Alder Veterinary Practice

I had to visit yesterday with my beloved ferret who, it turned out, had an aggressive mouth cancer. The wonderful vet helped him cross the Rainbow bridge with dignity and it was completely stress free. Dennis da Fuzzit, was calm and not worried throughout. I cannot say how grateful I was. He's gone to join his old mate Russell who passed in his sleep in December. My 2 Grumpy old men are gone. I was so impressed with the vet that I am transferring my business to them. I have a *lot* of pets (all other people's unwanteds) so my vet is a very important person in my life, they have to be the best. Read Less

NOW we have to wait a further 4days to take him back to see an old school vet,oh and were not being charged for the consultation,woo hoo we have already spent 900+. Read Less

The wonderful staff at Alder VP have once again gone above and beyond to help us to heal one of our beloved pets. Lily the Westie was SO very poorly but thanks to the patience and expertise of Sylvia and her brilliant colleagues, we have discovered what was wrong, and now she is back to her exuberant, mischievous self. We can never thank you all enough. Read Less

I have my border collie Sam registered here and all my families pets go to Alders also. They go above and beyond to care for the animals I've never had a single problem here and the staff are very caring and compassionate. Even when taking in abandoned animals they still have the same caring attitude! Wouldn't go anywhere else now, prices are fantastic and very affordable, I've never struggled to get an appointment and they are there for you when you need advice, I've had to ring out of hours once but I still received great advice and reassurance from the on call vet. Fantastic service, thank you! Read Less

I have been a customer at Alder Vets, Spalding for 13 years with my Jack Russell Harvey and also 2 cats. Harvey has multiple allergies and has been successfully treated with a vaccine. Wayne and Sylwia who have been his Vets for those years have been fantastic. With their professionalism and calm manner, it has made Harvey's monthly visits much better for him. The Veterinary nurses and receptionists are great and juggle very busy consulting times. Their pricing structure is very reasonable and I would highly recommend them for your pets. Read Less

If you want to have a team of people treat your pet as one of their own, this is the practice. I have nothing but praise for them. I recently had a distressing time with my beloved cat Bernard. The care and thoroughness of his treatment was superb. You and your pet are in very safe hands, I cannot recommend them enough Thank you for all you have done Read Less

Just what a vets should be..... Caring, friendly and professional. The animals welfare is paramount but at reasonable cost. I would not want my dogs treated anywhere else. Great vets & nursing staff who could not have done more to support me and care for my dear Harry & Hollie as they came to the end of their lives through age and cancer last year. I will always be most grateful.Read Less

Quick visit today for a weight check and regular flea/tick treatment for our rescue border collie and the usual friendly, efficient service from everyone we came in contact with. Wayne and his team have looked after our dogs since the practice opened and have always treated them and us with care and compassion, whether on a routine visit like the one today or the more stressful visits due to illness or injury. I have no hesitation in recommending this practice. Read Less

I took my extremely poorly 6 month old Ragdoll kitten to be put to rest to end all suffering but what he received was the send off from hell. I was told he would be put into a deep sleep for a few minutes and then given the lethal dosage to stop his heart. On doing so, we were told that the first injection 'might sting'. The vet administrated the drug into Hugo's shoulders and as he pulled the needle out, poor Hugo jumped back and shook and fell off backwards off the table as the vet didn't even attempt to stop Hugo and just held his arms out saying "well I've never had that reaction before". I then picked Hugo up and passed him into my wife's arms who cuddled Hugo until he was completely asleep. There was no apology or attempt to pick Hugo up...maybe the vet should have been more prepared for any reaction! Hugo was extremely weak and could hardly walk due yet his needs were not supported. We were then ushered into a different room so the vet could see other patients. My wife held onto Hugo until the vet came back in. She had been in tears from the start and was not offered a tissue once. The vet came back in and told my wife to lay 'her' onto the table when though Hugo has always been a him! After laying him on the table, the vet prepared the lethal dosage and grabbed a chunk of Hugo's side and jabbed the injection into his heart. This dosage did not stop poor Hugo's heart so yet another dosage was jabbed into his heart. This is the most horrific way my wife and I have seen an animal being put to sleep. Our last haunting memory is of Hugo falling off the table and looking at us to say 'what have you done to me?'. This will stay with us forever and we will no longer be using these vets as a result. We will be taking our 2 dogs and 6 cats else where to somewhere. Wayne has dealt with the issue personally with me yet nothing will ever change our horrific experience.Read Less

Absolutely brilliant service, focusing on the pet and the owners. We had a good discussion about treatment options, the vet took my views into account and we chose the option that best suited our situation and gave the best outcome. I was worried about leaving my dog during his operation but I didn't need to be. We both got the best care possible! I wouldn't go anywhere else. Read Less

Today my beautiful bengal Bailey was seen by Sylwia at Alders as he had a minor head injury which had become infected. The nurses, Danielle and Sally, assured me that my initial and basic first aid was good, and offered advice as to what I should do to make it even better. Bailey was very scared and wanted to stay in his cat carrier, and Sylwia managed to examine and treat him in the carrier, with the most gentle and delicate touch. She told me what was clinically wrong, offered me a choice of 3 ways to treat him, and after choosing the option that didn't require me to give him pills, told me how to look after his wound over the next 3-4 days, and what to look out for which might necessitate a return visit. Bailey is feeling so much better now - thank you very much Sylwia, Sally and Danielle - he's well on the way to being 100% his usual strutting self.Read Less

In the final days of our special friend khloe she had the best care possible from Wayne he even came to visit her at home at no charge to see how she was doing in the surroundings of our home unfortunately she was put to sleep a few days later but the care and support from all at alders especially Wayne was outstanding thank you for all you did.

Alder Vets used them for just under 20 years now, I only have Bonnie and Clyde as cats now, Bonnie only has sight in 1 eye due to a fight or something thanks to Sylvia and Wayne for all of their help with the operation/ treatment, and poor old Clyde our rather oversized 3 legged ginger tom, poor old boy got knocked down on our estate and unfortunately had to have his back leg amputated but special thanks to Wayne, Zoe and Sylvia, they made his recovery quick. I so appreciated all of the help the staff gave me without their help we certainly wouldn't have them now but both doing fine, not liking the snowy weather tho!! Would totally recommend the surgery all of the staff there are so dedicated to the animals welfare and not about making money like alot of companies these days are. The care they offer is of a high standard:-) Read Less
