Our family dogs use to go to pet practice in dinsdale, many many years ago. We had an incident with one of our Irish Setters and they weren't open. We rushed her to hamilton vets and they just took her in straight away and saved her life. Once pet practice changed to pet doctors. I found them to be heartless and all for the money. I remembered the day hamilton vets saved our family dogs life. Now that I have my own dogs I've been going to hamilton vets for over 6 years. They are just fantastic, caring, compassionate, friendly and always do everything to get to the bottom of health issues. They were fantastic getting to the bottom of Chloes health issue. She's got bowel disease and had it since 2011. She's now 13 years old and still going strong thanks to hamilton vets been persisted in keeping her healthy. THANKS GUYS YOU ARE THE BEST. :)Read Less
