I cannot thank the team enough for the care they gave my dog Maya during a very serious emergency. She was diagnosed with a severe closed pyometra and was extremely unwell when we arrived. From the moment we walked in, the staff were calm, compassionate, and incredibly thorough. She was stabilised overnight, carefully monitored, and taken into surgery once it was safe to do so. The communication throughout was excellent, everything was explained clearly, honestly, and with kindness, which made an incredibly stressful situation much easier to cope with. The surgery went well, and thanks to their quick action and expertise, she is now recovering home. I truly believe their prompt, skilled care saved her life. I’m beyond grateful to the vets and nurses involved and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone facing an emergency. Thank you all so much.

Incredible vets. Always very clean and tidy! Jen is absolutely amazing. She is extremely patient and helpful with both dogs, especially the male who has aggressive tendencies. Jen shows so much care and passion, she’s a star.

I am so grateful for Rose Cottage vets. I recently had the vets here remove a mammary mass on one of my rats and I am so happy. Surgery went amazingly and my little girl is recovering well. I was astounded with the price of surgery, painkillers and antibiotics all together was world's lower than I anticipated. So happy, thank you to everyone there 🥰🥰🥰

I want to sincerely thank all the staff at Rose Cottage Veterinary Centre for their kindness and professionalism. Today , I brought an injured wild bird to your clinic. Thanks to your immediate care, the bird received help right away, and I am especially grateful that you did this without any charge. Your dedication to animals and your compassionate response is truly inspiring. I deeply appreciate everything you do to help animals in need.

Our little daxie comes to Rose Cottage for acupuncture to help with his epilepsy. Our vet Joe is so lovely & has really taken the time to get to know us as owners & the needs of our dog; he can be a little spicy with new people especially men, however Joe has a very calm & reassuring demeanour that has earned Peri’s trust - he doesn’t give this lightly! Amazing team. We have also seen Jen during an Out of Hours appt who was equally as lovely. Would very highly recommend!!

I can't express enough gratitude to Rose Cottage Veterinary. Their kindness and dedication are truly remarkable. 7th January 2024 When we faced an emergency with our beloved Yorkshire terrier, Molly, in the middle of a snowy and stormy night, a professional veterinary doctor came to our aid. Although it was too late to save our little angel, the compassion and support we received made that night a bit more bearable. They were there when we needed them most and helped us with Molly's cremation. Thank you for being there in our time of need.
