Staff are nice and caring, but prices, like at most vets nowadays, are fairly eye-watering.

Victoria was wonderful with how she calmed down our nervous Labrador puppy and made us feel very welcome. Even offering us a cold drink on a hot day. Thank you again for making our pups first day at the vets a nice one!

This was my beautiful Dog Maggie at almost 14 years always loved and cared for. She stopped eating for a couple of days she used to do that sometimes and it was very hot outside but we still took her as her belly was big. We got told for £65 that it’s all age related and there is nothing to worry about. I wanted to get some blood taken but had been told they don’t gave the items to take blood I would have to come back for that for a second payment of £65 + whatever they wanted for the taking of the blood I thought this is just money making tactics but thought I could believe her with the rest 4 days later we had to put our beloved dog down at a different vet in Daventry Medi vet who gave the right diagnosis she had internal bleeding and as it was left to long she would have died during the operation, all I got left now is a box of Ashes, some fur and nose and paw print and the blame I carry for taking her to that vet in the first place ! If you love your Dog avoid at Vet at any cost !

Brilliant, even in these strange times, they stayed late to make sure my dog was OK. Staff here are brilliant.

Not impressed with the quality of the telephone service today. Receptionist was rude and made me feel unwelcome. Like it was a end of the world we wanted to sign up and get our new puppy checked out. Won't be using this vet, which is a shame as we like to use our local services first.
