We spoke to them and they fitted us in short notice even though we're not local and therefore not registered. The most knowledgeable vet nurse I've ever known and so helpful and kind, thank you so much!

Well run and professional. Not part of a chain. All the staff are vets or veterinary nurses or similar - no receptionists or admin staff; so very knowledgeable and experienced. They clearly care about the animals and know what they are talking about - I was impressed.

Nice and welcoming creatures doctors. Lovely friendly and experienced staff. Comfortable waiting room and even a garden for energetic pets. Also a little car park which is handy! My cat Theo has had a busy year with moving home and bereavement but at 13 and according to Mrs Darling, he's fit as a (he doesn't have any) flea! Theo agrees and he's looking forward to his next checkup.
