Pets in Reading

“We went for an open day. Viewing the facilities which include a gym, swimming pool, croquet lawn, restaurants - it’s a fabulous setting in the river. The open day gives you a chance to see what you can have for a yearly membership. You can also book the venue for weddings and/or parties . It’s a beautiful venue”

“We came for afternoon tea today with my girlfriends. This was my second visit for afternoon tea. The food is delicious! The sandwiches are filled well and very tasty, The scones were fluffy and light. The desserts delectable. This really is a hidden gem for afternoon tea. I often have afternoon tea in London and this is definitely at that standard or better! Fabulous service. The staff are polite, helpful and really make this a 5 star experience. We will definitely be visiting more, especially as I now know that I can bring my dog in the Bar area and have afternoon tea or a meal there. Full of praise for a well executed 5 star service.”

“Brilliant little find on the way back up north from the coast; lovley menu with items you won't find in the average pub. Food was fantastic, the pork rolled roast being a total hit with me .. this would be our regular if we weren't 3hrs away ..”

“Attended a wedding on Sunday 14th December. Darren was our server. He was very polite, friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and everything was fine. Was more than happy to answer any questions we had. He is a credit to Audrey's wood. A great member of staff you have.”

“Found st kitts very helpful, warm and welcoming. Treated my little cat blue very well and looked after her. Issue resolved and one happy better cat”

“If Carlsberg made vets… The whole team at Vets for Pets were fabulous. The help, support and guidance during our pets recent visit was magnificent. How they reacted to something that on the face of it was simple, but turned into an emergency was incredible. Ultimately this made the difference in us being able to bring our dog home. Special mention to the Vet, Dan, who’s knowledge, skill set and overall great character sets him out above other vets we have dealt with. His clear and direct advice made the after care simple. Thanks again for everything.”

“I really like our vets for pets in Bracknell. They are not the closest but I feel they care and they are honest and they show kindness to all pets and their owners. It’s a nice bright large reception much nicer than other branches. We have not needed to use the services other than for puppy checks and vaccinations for three years until recently and I was so happy with the consultation that we got treatment / medication and the practitioner was lovely and so was the receptionist. Fingers crossed we are on for a good recovery now. The costs also surprised me! Very fair and do happy I take out the monthly plan with them which includes a free consultation! Thanks team.”

“I have used Castle Vets for over 20 years. Everyone is lovely and kind and I always feel like they love my pets (nearly) as much as I do! It’s a bit out of the way from where I live now, but I still can’t bring myself to change. My dog might never forgive me!”

“My dogs have stayed at Avalon several times, most recently over this summer. They are fantastically caring at Avalon and understand the needs of my dogs who are of 2 very different breeds. My older boy has been to other kennels previously and never seemed happy then but at Avalon he comes back happy and looking great. They love the staff and whenever we drop off they are both happy to go straight in and greet whoever meets them - I trust my dog’s opinions!! I travel 90 mins from home to take them to Avalon- they really are great. Even got sent a photo to put my kind at rest that they were fine while I was away for a couple of weeks.”

“I had never used this practice until one of my cats was hit by a car and he needed to be seen before my regular vet was open in the morning. The staff were really lovely, kept him comfortable and arranged his referral to a specialist vet for surgery. 100% recommend this practice and my huge thanks to all who looked after Cuddles. He’s recovering well at home now.”

“Got same day appointments on both occasions that my little dwarf hamster was unwell. The staff treated and handled him very gently, and got back to me quickly when I called up for advice regarding his medication. They clearly care very much about their patients, no matter how great or small. Cannot recommend enough!”

“It's taken a few weeks for me to write this after the painful loss of our family dog. But on his passing the vet Clare was magnificent with the managing of him. She made his last moments before crossing the Rainbow bridge, the best it could have been. Thank you Clare and all the team for all the love and care you showed him and us.”

“I want to praise the receptionist, Michele, who could not have been kinder. Also vet, Rachel. It’s an anxious time when your animal is unwell and they really helped.”

“I'm so glad that I have found that place for my business when I'm going away. It's transparent. You get what you can see on the website. It's beautifully built with the few options of boarding. It's very clean, and you just want to sit there and watch all the business having a great time there while under Ashleigh care. One of my bunnies is disabled and Ashleigh managed to make my bunny there comfortable and stress free by adopting the place to her needs. I can't thank her enough. I very highly recommend that place. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Victoria from Grooming Unlimited is an amazing Mobile groomer. We had the pleasure of her 1 to 1 grooming services for our Miniature Schnauzer. Perfect clipper and scissor cut and styling, along with all the grooming essentials. Our furbaby was a very happy chappy. Brilliant communication and a very pleasurable experience with the grooming taking place in the Mobile van in our driveway in Ascot. We highly recommend Victoria and Grooming Unlimited services.”

“Amazing dog walking service. Ness and the team are all so lovely, dedicated, friendly and real animal lovers. Amazing with my dog and we get great photos afterwards on facebook which just shows how much fun our dogs have. Highly recommended!”

“I cannot recommend Reggie's Retreat highly enough! My rabbit, Strawb, had the most wonderful stay thanks to Sophie's amazing care. From the very beginning, Sophie was incredibly responsive and addressed any questions or concerns I had. During Strawb's stay, she even provided updates whenever we wanted to check in, which put our minds at ease. It was clear that Strawb was in the best hands. Sophie's knowledge and love for animals was evident in everything she did. If you're looking for a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your fur baby while you're away, use Reggie's Retreat!”

“Di gives you peace of mind that your beloved fur baby is very well looked after. Our dog was always excited to see!!! Loved seeing the photos and videos that Di would send of Chloe having the best time with her friends.”
