I've been going to this vets with our old lady of a cat for almost 18 years and every time I'm impressed with the level of care and time taken to explain the options. They even have a cat friendly quiet dog free zone in the waiting area for scaredy cats. Would highly recommend to all 👍

They do provide the bare minimum required from my £17.99 per month pet plan subscription, which isn't a lot tbh ... registered with them because they were local to me in Pennington but all their vets seem to be at the New Milton branch, which isn't helpul when your kitty freaks out in the car even when he's not feeling ill !!

Gemma and the team were truly amazing for us as we underwent the devastating loss of our spaniel recently. Nothing was too much trouble and the final moments were handled with such reverence and respect. We didn't feel rushed at any point. After trying everything we could to avoid this, they made the final moments bearable. Thank you so much

My pet was booked in for a rabies vaccine, she was taken by a family member who returned to say she’d had her booster shot.. she wasn’t due this fir 6 months! Vet didn’t check her records! Had to return to have the right vaccine instead. They also gave her flea and worming tablets which she’d also already had. Not impressed at all. If this were a gp surgery they would be in big trouble!
