Just received the most thoughtful card in the post this morning containing a heartfelt message and footprints of our dog Ben who we had to say goodbye to last week after 15 years being part of our family. He was slowly declining but took a turn for the worst and the team at Acorn could not have been more empathetic and accommodating.They seen him within 20 minutes of our phone call when our usual vet could not, and treated him and our family with so much care and dignity. The card received today was a special touch, showing they really do care about the animals they treat.

Amazing experience, both doggies were more than happy being there and the staff were genuinely so helpful and lovely. I recently moved and heard great stuff about Acorn House and it’s worth the hype! Very pleasant environment and the kindest souls working there!

I was so impressed by how thorough both Dee & Ash were explaining what was going on with my beloved dog, even drew me diagrams. From the moment they came out to reception to meet us, I knew I was in the right place. The reception staff were also amazing and friendly to both me and especially to my nervous dog. I went to Acorn House after receiving an amazing review for them and can’t recommend them enough.

I can't speak highly enough of Acorn Vet. Both my two dogs, and two guinea pigs are patients of theirs and I wouldn't have it any other way. My big lad has been to several vets because of skin issues and a myriad of other problems he creates for himself, and Acorn have always been incredibly thorough, kind and welcoming to us and the dog. Every issue we have faced has been laid out very clearly to us in terms we can understand. No jargan or pushing for expensive treatments. I really feel that our understanding of the problems and our dog's welfare are the absolute top priority of all the staff at Acorn. Our smaller dog, a dachshund mix, has extreme anxiety with new people, due his being a rescue from a particularly dreary situation. He is wary of new people and can be reactive. He was seen to for a consultation and the staff were so gentle and understanding of his needs. They respected his space and he did really well in their care. Acorn is definitely my highest recommendation of a local vet. Their compassion, knowledge and care is second to none.
