Can't recommend this vets enough. Receptionists are so friendly and helpful. Vets are so thorough and genuinely care about your pet.

Very good veterinary. I recently had to have my dog put to sleep and they let me do this out in their garden in the sunshine.

We have been customers of Mercer and Hughes for over 30 years with a number of different pets. They have always provided excellent care for our animals and given us as owners, honest information and support where needed. I highly recommend anyone to this Veterinary practise. Tonight we completed our stage 2 puppy pre school with our new Puppy Digby. It was a fun and informative 2 weeks. Vet nurse Carolyn gave great advise and tips and made us all feel welcome and comfortable with her calm approach. It was a great social activity for both Digby to meet other pups and for us to meet other friendly owners and compare notes. The behind the scenes tour of the lovely modern surgery in Great Dunmow allowed you to see where your pets are cared for once out of the consulting rooms. Would love to do more training events with Carolyn and Mercer & Hughes if the opportunity came up. Highly recommend the Puppy pre school. Thank you to Carolyn all the M&H Team. Sandra, Robert and Digby.Read Less

This evening was our 2nd and final puppy class for Bryn our Border Collie puppy, given by vet nurse Carolyn. Really enjoyed the classes. It was nice meeting other puppy owners going through the same things as yourself and seeing the different breeds of puppies. Big and small. Carolyn was there to give advice and answer our questions. She obviously loves animals and made a great fuss of each puppy, making us owners very proud of our fur babies! I would definitely recommend the classes. We each came away with a brilliant goodie bag and certificate too! Thank you Carolyn and reception staff. Read Less

Just enjoyed a very informative couple of evenings at the Puppy pre-school in Dunmow. There was lots of information on puppy care, (teeth, claws, parasites etc!) in a friendly environment which provided safe socialization for the puppies. We got treated to a "Behind the Scenes" guided tour too! We came away with lots of tips and ideas about future health care and training and it was lovely to meet other enthusiastic puppy owners! For 10 it was excellent value. The puppy party bag containing a "Shake a Pheasant" was a real hit! Thanks Carolyn for giving up your 2 evenings to teach us. Read Less

The puppy pre-school in Dunmow has been excellent and we were very impressed with the kind and knowledgeable nurse Carolyn. Little Colin, our cocker spaniel has enjoyed going to the classes and meeting the other puppies. We think for two hour long sessions, and with a bulging doggy bag of goodies at the end, the value is just incredible. We thoroughly recommend these classes to puppy owners and the experience has really confirmed that we have chosen the right veterinary practice for our dog. Well done M&H and thank you Carolyn!

Thank you so much for all your support with Reggie, from when we initially saw the vet (on all of reggies visits), brought him in for his op (the nurse whos name I dont know sorry, but she will know who she is was absolutly fantastic, made me feel like she really cared for my pet and that he was in safe hands, and then when we brought him back showed that she really does care, and was sad with us.) and for the very thoughtful card we recieved yesteraday. You were all amazing when we lost Reggie and made the process so much easier. It means a lot to have a vet you can trust. Thank you again, Clare and Scott Read Less
