The nurses & vets are very caring & knowledgeable. I don’t especially like going there though because the cat clinic receptionist is very stroppy. Sort of person who leaves you worrying about what you’ve ‘done’. A bit stressful when you’re feeling a bit worried about your pet anyway! Read Less

Thank you so much to Katrina for helping Bibi in our emergency. I was visiting the area and so even though I’m not registered with their practice everyone was exceptionally nice, caring and considerate to both me and doggy. We got to them in the nick of time as they were about to close and they treated us after hours for which I am soooooo grateful! Thanks a million and I would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

😻 I love Bourne Veterinary!! 😸 I just wanted to praise all the fantastic team at Bourne Veterinary practice in bekesbourne for their impeccable service and care, we've been with them from the beginning and all of my pets over the years have had the very best of treatment. I can't recommend them highly enough and am dismayed at the (small amount of) negative reviews. They genuinely care about all their patients and do their very best which is all you need to know when you're worried about your animals. Well done everyone for such a brilliant practice, I take my hat to you all!! Kevin, Celia and Alan Howell, and Oliver the Siamese cat! Read Less

Fantastic group of vets. Very knowledgable and supportive. They've always looked after us and our range of pets really well. The surgery is spotlessly clean and has top of the range equipment. Clinically their service is excellent and their level of pastoral care cannot be faulted. They take the time to get to know you and your pet and are never in a rush to move onto the next client. Open at weekends and evenings. I highly recommend Bourne Vets. Read Less

Tried to make an appointment to have my parents elderly dog put to sleep as an emergency as their normal vets were closed. Receptionist said as we were not registered clients they would not see us. Very unhelpful and cold hearted. Ended up going to Lady Danes who were understanding, kind and compassionate. Very disappointed with lack of understanding from Bourne Vets in such a heartbreaking situation. Will not be recommending to any family or friends. Read Less

Everyone I have known at Bourne Vets over the past ten years has been kind, caring and professional. Yesterday I said goodbye to William, my Burmese companion for almost 17 years, helped on his way by Rob. Today I called the practice and immediately I was told how sorry they were, asked how I was... Feeling sad but so very grateful to have had two cats cared for by Bourne Vets, and also grateful for the care given to me at a painful time. Thank you. Read Less

We needed to find a new vet after our long standing vet took semi retirement. As a professional dog trainer and handler I needed a vet that would listen and not try and sell us every unnecessary item or put our pets through unnecessary procedures and treatments.Our dogs have had a few surgical and emergency visits to Bourne vets and I can only praise Rob and his staff for the treatment given and the after-care. They are Vets that always have time to speak and talk to you on every visit. Well done Bourne Vets we at Olantigh Dog Training will, and have been recommending you to all our clients.. Read Less

pets become members of the family so when they are poorly it is a traumatic time. Bourne not only give superior animal care but are also sensitive and understanding towards the owners. when i lost my Ginny Pig a few years ago i was devastated, but Rob made the awful situation that bit easier to bare. He arranged for my much loved rescue cat (who had she been human would have carried a sting bag and worn rollers and a blue rinse!) to be cremated (not something i have had done with any of my previous pets) and put no pressure on us to "do whats best" but rather helped us come to the very hard conclusion of having her put to sleep in a sensitive manner. when she was kept in i rang at least 4 times to check on her and was never once made to feel i was being a pest. I would not trust my current little lady to any other vets. i cannot praise this place (and the staff) enough. passion, dignity,care, compassion and commitment are all words that sum this practice up. i know my little one is safe in their hands.Read Less
