Since adopting 2 kittens 6 months ago James has been their vet. He has done their neutering and taken care of their other health needs and is great with them and gives good advice. Appointments are quick.

Dr James treated my cat, Button. Today, following an illness, she had had enough. He made the process very gentle and humane. Most of all, it was peaceful. Dr James appreciated that Button was family to me. Thank you so much.

I had 3 very sick cats recently who all got very sick with flu. One of them ended up critical with pneumonia, I brought my gossin as I call him to James who was so very nice and approachable, and James went above and beyond with his treatment and care for a full week, and thankfully my beloved cat has made a full recovery. I can't recommend James and his team highly enough for curing my beloved little cat. The receptionists their are also very nice and friendly.

Have been attending James for veterinary services and Chloe for grooming over the last number of years.Along with the receptionists and other staff it's' very obviously not just a business to them. They take the time to get to know both pet and owner very well. The practice is welcoming and James is highly competent, practical and always adds a bit of humour to the visit. He takes the time to explain procedures etc to the kids who hang on his every word. And our shihTzu Daisy skips into Chloe who always makes her look like a catwalk model. She even sings to her while working her magic! Thanks to all at Crandara for always going above and beyond

I would give 10 stars if I could. James has been our family vet for as long as I can remember, from when my dad was still alive. He cared for every dog my dad owned(3) and saved one’s life after being hit by a car by really devastated my elderly dad, james saved his life and he made a full recovery. James has now looked after my beloved cat Timmy for the past 9 years. His compassion, dedication, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I love bringing my son with me( timmy is his cat) and he lets my son listen to timmys heart beat and give him lots of tips and advice. I trust james completely and wouldn’t go to anyone else.He is a brilliant vet , incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and so dedicated to the animals he cares for. I am very very grateful for all he has done for us.i trust him 100 percent and i highly recommend james and his team. :)

All of my pets have been cared for by James and his team, and I can't speak highly enough of the care and dedication of them all. I have seen James go above and beyond for my animals, and I have the utmost trust in his skill and professionalism. My youngest cat has recently been spayed, and and I cannot recommend this service any higher. The aftercare is second to none.
