Brilliant team, from the surgeon, Mr Bush to the insurance lady Dawn, thank you all for taking care of the love of my life, we are only just coming up to the six week mark but he seems to be 80% better. It was such a relief when Mr Bush and the girls understand that our dog does not like anyone but his mum and dad, its not this fault, another human being made him like this.Thank you again.

I no longer go to this practice. My dog Polo had a swelling on his mouth - thought to be an abscess. They not only took out the wrong tooth but left some of it in the dog's mouth. I kept going back to them as the swelling did not go down, they seemed at a loss to know what to do and advised me that sometimes these swellings remain even though the problem has been solved. After a while I took my dog to James at Clifton Vets. He sorted the problem out very quickly - he took the correct tooth out and the tooth fragment The Down's Veterinary Practice had left behind. The swelling went down immediately after the op. I feel very upset that my dog suffered unnecessarily for over 6 months because of the poor diagnosis and care from The Downs Veterinary Practice. I would not recommend this practice.

My Max had Lumbar Sacral Surgery. I was constantly kept informed and I have no doubt that he has received the best possible care.
If you are a concerned pet owner...get down to Downs. Your four legged friend deserves the best and here they will receive it.
Thanks to everyone at Downs.

Brilliant vets, thoroughly professional - can't thank surgeon Damien Bush enough for fixing my dachshund Eric - he's a completely new dog, like a bouncy bean - unbelievable really considering he'd lost the use of his legs 4 weeks ago. Today he's been country walking and swimming in the river Wye. The Downs are amazing - thank you!
