My kitten was in for castration and id chip. Collected him this evening. All went ok. The ideal thing is they are only a couple of minutes away from my house. I trust them. That's the main important thing for me.

Wonderful vet...Fiona had to put my beloved cat to sleep at my home. I had only met her once before at the surgery but felt sure she was the right person for this. And she was...she and her nurse were fantastic....kind, patient, professional and very caring.
Response from the owner:We are so sorry for the loss of your lovely girl. Thank you for sharing these kind words at such a difficult time.

An absolute top of the range, for this veterinary surgery practitioners and their excellent staff. I cannot speak high enough for their skills, their attention to the clients needs, the overall professional practices shown and, follow-up care policies. A truly first class organisation.

Brought in a wounded wild rodent. Poor young thing was stressed and so was I. They were very sympathetic to me and did the kindest thing for the rodent.

We have been with Alderholt Vets over 6 years and we can only give praise for the way that Vaughan and his team have looked after our Staffy X Miss Summer. If you are looking for a Vet then I would recommend you give Alderholt Vets a call. Thank you.

Mika with her pretty bandages after 2, interdigital cysts were removed. The operation went well and the care has been wonderful. Everything is explained carefully and the estimated price for her op came out exactly as predicted. Mika is healing well, thank goodness! Great work Vaughn and thank you!!

Just registered with the new vets. We were very impressed following our first meeting. Booked 2 of our dogs for their routine checks.
Response from the owner:We look forward to meeting them all again after their intro visit (hopefully not too often if they can stay out of mischief)

It's joint with my local vets at Alderholt, and i can honestly say i wouldn't go anywhere eles, they have a lot of compassion when it comes down to our pets/fur babies and they are very friendly and welcoming, i was there a couple of weeks ago with my cat and on examination he had to have x-rays galore, the receptionist knew i was worried and she so reassuring, she even offered me a cup of tea which was nice,

This evening we had our precious cat of 19yrs put to sleep. Vaughan and his staff were excellent. So compassionate and caring and allowed us time at the end to say our goodbyes without being rushed or pressured.
