Google rating: 4.1 stars from 39 reviews. - Short‑notice help is mentioned (a pet was seen “at such short notice” and the caller found reception helpful and reassuring).
- •Clear explanations come up repeatedly: what would happen during dental care, information about a cat bite, and straightforward discussion of treatment costs.
- •Communication during procedures is highlighted (one owner reports receiving updates throughout the day while their dogs had teeth removed).
- •Practical, day‑to‑day problem solving is noted (suggesting a “doughy treat” to hide tablets so a cat would take medication).

I'm glad K&D are our vets. Our experiences with the team here have been nothing short of excellent. They clearly understood our concerns and anxieties surrounding our cat's condition, and explained the financial aspect of treatment in a way that was easy to comprehend. The veterinarian we saw on our recent visits was Richard, who evidently had our pet's best interest at heart. We can't thank you all enough for helping to restore normality back to our lives 🙏

Great vets!! I use Knox & Devlin for my two dogs who recently needed some teeth removing. The vet was thorough and explained everything that was going to happen during their care and called me with updates throughout the day. Lovely caring practice!!
