive. We have 3 furbabies (Cats) and each appointment for health checks and annual vaccination’s go smoothly due to the lovely attention the vet gives to each of them, making the cats as well as myself feel at ease. Thank you.”

“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”

“Best vets in our area. Patient, explain treatments and super friendly and approachable”

“Been taking my very nervous cat here for three years. The staff are lovely with her. Everything runs efficiently and is reasonably priced.”

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

“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”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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).”

“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”

“Freddie our SharPei x Staffie is a very strong boy and can be a bit of a handful as he is not keen on getting his nails trimmed. He will struggle to get his muzzle off (not to bite but doesn't like to be restricted). Debbie was very calm and patient with him throughout the appointment. Also gave us some useful tips on nail maintenance. Very reasonable cost.”
