The most wonderful vets. Always manage to get an appointment quickly and the staff are all lovely and friendly. Our beagle recently had to have an op for a skin infection and the staff couldn’t have been more re assuring. They make her trips to the vets much easier and I fully trust them when she’s in their hands!!

Thank you for your card and comfort on the passing of our beautiful special Skye, it was so peaceful just what she deserved ❤️ her ashes will be taken to her favorite place, where she can run across the rainbow bridge, forever a pup and pain free 🐾

Disappointing took my dog to be neutered after having advise from the vet about a skin tag I wanted removing for my dog they suggested I book him in to be neutered & that they would take it off at the same time no extra charge. Turned up today after ringing for a specific price for affordability yesterday & was told £ 230. However today when we came for the appointment was told the mass removal (said skin tag ) was an extra 260 !!! Poor communication. Needless to say we left without any thing being done today ⚠️ after taking the week off work to be with my dog for recovery 😒 so disappointed.

Great service whilst visiting the area. Very thorough examination & my worst fears thankfully not confirmed. All the staff were friendly and helpful and even our trembling dog walked out with a waggy tail. Thanks for seeing us so promptly - the surgery even rang to offer us an earlier appointment than we'd booked should there be any interventions needed.

Church Walk vets were great when our 16-week-old puppy managed to pick up a few Ticks whilst on his holiday in Windermere. They helped us removed the ticks and gave great advice, and at a much cheaper price than we expected! Definitely recommend if you’re needing a vet in the area!

Sadly we had to say goodbye to our gorgeous boy Dougie 💙 the care and love received from all the staff was amazing this made this difficult time a little easier to bare 😢 and we cannot thank them enough

I am a visitor to the area and my dog hurt his paw so he could not walk on it. The surgery was prompt, helpful, friendly and thorough. I would not hesitate to recommend (….. and Charlie is better). I found the fees to be similar to my home vet and there was no ‘over sell’.
