What marvellous people, full of compassion and kindness for owners and pets. I wouldn’t use any other veterinary service

Claire Waddell

We visited earlier today for our Airedale, Lottie, who is on holiday with us in the area. All the staff we spoke to were welcoming, friendly and extremely professional. Lottie was thoroughly examined, and although we are only visiting the area, the staff were so accommodating in giving us a consultation really promptly and we didn’t feel rushed at any point during her appointment. Vets often receive bad press for cost etc, however we would 100% recommend Kingsway-we could not have been offered service any better elsewhere.

Had to make an emergency appointment as our dog was ill for a few days with no sign of any improvement. Thoroughly checked, medication given. Informed if no improvement within 24 hrs, contact the practice. Very satisfied with treatment, all staff friendly & efficient. It was very busy when we arrived & reception staff kept us informed as to when we'd be seen by one of the vets.

Contacted Kingsway vets to get a librela jab for my elderly spaniel whilst I was away from home. I had a prescription from my usual vet in Ireland so was a very simple matter of providing the drug and administering the injection. The good :- Pleasant reception staff and vet, easy to book an appointment pleasant surgery with easy parking. The bad:- THE PRICE I normally pay 90 euros (£78.78 sterling) for the monthly injection from my vet in Ireland here l payed £162.47 for the same injection (We were in the consultation room for just over 3 minutes) . I expected to pay more in the UK as it has a reputation for over the top veterinary costs but this price is nothing short of scandalous. If I need to seek veterinary treatment in the UK in future I will be sure to find an independent practice not corporate rip of merchants !!

Excellent experience. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly. We were on holiday in the area and needed a vet for our dog. Kingsway was recommended to us, and was perfect. Thank you.

When our dog sustained an injury recently we needed to visit the vet’s. The whole experience and process of initial urgent appointment to being referred onto a specialist hospital for surgery was excellent. All staff were compassionate and caring to us as owners and to our dog. Communication was brilliant in all aspects of explaining the injury, costings and the referral process for getting specialist treatment
