The nurses, receptionist and doctors working at Medivet clinic in Leigh are a great example of friendliness, professionalism and care. They have always taken good care of Minnie and they are super helpful when I had to ask for appointments to be rescheduled or more clarification. A special thank to Viki and Iris for looking after Minnie, we are both super grateful. I totally recommend this clinic.

Quality pet-care of the finest. On my latest trip, Laura really took great care of my two cats during their check-up and answered all of my questions.

The reception team were incredibly helpful and friendly, helped me register so I could have my dog assessed as soon as possible. The vet herself was really welcoming, knew the breed well and was reassuring with a treatment plan. The whole experience made me glad I picked this vet when I had just moved.

We have a rescue dog who is very anxious, and the team here are always so wonderful with him. We always book in with Iris, who is absolutely amazing and helps keep him calm — he is much less stressed with a lady vet. Vicky, one of the veterinary assistants, is also so lovely and caring, and our dog absolutely adores her. The receptionists are fantastic too, always friendly and welcoming, and they really put your pet's wellbeing first. We're so grateful for the kindness and care shown every visit.

Annual check up for our lovely Labrador Elka. She is so happy going in to the vets and is always made a fuss of. When having her injections she was such a good girl, and this is helped by having a wonderful vet, Nuno. He is so good with both animals and owners putting everyone at ease. The reception team, are always joyful and give you a warm greeting. For us it is like popping in to see family.
