Pennard Vets Tonbridge

Whilst animals always get excellent care and attention, their prices are at the very high end of the scale. Don't expect to be seen at the time you book an appointment, they're always 10-20 mins behind. Read Less

Pennards are the best vets I have ever been to. They are professional, friendly, caring and kind. Nothing is too much trouble. The surgeries are spotlessly clean. They really do care for animals and for your pet - not in it for the money like a lot of vets! I had my dog and rabbit with them and now my cat is on their great value petplan. From the moment you walk in the staff are lovely, from the receptionists through to the nurses and vets. All I can say is they are wonderful if you really want the best for your pet go to Pennards.

I have moved from Tonbridge to East Sussex and because there is no better vets that I would trust to care for my dog I still use Pennards in Tonbridge. Caroline has been amazing and has looked after Brandy with the care and affection as if she was her own dog. Ann is the best, most experienced and caring person on the front desk I have ever met. I always recommend Pennard to my family and friends and have never heard a bad word from anyone who has been. The emergency care service they offer has without doubt saved my dog when she was at her illust. Thank you to all of you for the amazing job you all do. Read Less

My little dog has had so many issues, Pennard s have been nothing but helpful with her, they've made everything so personal to us, every time I speak to them they are cheery and very professional, would highly recommend, in particular Caroline always goes the extra mile and enquires about my little girls well being and because she is on long term medication she has arranged it to be the most cost effective way possible, even after moving over an hour away I have left her with this practice, highly recommend 5 * Read Less

Our two cats (Pickle and Marcel) have been very well cared for by the team at Pennards in Tonbridge. Despite Pickle being scared by most things (not just going to the vet) - Matthew, Caroline and the rest of the team have been unwaveringly kind and supportive (and patient with us!) at each visit, and we have the confidence that the team have Marcel's, Pickle's (and our) best interests at heart.

My family and I would like to say a very big thank you to vet Helena at the Allington branch for her wonderful treatment of our beloved black lab Bentley. Helena was always very gentle with him and explained everything very clearly, leaving any decisions to be made in our hands but at the same time supporting us. Unfortunately last Thursday Bentley was put to sleep and Helena was extremely caring and made a horrible experience bearable with her warmth and empathy. Pennards also surprised us with a lovely bouquet of flowers and their sympathies a couple of days later. Thank you Pennards at Allington Read Less

Thank you so much Phil at Maidstone for the care you gave our beautiful Freya in her last few months. Thanks especially for the gentle and dignified way you helped us say goodbye to our treasured old lady last week. Read Less

After many years of being a dog and cat owner,plus a pony and a variety of small animals,it has been necessary to attend numerous Veterinary Practices in both London and the Westcountry. Without a doubt Pennard Vets(Sevenoaks) are the best that I have ever known.They have been providing excellent care for Alfie and Archie my two Labradors and feline Oscar for five years.Recently Alfie has been treated for a knee injury,having managed to rupture a cruciate ligament.He is a very lively,highly strung dog and seeing him through surgery and the subsequent recovery time was made so much easier than it could have been by the support of the whole team! Thank you to all the team at Pennards for taking professionalism to the highest level and providing a friendly and caring service for both your patients and their owners! Read Less

I can't recommend the team at Tonbridge enough. We recently lost our dog, and Caroline and Ann looked after the welfare of not only our beloved companion but ours as well. During a traumatic time the process could not have been handled with more tact and compassion. They shared our loss as one of their own. Fantastic team. Read Less

The Sevenoaks branch has been fab with my two cats- particularly my Alice who was taken to the practice as a stray and stayed there until I fell in love with her and brought her home. My other cat is being helped (or should I say I'm being helped!) with weight loss and is very nearly back to 'regular cat size' (!) Fab service, very happy and particularly recommend the pet health club - thank you!! Read Less

Thank you to all at Pennards Tonbridge and Sevenoaks (particularly Meg) who have looked after Bertie so well over the past two weeks. Unfortunately his leg had to be amputated following a bad break, but he has now come to live with me in his forever home where he will live a very pampered life. I appreciate all that the vets and nurses have done for my animals over the past 19 years and long may this continue. Read Less

