Year of life with my cat and the vets have been very polite, helpful and professional from the start. Using the app and the monthly care plan is perfectly easy and affordable.

We have been back to see paul again this time it was for millies annual vacation and yet again excellent service from the reception staff who acknowledged me as soon as I arrived and booked millie in straight away. I didn't wait to long to see paul he recognised myself and millie straight away he gave her a through check and said how good she looks he gave millie her vacation with no fuss from her I can't say how pleased I am with paul and the vet clinic staff as no words would do them justice. Thank you so much. Steve Sharon and millie

I took my cat for a check as I have recently adopted him. I saw Paul and felt most confident with the information he gave and his examination of Oliver with an assistant who was very calm and comforting for the cat. It makes me assured to use The Vet Clinic in future.

On my recent visit to your surgery I was greeted by the nurse who made me feel very welcome. She was very helpful and my my little dog feel very relaxed.

Carol Gilmore

My dog had an operation to remove a lump from his leg on the 19th February 26 at the Leighton Buzzard branch. We were kept informed on the day, when he was out of surgery and doing well. The aftercare was superb, we cannot fault it. From the receptionists, to the nurses and vets, they were all amazing and I would certainly recommend them.

I took my 2 year old cat, Barney to the Vet Clinic to have a tick removed from his neck. In fact there were 2 together and were expertly removed by the vetinary nurse at no charge, brilliant. Thoroughly recommended
