My dog Lyla isn't a people dog usually but the vets there have a fantastic rapport with my sometimes grumpy French bulldog. Excellent staff, and if your dog is insured with some insurers, you don't have to pay the full bill and be reimbursed by your insurer later, you'll just pay your excess they'll handle the rest. Very good vets very nice staff.

My 2 dogs are beautifully cared for by an amazing team. My older dog is almost 16 and requires a little more attention, which she receives at just the right level. I have complete confidence in the care my dogs receive

Exceptional service from BuchananVets in Timperley. After having a cruel service from Vets4pets, I asked my dogs breeder for the vets she uses and I have been so grateful I registered with them straightaway. I soon realised that the positive reviews were genuine and very true. My breeder had strongly recommended Simon and I am so glad I took her advice. Simon, Clare, the nurses and even the receptionists, are so kind, helpful and can see they truly love animals, something I haven't seen nor felt before with previous vets. They dont just do their jobs, they enjoy what they are doing and they are naturally passionate and loving towards animals. I would strongly recommend them for surgeries, vaccinations and anything else and I wouldnt trust any other place. Plus their prices are reasonable so can't even think of anything negative to say. Thank you for your services 🙏

Excellent and easy appointment for my boy's health check and annual vaccination yesterday. Simon takes the time to put him at his ease before doing anything more. Been with Buchanan's 20 years which has to be a recommendation in itself. All the staff are friendly and kind. Thank you.
