We have used Vets4Pets for over 3 years now, since moving to Herefordshire, and can not fault them. The service is excellent - from a helpful, informed front desk to excellent, kind, vets and nurses. They have been brilliant with our nervous Cairn Terrier and have gone to great lengths to help him feel more relaxed when he comes in. Vaccinating him has become a task but Jess was super patient and we got there in the end! Thank you to the whole team.

We took Dougal to be neutered and as usual the staff were absolutely great, from the reception team through to the nurse. Everything was explained and we were asked if we had questions. This veterinary practice is in my view the best practice in Herefordshire. We have had different vets over the years and Vets4Pets are the best we have been to. We have 4 dogs and ever since being at Vets4Pets we feel all our dogs needs are met here. They never rush us and are always available 7 days a week unlike other practices. Many many thanks to you all .

They euthanised my little rescue birdy, and didn't even ask me. They didn't even call me to ask first if I wanted to try to look after him, even though I made it clear that I wanted to when I dropped him off. He was managing fine from the previous evening when I brought this little Starling inside. He wasn't in any way beyond saving and having as a little pet at home. And yes, I know he only had the one leg, and that the other had long since been lost in some mishap and healed, but this very afternoon he was hopping around and chirping, and flapping just fine, and eating and recovering well. I know that in many cases rescues don't survive the night, I am not foolish, I get that. But this one did. And I just wanted to continue caring for this bright little personality that I had rescued from a cat outside. And they killed him instead. I am heartbroken. I had prepared a little enclosure, and ordered proper food. I just took him in to be checked, and now he's gone. And yes, *of course* I know it's just a little wild Starling, and he might have been eaten by a cat outside without my ever knowing that he existed. I get that. I really do. But I also could have kept him at home tonight, and it might have been just fine. And so it just feels like one more horrible symbol of how relentlessly ruined everything is in the world right now. Lesson learned. I will *never* bring in a rescue again, and I will never trust an institution alone with an animal again. I emphatically do *not* want a response to this message. Please do not dare to do so, and in doing so insult my dignity. There is nothing to be done, because you cannot have something back once it is gone, and words are of no more use.

To say they are fantastic is an understatement, went above and beyond when our cat died

I would definitely recommend Hereford Vets4Pets. They’ve been absolutely brilliant with both of our pets. When our cat Blu was run over, Elliot was amazing—he explained every step of the procedure clearly and gave us real peace of mind. They also take such great care of our dog Nelly, who usually gets very anxious about vet visits. Somehow, they always manage to keep her calm and comfortable. Thank you to the entire team at Hereford Vets4Pets for your care and compassion!

I am a veterinary professional and visited the practice to perform some filming for a project we are running at the RCVS. The practice's positive and supportive culture shines through. They work so well together as a team, and clearly care deeply about the service they provide, their patients and their owners. The practice director, Elliot, drives a culture of collaborative work, and supports his veterinary nurses in being the very best they can be. We were using this practice to demonstrate 'what good looks like' in terms of culture and team work, and it was spot on. I left feeling inspired by this practice, and wondering if I'd manage the commute from Evesham should any vacancies arise!

Elliot and the team are amazing! We’ve used Vets 4 Pets in Hereford since moving here nearly 6 years ago and they’ve always gone above and beyond in caring for our cocker spaniel Bailey. These past couple of weeks we’ve been in a few times as he was diagnosed with diabetes. They’ve helped us immensely with how to treat him and he’s back to his usual self - phew! And have been speedy in helping with our insurance claim and sourcing his medication online. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
