My dog was very nervous even though she is a German shepherd, the vet was very relaxed took her time for our dog to settle, went down on the floor and allowed dog to take her time to go to her. It demonstrated that she was working at the dogs pace and comfort.

Hannah was great with my dog Buddy and no complaints there, as always .... The bill was expensive, I'm a 80 OAP, Have to think twice about visits to the vet, which is a worry.

We arrived slightly earlier than our appointment time.
Nick was on duty, and as unusual was an absolute credit to both himself and your company.
He invited us in and gave his full attention to our Lily Rose.

We have had our pets registered with Hockley Medivet for quite a few years now.
Nik and Ella have always looked after our pets and we cannot fault the care that they give them.
The customer service team are always welcoming as well when we visit.
