Feeling very sorry to come to this clinics, as we being told they have professional exotic VET - appeared they don't have any and have no understanding what they are doing, and their extremely not professional behavior caused shock to our rabbit recovering from paralysis and long stasis, as ...they forced him to eat 3-4 times bigger portion despite he was suffering from Stasis for 3 weeks and this sudden overfeeding could cause him shock and liver damage, and then chasing him to run despite at home he barely could move few meters and was getting tired, and ..'rabbits after being paralysed not aloud to run for at east 2 months (according Google info), as it might affect their immunity and cause another attack on nerve system'. That's what happened, as pet got paralysed in 10 min after being picked up from VET and passed away within few days. Unfortunately, VET Management doesn't see any problem in this behavior which goes against official recommendations, as ..'they did everything right to do their best to (kill) sick pet'.

Lakeview Thrapston took our dog in after his emergency vet appointment. They performed X-rays and eventually had to operate. He came back the same day and is recovering now. The main reason for the perfect review was how human they were. They knew we might have struggled to get the thousands together to pay for our boys surgery but instead of focusing on ensuring they got paid, they made our boys health the priority. If they didn’t have that compassion we would have had to say goodbye to our baby. We had enough to pay with them getting our insurance company to pay directly in any case they were willing to make a plan with me to settle the bill. When I picked him up I was told to pay whatever I could but we had enough in any case. Thank you so much team, you saved our boy and we will forever appreciate everything you did. I was preparing myself to have to say goodbye but you saved him.

We have literally spent thousands of pounds in the last 12 months, whilst the vets are caring the overall experience today when calling was horrendous. My wife called the vets to see if we can get the pet rat looked @ as she had to pick up the children she asked her friend to take the pet down and she would pay over the phone. Rather than listening she was confronted by the person she was talking to and treated poorly. Hopefully the owner will have some decency to call and apologise!

Always made very welcome by happy knowledgeable staff, the waiting area clean tidy and made useful by all the pet toys ,leads collars etc.to keep your pets happy. No problems there but the carpark and outside area could be made a little safer and colourful plus possibly a couple of seats for those with unhappy dogs.. Excellent staff with a massive knowledge and reasonable costs and charges more than makes up for it though...Just an observation not a criticism happy days.

This was my first visit and we were made to feel welcome by the friendly staff. Parking is great. Clean, bright reception area and everyone was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. My dog is nervous at the vets, but even he appeared to be more comfortable and less stressed than when he's been to other practices. Would highly recommend.
