Everyone was friendly, reassuring and forthcoming with information. My dog, the apple of my eye, was well cared for and is bouncing about again. I live in London, but found previous reviews helpful and the location easy to find when searching for a vet.
The fee was also very reasonable but a secondary consideration in an emergency. I would use this service again.

As a multi dog family our choice of vet is important for them as well as us. We were looking for a practice that offers a friendly as well as competent service. It was a big moment for us, having previously been with an excellent family practice for over 20 years, and Alexander's meets our expectations and hopes. The nursing staff are welcoming and Kate was patient with us as new clients, informative and very calming for us as well as our fur babies. I am delighted with our choice would definitely recommend them.

Like any pet owner our dogs are the heart of the family & whenever we take them to the vets they are treated as well as if they were the vets own. Both have had surgery there, our Jack Russell had a lump removed by Gill and our Jack Russell x Patterdale recently had some stones removed from his bladder by Ian. They were both so well looked after it took away the anxiety of someone else having your dog. The aftercare was great and all the staff have always been brilliant could not recommend alexander vets more!
