Our dog is on the plan for regular worming and flea treatment. We also have a 10% discount on any future treatments. The staff on the desk are very helpful. The vets and vet nurses give great service and advice.

Having worked with animals, cared for them and had pets all my life (sixty years of it) I've met some amazing "animal people". Farmers, vets, pet owners ...whatever. But it is the team spirit, the fundamental philosophy of the staff at Village Vets that make it special. In just over a year since losing one of our four dogs, we have lost another, and a third has had to have an eye surgically removed.Yet, the warmth and friendliness, the professionalism and the fact that they have so much "time" for owners and most importantly the animals makes "Our vets", unbeatable.

I took my 2 puppies for their vaccines and found the staff to be very friendly and my dogs were treated like royalty😂I have no complaints and if I could I’d give 10 stars.

We haven't used this vet for very long but they are honestly the best team I have ever come across. Unfortunately circumstances meant we had to say goodnight to our cat in September and our dog just a few days ago. So our visits to the vets were all very upsetting. The vets were so kind and patient with us and our pets. They listened to us and I can't fault them at all. I just received the most beautiful letter from Lauren with prints of my lovely dogs nose boop and footprints and I actually can't express how much I appreciate this extra mile gesture at such a difficult time. Thank you all so much.

Absolutely amazing vets - the best in the business! We've been taking both of our dogs to this vets for the last few years, and the service has always been first class. The staff really care about the animals, and they always go the extra mile to ensure that they receive the best possible treatment. They've helped us diagnose problems with the dogs, have been very open with us in terms of explaining everything, and have helped us get our dogs back to full health in no time. You can really tell that the staff love what they do! We wouldn't dream of taking our dogs anywhere else. Highly reccomend!