Pennard Vets - The Vet that doesn't care about its treatment of animals, just profits. I am appalled at the inconsiderate & mercenary nature of the self-proclaiming "Compassionate, caring & professional" veterinarian, Pennard's in Tonbridge. Our family has used this frank excuse of a "caring" vets for several years and are now seriously considering whether to ever have dealings with them again; having had a string of bad experiences with no legitimate explanations. The latest, sparking my absolute disgust & willingness to downtread this money-extorting establishment, relates to a stray cat not even belonging to us. My mother who has been feeding him outside the house for some time noticed he had a severe limp around a week ago, took him to Pennard's seeking treatment & left him with them. They informed her that he is not micro-chipped & there is no known owner, therefore they would seek assistance from the RSPCA for his care. My mother, who is very caring, wanted to be in the know of his treatment & told Pennard's that if no owner came forward she would be happy to adopt him; this was clearly the point at which they saw . Having now been left with Pennard's for over a week we are told that the cat has thus far received NO TREATMENT other than pain relief as there has been nobody to PAY FOR THE TREATMENT but they strongly suspect he may have A BROKEN LEG; as so much time has now passed it limits options for treatment & they have proposed simply AMPUTATING HIS LEG as the cost of treatment would be very high. To my utter disgust, the emotionally black-mailing "veterinarians" have then "generously" offered to cover the cost of the amputation if my mother adopts him and takes out a pet care plan with them for him!!! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??? What vets establishment proclaims to care about animals but REFUSES TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY TREATMENT WITHOUT PAYMENT & then attempts to BLACKMAIL a caring lady into paying for it? You should be ashamed of yourselves Pennard's; whoever manages your branch is a sorry excuse of a human being & your staff should be ashamed to work for such a money-orientated firm if they truly care about the well-being of animals. To shed a little more light on our past experiences:- One of our cats died (at a very young age) a few hours following a "routine, very low risk" operation - No true explanation provided; Another cat we were told required major dental work at a very high price by one vet, once sedated by another vet we were told his dental condition was fine & no work was required! (Well done to, at least one, honest vet); One of our dogs had sporadic seizures over a period of a year or so - No diagnosis or treatment provided despite several bills for examination - She died some time later when it was finally diagnosed (too late) that she had internal bleeding; Our next dog was hit by a car - Told by Pennard's Tonbridge that chance of survival was almost 0%, pretty much condemning him to being put down - Upon taking him to another specialist & Pennard's in Sevenoaks he received excellent treatment & has made a full recovery. All in all this this lot at Pennard's in Tonbridge clearly either do not have a clue what they are doing, or simply do not care unless there's bundles of money involved. I certainly will NEVER take my pets here, I am strongly advising my mother not to anymore & personally would like to see them pay for their consistent lack of care if there was a feasible way of doing so.

They rip you off with return visits at 45. Antibiotics, I wanted s prescription didn't want to pay 40, they got all funny about it and I eventually won, paid for the prescription and got the antibiotics for 3.24 from the chemist! When they checked my dog for his booster, they said his ears needed treatment fair enough so 70 plus pounds later. Please come next week. To be in there for seconds I thought it was all paid for and this was a quick check which it was but no 45. They don't care about your dog, it's do you have pet insurance yes I say. But I have house insurance doesn't mean I claim on it. I love my dog like my child but I don't throw medication down it's throat and make up an illness like his ears. I now have a brilliant caring vet with good standards and ethics not this practice. I had seen a really hard up old lady with her beloved cat in your vets and like she said you'd taken her rent money. Shame on you. You should have given her the prescription and told her a cheaper option. That cat was her only companion and she loved him, you argued with me and it a policing that you should have on the wall detailing this fact to animal owners. I'd rather people treated their pets and not be afraid to go the vets then animals stuffer because of vets like you.Read Less

As a new dog owner I was quite nervous, as was my dog. The care and attention received from not only Helena The vet, but also the nurse and receptionist was excellent. I can thank you enough for the information and help. Ralph had a lovely time, so caring and took their time over everything! Thanks again Jamie Read Less
