Medivet Cockfosters

I have 2 dogs. Sadly both unwell. These guys have been amazing with helping us get through this. Both dogs are on quite a bit of medication and the staff there go above and beyond to help in anyway they can. I cannot fault any of them. In all my sadness I go in there and we always have a laugh. They genuinely love all the animals that walk through the door. Love everyone in there 🩷💚💙

I regret having to write this review, as I don't like calling people out. However, certain behaviours at this practice need to be addressed especially when pet owners are placing their trust in them to care for animals they love. In my experience, the standard of care here is no longer adequate, which is why my pet is now registered with Creature Comforts, where he has been treated exceptionally well. I had several interactions with a female receptionist who appeared noticeably warmer and more accommodating towards certain customers, while being abrupt or dismissive with others. Consistent courtesy at the front desk is essential as it shapes the first impression of the practice. For instance, when a large Labrador nearly attacked my puppy, she laughed and cooed at the dog, saying, “oh you’re being silly again.” In contrast, when my very small puppy, who was in chronic pain due to a hip condition that had been misdiagnosed by this practice, reacted defensively, she repeatedly and coldly told us that his behaviour was unacceptable and that we urgently needed to see a behaviourist. Beyond this, my experiences with the vets suggested a pattern of avoiding clear diagnosis, which resulted in repeated consultations and ongoing medication costs. For example, when my pet had a UTI we were advised to use anti-inflammatories and return for another appointment, rather than being prescribed antibiotics that would have resolved the issue. Even more concerning was the time my pet’s severely deformed hip was dismissed as a knee problem. By comparison, the vet at Creature Comforts diagnosed the issue during our first visit simply by examining his hip. He was then immediately referred for an X-ray and advised that urgent surgery was required. I am aware that others have had positive experiences at this practice. However, in my case, the level of care was inconsistent, and I am not willing to take that risk when it comes to my pet’s wellbeing.

Always great service and kindness shown to my dog.

Always a pleasure we love all the staff at medivet Cockfosters and they take such good care of both my dog and myself.

My little 11 month old Bichon Amelie was spayed yesterday at MEDIVET Cockfosters I felt so safe leaving my little pup with Livia She is so kind and her genuine love of animals shines through as well as her professionalism The nurses are so sweet and caring too I couldn’t want for a better team Thankyou all at MEDIVET Cockfosters I feel privileged that my fur baby is a patient at this clinic xxxx

Wonderful Practice and staff are the kindest
Best vets in North London ! 😊

Very pleased with surgery, the veterinarian Mr Robert was very caring for my fury son and knowledgeable to my questions, and gave me good tips.

Our 3 dogs are always treated with such love and compassion at Cockfosters practice. Outstanding empathy recently for our large reactive dog who needed anaesthetic and surgery - the vet afforded the time to ensure our dog had the time to be fully calm and sedated before the surgical procedure. Nothing is ever too much for the staff here, they will help in every way and also advise on the telephone whenever we have a concern.

Al the lovely staff are so lovely, always so helpful
