We would like to say a huge thank you for the support and care you have given us and Frank over the last few months, before, during and after his TPLO surgery. As a collective team you have been warming, welcoming and caring, we have found a practice that truly cares! Certainly exceeded our expectations and could not be happier to have Frank in your care. Thank you to Jonathan and the lovely nurses for fixing our house hippo, you have been super efficient and always to hand for advice! Much appreciated! A BIG thank you once again! If we could give more stars we would! Joe, Aimee and Frank

So much better value and customer service than all the other vets we have tried in Essex and Norfolk. Would definitely recommend for a second opinion.

We have taken our three (Four and one now deceased) here for many years now. Everyone of the vets, nurses and front and back of house, are the most caring bunch of people you and your pet could wish to meet. Being independent of the conglomerates, Robert the owner, will always be a vet you'd wish to be able to work with. Wonderful, wonderful, practice.

As every pet owner knows the hardest and most distressing is the final parting with them. This recently occurred to us, however we would like to express our thanks to all involved at the Links wood veterinary practice for their sympathy, kindness and consideration shown, from the final moment and subsequent times after our loss,many many thanks for helping us at a very traumatic time.

I have recently joined Linkswood with my dog River. The reception staff and kind and efficient, the space is welcoming and relaxed, love the sofas! plenty of parking, really positive experience. I have seen two vets, one for initial check up and then a consultation.. both were excellent. Could not have had better care, great explanations and information, proficient, professional yet friendly and so caring. I would recommend.

The kindness, care and compassion here are second to none. Our cats, now aged 14, have flourished under Robert and the team despite having everything thrown at them, from a horrid car accident to minor infections.

My dog Millie gets really anxious in the car and I used to get anxious too just worrying about where I would park when I had to visit the vets with her. Now I've found Linkswood, it's so much less stress on the both of us, even if it is a little bit further to drive to. There is a lovely big car park with plenty of spaces to park, Millie absolutely adores Robert and he is so good with her. Rocky, our rough collie and Vinnie the cat also had good experiences here. Would recommend 100%.
