Fantastic vetinary group, we have only recently moved over and are delighted with the service. Had one young dog neutered a few months ago which went swimmingly. This weel we had a very unfortunate emergency trip with another dog where he lost a few teeth after a tractor incident...fantastic service, put the dogs needs first, reassured me as much as possible and they were amazing at keeping me up to date and giving our dog all the love and care he could handle. Very reasonable pricing too which helps soften the blow! Lovely team from receptionist, nurses, vets and anyone in-between.

Great staff. Very attentive and caring. Would highly recommend. Max had a great time which feels weird to say about visiting the vets! Ash also says thanks for taking care of him on his recent visit!

We joined during a medical emergency for our Border Terrier. Greeted by a friendly and professional receptionist Kelly and found the vets Niall and Patrick excellent. We immediately felt our dog was in safe hands and follow up advice was there when we needed it. 10/10
