I switched from the other practice in Portishead to Watkins because I became unhappy with various things (not the vets as they were always fantastic). I visited for the first time today and was very pleased indeed. I had made an appointment for boosters for my dog but I had accidentally been booked into the Nailsea branch instead of Portishead. The receptionist, who was lovely, apologised then spoke to a vet and they saw me there and then. Mike was excellent: thorough and professional. My dog is a little madam but thankfully she seemed to take a liking to Mike. I was pleasantly surprised when he handed me a voucher for a free check-up in 6 months' time.

This is a very long overdue review of hydrovet, which l have to make as they are absolutely fantastic. My dog Coco visited her regular vet with a suspected injury to her CCL. Following some pain meds we got referred and the lovely Viv did her first consultation with Coco (who was suitably tricky) which included her gait analysis. She then started her hydro and the improvement from day 1 was amazing, and I even think Coco enjoyed it. She had 2 sessions a week for a few months and in that time has gone from very limited exercise and her buggy to having a great summer at the beach, in the pool, and in the woods. Cannot recommend hydro enough and Viv and the team I cannot fault and would always recommend. Without them I do think we'd have been looking at surgery. Looking forward to her ongoing fitness sessions to keep those muscles strong

Very compassionate. Every staff member will do all they can to help. For the most part it's never nice to visit the vets, but this place makes it feel a little easier for you and your fur baby.

Our pup had treatment and we were very happy with the care. It involved a small operation and they gave us photo updates (pupdates!) on WhatsApp before and after surgery, which massively reassured us

Love love love watkins and tasker. They can always fit appointments in with my availability. Staff are really kind and lovely and vets are really well educated and knowledgeable. I travel an hour to get there because I really would never go anywhere else.
