Last January you quoted 200 pounds to have my cat put to sleep. A disgrace. I think we are paying for all the work medication do in Africa, or wherever.

Very disappointed with this Vet practice. I had taken my exotic cat there for a blood test and was impressed how they managed without much problems. Our cat had been loosing quite a lot of weight and has become very skinny. Having gone through several blood tests with no dignostic we suspected it was because he was not being able to eat properly. So I booked his third dental clean and he is 13 yrs old now.. We went to the assessment prior to the clean which is done under anesthetics. The vet offered a appointment at the time chosen by him and we were given the usual recommendations for no food after midnight and tablets to give before the appointment for the actual clean. We followed the instructions and arrived there on time. We where charged £908.40 for the service which they asked me for half of it before the procedure. We were told that our cat would be finished by 5 pm and that they would call us as soon as he was out of anesthetics to let us know everything was alright. By 4 pm I had heard nothing from them and called only to find out that nothing had been done, the poor cat was still in his crate without nothing to eat waiting when they would do the clean, possible not the same day and nobody bothered to inform me. When complained, they claimed they had an emergency and could not perform the clean as planned. My complaint is: - They were very fast to take my money for the job, but couldn't be bothered to inform me that my underweight cat was still siting in a cage without eating? When I found out, I went there and brought my cat back home and asked for a refund which took 2 days to be made. I would not recommend anybody who cares about their pets to go anywhere near these people. Not the kind care you expect for prices charged.

Great practice, the reception team and all the nurses are so friendly and helpful. Love that you can book online now too. As much of a great practice it is I've only given 3 stars because there is one vet in particular that when you see them they don't look at you, I was in recently with my dog who was unwell and the vet was looking at a poster on the wall while talking and not to us. I've had a few bad encounters with this vet in particular and it puts me off as soon as I see we have them. No real answers given to the treatment being given and why and also made us feel like it was our fault.
