Pricing

Recent reviews also mention a £56 vet consultation, nearly £100 for a yearly check-up and prescription, and a quoted £75 charge for clipping matted fur. Review comments on cost are mixed, but a few clients describe price as their main drawback.

Tina and Jessica are praised for reassurance and practical help during a stressful cat travel appointment, while Mark and practice manager Christine are both mentioned in negative reviews about communication, handling or billing conversations. One review also refers positively to a female vet a client had seen for several years, but does not name her.

•Many owners describe the team as friendly, professional and helpful, with positive comments about prompt appointments, smooth online booking, easy rescheduling and helpful reception staff.
•Longer-term care is a recurring strength in positive feedback, including support over 17.5 years with one dog and ongoing aftercare after a retriever’s tail amputation.
•A small number of recent complaints focus on communication rather than clinical kindness overall, including one distressing billing dispute after a pet’s ashes were collected.

The clinical staff at this practice have always been kind and caring, which makes this experience difficult to write. Around a week after collecting my pet Felix’s ashes, I was contacted regarding an outstanding balance that I had not been made aware of at the time of collection. On the same day I received three calls regarding payment. During each call, I clearly explained that I did not have the funds immediately but would be able to pay the following week. Despite this being communicated multiple times, I was later spoken to by the practice manager, Christine, in a confrontational and unempathetic manner. I was accused of being rude, and the call was terminated. This was extremely distressing given the circumstances. I raised a formal complaint and the practice owner intervened, acknowledged that normal procedures for communicating about outstanding balances had not been followed, and accepted payment at a later date. While I appreciate that intervention, I was concerned to see reviews from previous years describing very similar issues, including owner involvement, yet the same situation has occurred again. I am sharing this experience so other clients are aware that billing matters may be pursued with repeated pressure and without sufficient empathy or consideration.

Yearly checkup I saw a man this time after 4 years of seeing the lady in the end room who has always been lovely. Not sure on his name but looked like the head vet. I was there for an hour, delayed for 40 mins before having the appointment. I didn't particularly like the way he rushed and dealt with the appointment. Didnt ask any questions like i normally get asked. It was straight on to the injections. Weight and checked her over quickly. My cat had a couple of clumps of fur which normally the lady just clips off in (2 seconds) due to the professional clippers used. I asked him if he could do this after the yearly injections. Response was oh no, I don't have time for things like that, maybe someone else can, just ask reception We proceed with the rest of the checkup put the cat back in and go out, ask reception and pay while we wait. Another lady asked me to go in the middle room, discuss that my cat has some matted fur and she responds with that will be £75. I had just paid nearly £100 for her Yearly checkup and prescription and the man who saw my cat could not be bothered to help me whilst she was out of the carrier having her yearly check up! but now you are quite happy for me to wait further, and charge me another £75 to get rid of a couple clumps of fur. You are having a laugh!!!! Not impressed at all! I will buy a decent clipper for that and do it myself! There is always one person and their attitude which lets the company down and today this was him!
