Excellent consultation with an experienced vet who examined this painful condition with the utmost care and kindness towards the dog who was frightened. Appropriate treatment and follow up. As a retired healthcare professional, I am so pleased I am able to take my dogs to this practice.

All the staff are friendly, welcoming and they are reasonable priced. Great with our dog Milo, explaining everything and cost options layer out before treatment. Would highly recommend the practice.

We visited this veterinary clinic for the first time with our puppy, and we were absolutely delighted with the experience. The whole team were incredibly kind and gentle with our dog, and it’s clear they genuinely care about animals. The vet took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we understood each step. We left with great impressions and complete confidence in their care. Highly recommend this clinic!

Our recent visit to Port Chester Vets, went well. A friendly greeting on entrance. We were seen on time and saw a friendly, professional vet, who made our dog and us at ease. Took time to explain her problem and how to deal with it. Gave her the top up jab, and flea and tick tablets. Couldn't have been more helpful. Only our second visit to this vet and are very pleased we joined. Happy to recommend.

Been with Portchester Vets since Bonnie was 8 weeks old. She is now 6 years and loves visiting the Vet. Very welcoming and ca environment. Treated as special and no cause to be afraid. Vets and nurses are confident at their work and very good with customers. Never any cause for concern. Online communication with upcoming dates is excellent. Very professional, exemplary care.

I can't recommend them enough, everyone in the practice has made me feel comfortable in this awful situation and guided me and frank though this hard time 🙂 big shout out to the young receptionist (sorry I don't know your name) and the vets Katie and Alex! Thankyou all so much
