Ashworth Veterinary Group

Ashworth Veterinary Group is a long-established practice (the website says it has been caring for pets since the 1950s) and is also a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews point to a clinic set up for routine care and family-pet follow-through: annual injections and check-ups, weight and joint-care advice, and breeding-related care such as postpartum checks plus puppy vaccinations and microchipping.

Wow- what a friendly caring Vets to take your dog. Chief hates the vets and it’s a challenge never time! Staff are all pet and human friendly people which makes the experience so much better and everything is explained to you inbetween the barking!! Thankyou - highly recommended

I've been using Ashworth Vets for the past 6 years and I have NEVER had a bad experience with them. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they have always taken care of my cats, even the difficult one. Also, I'm nothing but anxiety and worry and they have always done such an amazing job at reassuring me and helping me when I'm in a panic. Even though I've moved a little further way I will continue to use them. Highly recommended.

Excellent service again this year for Tilly’s annual injection and check up. Advise on weight and joint care. I have been with Ashworth for 25 years. A superb veterinarian practice.

We have been dealing with Ashworth Vets since 2014 when we came to Farnborough, a highly dedicated team of Vets and Nurses who have served our many pets well. Their support team in reception and behind the scenes have gone above and beyond on occasions, especially with dealing with less than helpful insurance companies. You won’t go wrong if you choose Ashworth Vets in Cove (or in Fleet the few times we used them we got excellent service also)

This is such a lovely Vet Practice. My parents have used this vet for our family cat all our lives and took such great care of her and us when she had to be put to sleep recently. Now that I am older with my own fur baby, I take mine there too. Booking appointments is easy, the vets, nurses and receptionist are always welcoming and friendly. They have a vet plan which we are signed up to which gives me peace of mind! They are always so gentle with my little one and I love their little cat waiting area as it is sectioned off from where the dogs sit, making it less stressful for my cat. Amazing job!
