Never in my life have i ever seen such a terrible animal veterinary. We brought our dying small dog over to them in hopes she will make it, but it seems they dont know how to stitch or seal a wound/ puncture wound. After our angel stayed their over night, we were told we can bring her back, but after i seen the work theyve done, i was in utter shock as to how bad of a job they did. The puncture wounds our dog had, havent been sealed. later on our angle bled out in our home. I then called and drove over to them as fast as possible to see if they could do anything at all, but the people their which i wish i could call all types of slurs just said with a straight face 'welp we cant do much about that' and walked back inside without a care in the world. If i could i would do whatever i can in my power to shut down their business or even sue the living hell out of them. But what can a 17 year old do? so i did the smart thing and decided to never go back to these greedy people who only want money.

If you are looking for a professional veterinary look no further. I took my 4 year old dog in for an emergency C section over the weekend. Staff at orchard looked after my little girl as if she was their own and within a few hours she was out of surgery and on way to a full mend . She delivered 5 beautiful pups under the hands of Connor and his trusted female colleague ( I apologise as her name escapes me). I am very grateful for everything they have done and I am especially happy with the price they gave me for such a big operation (compared to scandalous prices you would pay in parkland) . Thanks to all the team in orchard veterinary centre.

Absolutely amazing vet. Had my dog here over 3 weeks ago as my dog was poorly. They kept hwr over night and had to perform surgery the next morning . Staff are so friendly and I felt so at ease leaving my dog.

Took dog here last Saturday evening as it was unwell and bringing up white foam. The vet said there wasn’t much wrong and gave the dog an injection costing £110. The next day the dog got worse and they couldn’t see him again until Monday. I asked if it could be anything life threatening and was told no. My dog then died a few hours later??
