A fabulous place with a super team. So invested in making a good experience for the animals and so helpful and great for advice and sharing tips. The best is the puppy party which gives a safe space for puppy to socialise and get used to going to see the vet. Such a positive initiative and Bella just loves going and all the cuddles she gets. Can't recommend All Paws Veterinary Hospital highly enough 😊

The team at All Paws are amazing. ☺️💚 My boy had surgery on his leg with them, and they were so kind throughout the whole process. We had to return today for another issue and all the staff in the clinic are just so compassionate and gentle with the animals. My older boy had to have his blood tested and does not like needles, and they were so patient with his giving out(which was extra dramatic in typical Husky style - hope your insurance covers your hearing! 😅) and still spoke gently to him and managed to take his blood - he walked out later like nothing had happened and even wanted to still follow the staff after all the scary needle poking 😂 Having worked in various animal-related industries myself, not all animal professionals are so kind. I cannot recommend All Paws enough, thank you for being so compassionate to your clients 💚 Thanks to their expertise we now know what is going on with our boy and can take the next steps that are necessary. 💚

the staff at all paws took tremendous care of my dog coco and always so kind with him every step of the way sadly he passed 3 days ago due to unexpected circumstances. upon finding out clare was going to reach out to us with all the information she had but i had the opportunity to do in person she was very kind and helped us process what happened. yesterday when i came home i recieved a card from all paws with hand written condolences and praise of how lovely my dog was as a patient and gave us remembrance seeds to plant. was an absolute beautiful thing to have done and me and my family deeply appreciated.

I have a very nervous rescue dog who was scared of groomers. This wonderful team helped calm him and helped us manage his knotty fur. They are super friendly, approachable, take any fear you have away and explain all that is being done. My dog had a couple of other minute procedures but is doing fantastically. Highly recommend.

Went to All Paws to get Bean the cat groomed. His belly and underarms were all matted. They did such an amazing job, great shave on his underneath but kept his coat all lovely, clean and tidy. Bean was in such great form that evening after getting groomed too! He was like a kitten, so giddy and playful! We will definitely be back and using All Paws for all of Beans check ups and grooming 😁
