Our beautiful cat developed cancer and kidney problems a few months ago. The care and support and honest advice we received from all the staff was outstanding. We had to have him euthanised last Monday and through that the love and support was so helpful. Today, a week on, we received a beautiful, personal card signed by all the team with a packet of forget me not seeds to plant in Hobbes memory. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Read Less

Always really good service and easy to deal with although can wait a long time for service at reception. 24 hour service at heanor is really reassuring and they will see you even if you're not a regular customer. The addition of carpet in the vestibule at Ripley was a bit of a mistake though with poorly pets going in and out it always smells terrible so doesn't give a great first impression and parking at heanor is an absolute nightmare.

I personally can't thank ambivet enough. We have been with you for around 10 years now and never once had a problem..From kind, friendly and helpful reception staff to caring and patient vets I haven't a bad word to say about you. We have travelled around your branches over the year but mainly stayed at Heanor. From the minute you phone up you are put at ease especially when talking to Helen and Jane. Paul helped us so much when my German Shepherd Roe-z was diagnosed with lymphoma. He was there every step of the way and gave the best help and advice. Sadly she lost her her fight after a number of weeks but the staff were so supportive. Dooley was an emotional reck at the vets, hated every minute of being there but having such a understanding person on hand in Cai made his trips more bare able. (Sorry for his constant crying and tantrums) even when he passed in November the service offered was brilliant. You continue to treat my kaiza, Bobbee and Missy Pops... Missy Pops will be having a operation next week at your Ripley branch and I feel safe knowing she is in your hands. A massive thank you to all the team but a bigger thank you to the practice manager, Cai, Paul, Helen and Jane and the wonderful Vet Poppy as been seeing lately xRead Less

Our 9 week old Chihiuahua, Rosie had a major trauma resulting in her being unconscious for quite a while, she fitted, blew blood bubbles from her nose and mouth. We thought she was dead. Still in our PJ's took Rosie to our local Ambivet on Aspley lane, she was Admitted to Heanor branch but we didn't hold out much hope for her. Treated with whatever was needed, someone sat with her, she was much loved and cuddled. Ashley, was the night time vet, he is absolutely wonderful, taking time out to explain everything to us, in laymans terms, warm and understanding. Rosie was sooo poorly. I hate talking money, but we were told every step of the way just how much things were, costs of X-Ray's blood tests, informed of everything. She is our new baby, nothing was too much, event bough we thought, she wasn't going to make it. We had to give her every chance. All the staff, from the receptionists, nurses and vets that we met were so very lovely, genuine in their concern, loving and caring. I have been told the Ambivets prices are slightly higher than other vets, well what cost do you put on a member of your family, knowing the treatment they are getting is the best!!!! Against all odds Rosie pulled through. We now have our cheeky bundle of fun back home with us. A HUGE thank you to everyone involved. I would not hesitate to recommend Ambivet to anyone.Read Less
