I have nothing to say short of incredible ❤️ We had to take our beautiful boy Chewwy 🐈 to be put to sleep today & whilst it was heartbreaking, Ivan could not have made it more peaceful or been more thoughtful. EVERYONE there was amazing and so kind. Your worth your wait in gold. And the cost, unbelievably reasonable. Thankyou ❤️ Ruth & Dan xxxx

Having had to take our little dog Baillie here a number of times over the last week,We cannot thank Ivan & his team enough for the excellent care they have given him. It was very upsetting to see Baillie in so much pain but he was treated exceptionally well & is now on the mend. Ivan is a very calm,caring person & all of his team are very caring & helpful.Thank you all so much,we are very grateful to you for helping Baillie to get better & cannot recommend you all highly enough.

Have used this vet for over 13 years. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Yes you may queue but you would at A&E and at least that means that the vet is giving your pet a thorough check over. All staff are so friendly and helpful.

We take our cats here. The staff are attentive, and the vets are very good. They work with an appointment system. However, even if you book in advance, you end up waiting for 30 minutes, which is not a pleasant experience.

You can clearly tell Vet and staff all compassionate people who care about you and your pets. Very reasonable prices too.

We have been bringing our beloved Dogs and Cats to Aardvark Surgery for over a decade. The medical care and attention that Ivan and his team have provided has been beyond outstanding. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
