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

Lovely caring people to deal with

We had to face the moment all pet owners dread after our lovely dog, Sarah, had a series of fits. We were able to get an appointment after normal times and Paul was so sympathetic, kind and caring and gave us all the time we needed.

A nice and friendly place for your pet and for you. I recommend it.

As always excellent friendly service at the Vet Clinic. Both the reception staff and the vets are very caring and obviously passionate about what they do.
