Receptonist really nice... Vets nice... Not happy that they knew dog was coming in to be put down, and had to wait outside because other people was in .... Although they give her something to lie on I had to go and ask for it... It was freezing cold and damp.... People walking by were disgusted... We miss her dearly, and wish the circumstances were better for my baby in her last hour...

Brilliant vets been taking care of my lovely cats for 20+ years and I just took my new kittens. Great service, although think our vet wanted to pinch my kittens as they are so cute 😍

By far the best veterinary practice in the north west and further,I’ve been going there for around 14 years with my cat 🐈‍⬛ Millie and after having not so great visits with other vets Southfields is on another level with great staff,knowledge and patience,i would by far recommend going here.It’s a bit like BUPA for your pet without the price tag. Brilliant in a nut shell.

Southfields looked after our beloved Alfie all his life. The whole team at Southfields including the Staff on reception are excellent. When the time came to say goodbye to Alfie , Lizzie was so caring and compassionate she made a very difficult time bearable. How she dealt with Alfie and ourselves will always be remembered and appreciated. I would always recommend Southfields . Thank you so much , Francis and Debbie.

Nothing but good things to say! Staff were very friendly and welcoming at reception and I've never seen my cat so calm with a Vet before. He has quite an extensive medical history so to see him comfortable with a Vet is massive for him!

Thank you so much for looking after Mabel today for her op. Lovely caring team and service. Thank you to Daniel, he really knows what he's talking about and really cares for the pets he sees. I totally trusted Mabel with him today and I don't trust very many people with her. We have been using Southfields for all of our pets over the years and they have always been so caring and friendly, so thank you from all of them past and present.
