My boy was having cluster seizures and our local vet had recommended stansted vet specialists. I was skeptical at first because champ is our very very much loved pet and going somewhere you have never been before causes worries. The moment that we walked in the ladies on reception where very polite and offered tea and coffee or water for us. Then when rachel called us in, and as soon as she started speaking me and my mrs knew straight away champ is in the right place. She has so much knowledge about dogs its incredible. And also care. We had to leave champ there over night and i am so sure that stansted vet specialists looked after champ as if he were one of their own pets. Champs blood test and mri scan results where very good, unfortunately he does have epilepsy but no tumour or inflammation, thank god. When we went to pick him up rachel was so informative and such a smiley person. She explained everything to us really well. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please guys. Honestly, if you ever need the best of the best do not hesitate to take your loved pets here. And i know its not always about money, i will give the world for my boy but the prices and the care you get is unbelievable. Well done guys. Champ is now sleeping in my arms like a little baby ❤️❤️😄😄😄 Just a quick edit. Because of stansted veterinary specialist quick diagnosis and care my boy is so much better now. He is adapting to the meds and its only been a week. Thank you so much guys for giving us the best care.

Our dog took a big fall from a tree in the summer and we took our dog Bandit here. The facilities were great and the team were lovely. Really helped with the recovery of Bandit who is back to his old self. I don't think we'd be as lucky as we were with the dog without their help.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the vets and the entire team for the incredible care you gave to Amber. She came to you extremely unwell, and at one point, I truly didn’t know if I would see her again. You worked your magic, and now she is back in my arms with her beautiful puppies. The care you gave both Amber and us made me feel she was in the very best hands possible. Everything was explained clearly and with kindness, which helped us understand what Amber was going through. You always took the time to talk to us about her condition and her care, and that meant more to us than I can put into words. I will always be truly grateful, and I would highly recommend you to anyone with animals. You can see how much you all love your jobs, the long hours and dedication do not go unnoticed. I often saw the same familiar faces and wondered if you ever had time to go home! That level of commitment is truly amazing. Thank you as well to the receptionists, who were so kind and supportive during such a worrying time. Everyone in your team is amazing, and we cannot thank you enough for the care and love you showed Amber . Thank you Theresa Willis

We cannot thank the team at Stansted Veterinary Specialists enough. From the time we walked through the doors, after being referred urgently by our local vets, to the time we collected Margot the following week, we felt heard and cared for. Siobhan and Julia, on reception looked after us, kept us calm and informed and talked us through the insurance process all with a touch a humour that provided much needed laughter. El rushed in to consult and examine Margot on her day off and took the time to explain everything in detail to us, she then performed emergency diagnostics and spinal surgery - calling us during and after the procedure to reassure us and keep us in the loop. The care Margot received all weekend was exemplary and great attention was paid to making sure her existing allergies weren’t exacerbated. Ines, met with us on Monday and walked us through what to expect during the recovery phase and demonstrated the physio and manual handling required to help assist Margot’s recovery. Everything was done without rushing and ensuring both Margot and ourselves were happy and comfortable at all times. Margot has continued to recover well and we are amazed at how great she is, as normally she is very ill after surgery and she usually reacts to anaesthetic. We are so happy and want everyone to know how amazing Stansted veterinary Specialists is!!!

When Hattie needed a knee operation our vet recommended the specialist Darren Barnes. From the moment we walked in we found everyone so friendly and helpful and Darren was patient and clear in explaining exactly what was needed. We were regularly updated during Hattie's short stay and we felt fully confident she was being cared for by people with amazing skills and kindness. After surgery her recovery was so swift it seemed miraculous and she is now running and playing just as before. SVS is truly impressive in every way. Thank you all so much for everything.

We can’t thank the amazing team enough for the care, compassion, and expertise they showed our much-loved Molly during one of the most difficult times we’ve faced as pet owners. Not only did they provide exemplary medical care, but they treated Molly as if she were their own, showing such thoughtful attention and tenderness every step of the way. What truly stood out was their consistent communication and the time they took to keep us informed and reassured, even when it was clear they were extremely busy. It never once felt rushed – just genuine and heartfelt. While the whole team was outstanding, we want to extend special thanks to Rachel and Darren, whose kindness, compassion, and professionalism were simply exceptional. Their care made all the difference, and we’ll never forget the way they supported both Molly and us.

Amazing! Great Vet Darren really looked after my dog with a dislocated hip. Was clear on everything he was going to do and I felt my dog was in very good hands. Went above and beyond to reassure us. He really understood how much our 15yr old dog means to us. Our insurance claim was processed very quickly, Thank You!

We are so grateful for the wonderful efforts of everyone in the team. They really made not only us, but more importantly our precious pooch, feel so comfortable. The staff are incredibly outgoing and friendly and we can’t thank them enough for looking after Coco throughout her surgery and the days after.

I don’t think 5 stars is enough for this incredible place. My 7 month old German shepherd broke all of her metatarsals in a freak accident and her normal vet could not perform the surgery due to the complicated nature of the surgery. I was referred to Stansted veterinary specialists and from the moment we arrived we were greeted with warm kind people who were incredibly affectionate and attentive to our dog we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog and today she had her surgery performed by Francisco. Francisco and the team have been amazing updating me multiple times a day they genuinely care about the animals and honestly I can’t thank them and recommend them enough ! Thank you Francisco and team ❤️
