I re-homed a dog with a severe eye condition one evening and took her in to the vale vets the following day. I was treated like a criminal. The elderly woman vet was brusque and rude. It was almost as though they thought I'd had her for months with this condition and was only now bringing her in (although they didn't actually come out and say so). On a subsequent visit I asked the middle-aged male vet a question and thanked him for his answer, upon which he replied "Well, I probably have a lot more going on in my head than you do". Then there's the young female vet who asks you a question, then starts talking over you as soon as you try to answer. Appalling attitude. The only saving grace of this practice is the receptionists. I'd recommend Park Hill Vets. Not only are the vets much better but they also have the facilities to do keyhole surgery. AND there's ample parking too. What's not to like! Read Less

Disappointed at lack of communication and raging cost of possible overreaction to dogs condition. Initially an emergency call out at midnight (£175) followed by hospitalisation, xray and blood tests. 2 additional days of fluids treatment resulting in total of £740 for apparent trapped wind. Bit much for a small dog in my opinion. When discharged, was given further Meds but stopped as seemed to contradict each other, vast improvement overnight. Also no response so far to the insurance claim for sent to them for completion over 2 weeks ago. Seems as I paid them in full there is no rush for me to get money back. Will seek alternative vet for future treatment Read Less

I rarely have a bad word to say for vets but the Tiverton practice is horrendous. First they casually told me my 4 yr old cat had a terminal disease and could be dead within 3 months.. in fact he had a regular parasitic infection which cleared up after a week of antibiotics. I moved to another vets at this point (he's a very healthy 10 yr old now!). Sadly my mum stayed with them. Last night her beautiful 16 yr old cat became very poorly and heartbreakingly we decided it was his time. All the vet could do was tell her how expensive it would be and that she should bring him in instead.. yes, into a freezing cold night, drag him 10 miles in the middle of the night with a heart condition so his last moments would have been stressful and anxious, rather than curled up warm in his favourite spot with his mum. Money was never the issue, but his attitude was disgusting. Luckily my wonderful vet came out to see him, and calmly assisted him away from this world in the warmth of his own home with his mum.Read Less

Vale Vets in Tiverton is a first class clinic. All of the staff are very professional, helpful and understanding. Our dog, Buffy, was very sick and had to stay in the clinic for a week. She was treated by Jonathon Dainton who is an exceptional vet. He gave her the highest possible level of attention and kept us informed of her condition and treatment several times each day. With the support of the very capable and caring nursing staff Buffy was returned to us in good health. We are very grateful for the skills and absolute commitment of the staff and would highly recommend you go the extra mile to use this clinic. Read Less

Took my cat Marley to the vale in cullompton this afternoon as unhappy with a previous diagnosis. Within a few minutes of speaking to the vet today, we felt rest assured that his condition is not what was previously diagnosed and in fact he will make a full recovery on his own without the need for unnecessary (and costly) trip to a specialist for a CT scan. We had already seen improvements in only a few days hence we felt there had been a mis-diagnosis. Cant thank todays vet enough. Think his name was Ben. Lovely chap, pleasant, knowledgeable, reassuring and best of all...he thought marley was a precious diamond...which he is!! Read Less
