Absolutely amazing. Very professional, friendly, very warm, family-like atmosphere. I had my senior cat under their care and now a puppy and a kitten. My puppy was not afraid at all, even had a nap while I was talking with Aoifa, one of the amazing Doctors there. The love and care for the animals was felt from the moment I walked into the practice for the first time. They cared for my senior cat at the end of her journey with all the love and care she deserved, for which I am forever grateful and I couldn't be happier for having my puppy and kitten under their care. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for professional practice full of love for the work they do.

Our boy Charlie Bob spent an all inclusive 16 night stay at this wonderful cat resort. He is still talking about it even though he is back home weeks now. He said that the staff are lovely and gave him belly rubs whenever he wanted and let him out for a runaround very often. They even sent text updates to our kids to document how Charlie Bob was getting on and enjoying the facilities and his food. He didn't want to leave when we collected him. He was in great shape and had a new swagger about him after his vacation. He insists he is going back next year. We'll see.

First time using this vet. Got same day appointment. which was fantastic. My cat was sick that morning, and the vet saw her by 3.15pm. Not having to delay getting my cat look after at short notice was better than a hug in times of stress. The staff were very polite, chatty and friendly. They took great care of what they were doing with my cat, and took their time so not to stress the cat out more. They worked at my cats pace, which I was very pleased to see. The whole experience for me and my cat was a pleasant experience, and the same day I got the blood results, so we could safely start the right treatment. Again that was so important.
