“Polite and good sense of humour”

“The communication and service at this vet clinic were excellent. I phoned up and was given an appointment the same day to get my Ragdoll a booster shot. The staff were lovely and friendly, and they took great care of her. Many thanks!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Alfie, our 12 year old cockerpoo, had both cruciates repaired by Charlie at Oakwood Vets in 2024. The care he received was second to none and he’s back to being a happy little boy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charlie and the team at Oakwood vet referals.”

“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.”

“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”

“Took my dogs to be vaccinated at Grappenhall Veterinary Centre. Greeted by lovely pleasant staff on reception, the surgery smelt lovely when I walked in and was so clean and tidy. Alexa the vet was amazing in the consult and put my mind at rest- we think one of my dogs has a little heart issue and she reassured me on how to treat her going forward. I have complete faith that she will guide me through the next steps and I know that she is in safe hands. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alexa and her team :0)”

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

“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.”

“Great vets, always look after our pets brilliantly”

“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.”

“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 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.”

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

“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.”

“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).”

“Friendly, professional and knowledgeable as usual. Date of visit 1/7/2025 with Hunter for annual check up and injections.”

“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”
