Good parking area, in handy village location. Small surgery but large waiting room and not too busy. Friendly staff, so good for nervous pets. Best book appointment first.

We recently lost a pet cat and the care she was given was second to none. So caring, so professional and she had a very peaceful end. Her care over the last few years was exceptional too. Sad as the occasion was, not only was the cat cared for but mum and dad too. Such a friendly and caring practice. I can only say thank you.

Nice friendly staff, the ones I've come into contact with as I only just registered our 2 dogs with them. We decided to change vets after reading all the good reviews these vets have, and they are independent. We have joined the loyalty scheme that I think is really good and will save us money over time. Everything looks very good that I've seen, and when I meet more of the team here, I will update

I can't recommend Tony and all his team at Barnhouse highly enough. It's almost 20 years since they began caring for our cats, dogs and even some injured wild life we've encountered along the way. Throughout, Tony's consummate professionalism, clinical excellence and depth of experience have worked to find the very best outcome for our greatly loved animals. I am reminded of the time Tony performed life saving surgery on our cat who had been run over by a car and suffered critical injuries including a broken pelvis. Thanks to his efforts she went on to live another twelve years. Even when the prognosis was not so good we were always made aware of the dangers as early as possible and kept fully informed of the best options for our animal's well-being so that we could make informed choices when it mattered.
