Cost charged by Medivet for an Animal Health Certificate is obscene, particularly for those already paying £17 per month. This is no way to treat your customers.
Andre the Vet was fantastic.

Andre was very kind and helpful in explaining
Basils problems.
His explanations could have been more succinct.
We asked him for the recommended steps for Basils recovery be written down and he obliged us with a hard typed copy which was most helpful.
We’ve seen Andre before and he is welcoming and friendly .
