They quote for a dental procedure, £600, then guilt trip you into extras £922. I don't believe the extras were necessary. No wonder the animal charities are overflowing.

Highly recommend! We took our kitty Loki here and it was his first time, so naturally we were stressed out as he is quite anxious when other people are around. But we just had the best experience with them and felt soo welcome! Loki was soo calm around them which was a bit of a shock to us :) Thank you for taking a good care of us!

Kind, caring vets/nurses that do all they can to help your animal. Transparent with pricing and do what they can to keep costs at a minimum for you. Healthy Pet Club has 100% been worth it too. Highly recommend!

Love the team here. We have a rescue Greyhound, who has always had a lot of health issues. We are regulars at the London Road practice, the staff are always a pleasure to see, it's easy to book in and our Dog has received excellent care, including successfully treating a long-term condition with corns, that previous vets had found no solution to. Thank you everyone at London Road 👋👋 !!

I had to sadly have my cat put to sleep this week. I was given a quick appointment and the receptionist was helpful and efficient. I found the whole experience in the practice cold , with the receptionist greeting me at the door with ,” I am on the phone, “ The vet was professional . The receptionist ignored me on the way out , I looked her way to say goodbye but no words or eyes contact. I have to say I found this practice completely devoid of any empathy or compassion. On top of that I have to contact the company that will cremate my cat myself to arrange to be picked up from the vets . Not sure I would want to return.
