Not my usual vets as they were closed at this point on a Saturday, but managed to get a last minute appointment here today with my dog after she started having mobility issues. The vet we saw (I believe was called Leigh-Anne) was wonderful! You can tell how much she loves animals, she was so thorough too and showed so much care, plus took the time to answer the numerous questions I had. If I lived closer, I’d without a doubt choose this vets - highly recommend! Thanks so much guys 🙏

I brought my dog here when she seemed out of sorts. After a battery of blood tests, they found some anomalies and gave her a scan. A big growth was found on her spleen and it was recommended she had surgery to remove her spleen before it ruptured! Within 24 hours, I was picking her up after her surgery and taking her home to a very happy family! It wasn't cheap but can you put a price on your pets welfare. Very impressed! Thank you vets for pets.

Recently had to take a ferrel cat into them to sadly have her put to sleep. Poor girl was well over 20 and had lived in our shed in the garden for years. Unfortunately she was deteriorating badly, Vets for Pets at Hookstone were so helpful, and compassionate especially the young lady on reception. The vets were so much better and helpful than all the other well known charities I had attempted to get any help … without success, gave me a complete different view on these “ caring” charities. Thank you Vets for Pets for all you did.
