Downland Veterinary Group

I cannot sing Downland Vets in Bognor Regis, praises highly enough. Being new to the area and not registered with a vet yet, they treated my mothers dog in an emergency giving quality care. He was hospitlised for 4 days and throughout that time they regularly kept us informed of his condition and the treatments and options for treatments given. During this time of social distancing they even allowed her to visit him in a safe environment. Many thanks to all the staff :) Read Less

Downlands (whose negligence killed my cat Flopsy) AND Fitzpatricks have somehow removed my review last week of their knowingly torturous slow death of my cat (Flopsy) through their disease experimentation which they knew in advance would have no effect other than causing immense pain, suffering & torture to my family, friend & emotional support pet of 11 years. This is supposed to be an independant site where people can leave facts & warn others so negligence does not kill their pets, not one that can be manipulated by guilty parties. Jonathan Bray & Mike McFarlane , Oncologists at Fitzpatrick referrals should be behind bars for animal abuse & cruelty. If there is such an equivalent of criminal negligence manslaughter then I formally accuse them of such, along with Noel Fitzpatrick & his employee Tasha who subjected me to a tirade of abuse via phone (phonecall recorded & will be published) on behalf of Jonathan Bray, the entire oncology team & Fitzpatricks itself. Tasha made it very clear that Fitzpatricks consider their client to be the referring vets, not you the owner, & that they would not tolerate any criticism whatsoever of their 'clients, the referring vets'. The referring vets in Flopsy's case were Downland veterinary group (Bognor Regis branch) corporation not family vets. On 1st August 2018 I took Flopsy to vet Paul Tucker (of DVG)with a minute lump on her mammary tract, Paul Tucker said 'This was ok & nothing to worry about', a week later I took Flopsy back with an enlarged inguinal lymph node, the lump on her mammary tract was very early stage cancer but had now metasticised. Paul Tucker also examined her sister 'Twinkle' on the same day where I pointed out a lump on Twinkle's neck, Paul Tucker also said this was nothing to worry about, the following week Twinkle had this lump with large section removed (by her old vet of 7 years) for being an injection site carcoma, Twinkle was last injected by Paul Tucker. A very nasty individual at Downland vets by the name of Ben Trimmer threatened me with the police for my threats to expose them & warn other pet owners. Anyone reading this please warn as many people as you can against Fitzpatrick referrals & Downland vets, Fitzpatricks have a total disregard for your pet or you, they are a disease experimentation centre that will knowingly kill your pet in agony through their drugs. Please see the reviews I have left for Downland vets also, there is more detail. I will be setting up a website called 'The Flopsy Foundation (For feline mammary cancer)' I will be publishing the abusive phonecall from Fitzpatricks and proof that they fully know the administration of chemotherapy to a cat with this condition will not help in the slightest but cause severe internal damage to the cat & nerve damage, in Flopsy's case total paralysis of her hind legs for the past 6 weeks of her life. What you see on tv regarding Fitzpatricks care & concern is a farce, Fitzpatrick himself was addressed on this issue 2 months ago, he has failed to even personally acknowledge what amounts to the torture, abuse & murder of my best friend who is now in a casket in front of me having been cremated last Thursday. To RVC , I, Lee David Gilliland Formally accuse vets Paul Tucker and Ben Trimmer, of Downland veterinary group (corporation) of the criminal negligence manslaughter of my cat, best friend, only family and emotional support pet.(Guide dog to blind person equivalent)I further accuse Ben Trimmer & Lia Boddington, also of DVG, of the attempted cover up of this through direct threats & intimidation of & by purchaseable authorities for corporate hire & the removal of Google reviews attempting to warn other pet owners. I further accuse Fitzpatricks referrals oncologists, Jonathan Bray, Mike McFarlane & Noel Fitzpatrick of animal cruelty & abuse & knowingly subjecting pets to torture to satisfy their own ends in disease experimentation where the animal/pet is of no consideration ( proveable through covert voice recordings). Kindly acknowledge receipt by return email without delay. Mr L Gilliland Read Less

After Barney are cat fell ill had to use Bognor Regis branch of Downland vets. He had to be admitted for over night stay had everything explained to us. Was given estimate of treatment of just over £330. When we picked him up had bill for over £570 and a test they'd performed that was never mentioned in consultation, results of which have taken over a week to come back. Only got results after going over to complain. Not impressed at all and am now going to be using another vet practice in future. Read Less
