Called in to get my second ID scan done for my dog who is migrating to Australia, I spoke to a very uninterested lady who told me is not something they want to do as they only have 1 vet who is able to complete this and they are very busy. She told me that I need to get in touch with the shipping company to discuss the steps, I advised I have already done this but if they are not interested in helping then I will go elsewhere, she said it was for the best. I would avoid using this vets at any costs as they really do not seem bothered to help with even the simplest requests.

My cat had been unwell for a couple of days, but deteriorated very rapidly overnight. I tried to call first thing but lines were busy so I decided to take him in without any appointment. A brief explanation to the receptionists and Big Bob was immediately seen by vet Beate. Bob needed in patient treatment and I collected him later that day. The support Bob received was superb. Straight to consultation; no question about not having an appointment. Wonderful help from all the staff. I have absolutely no qualms about taking any pet to this wonderful practice. My thanks to all. Paul Smith.
