I've been coming to this vets for 3 years now with my 3 rescue cats. I was recommended by lots of people to come here and I am so glad I did! Roger and Lesley are truly caring vets that honestly surpass any other practice I've known before. Yesterday especially was hard for two of my cats with two different needs and Lesley just made such a fuss of them and helped tremendously! My cats barely flinched if at all. The reception team are always so friendly and helpful too. If you're looking for an ethical vet with tons of experience this is it!!

A visit to Bath Veterinary Centre today was made so much less stressful for our dog and us because of the professional but very gentle, calm and caring manner of the practice's wonderful vet Lesley. Our Airedale really is at ease with her even though he is not the most cooperative client! Lesley is always very patient .Her careful observation gives us trust in her considered diagnosis / opinion which is much appreciated. Her genuine love for animals and concern for our pets well being is always evident and heartwarming.

It was my first time visiting today with my cat and I am blown away. The reception team Joy and Luke were so lovely and kind. Lesley was an absolute joy. I've never felt so at ease in a vets before and she was absolutely gorgeous with my cat. Lesley was so helpful, sweet and extremely compassionate. Normally my cat hides for a good while after a vet visit but she came right on out of her carrier and flopped on the floor happily. The best vets ever and I know that my cat is in very very safe hands. You can tell they are passionate and truly care about what they do.

This practice seems to only hire the most compassionate people you'll ever meet. The care is always spot on, and their manner with your pet and you is so kind. We have been in a couple of times and seen the younger female vet (sorry! I've forgotten your name), and honestly last time I nearly cried she was so sweet with my dog. My dog was feeling unwell so rather than get her up on the table to look in her ears, the vet lay on the floor so my dog didn't have to move. Being independent they also don't try and rip you off like a lot of the chains do. It's all about the animals wellbeing with them, not about the bottom line and trying to upsell you extra services etc. The best vets in Bath.
