Sadly, I would award no stars.
Since Sept ‘15 our 3 little dogs have been registered here and the care has been exemplary.
I phoned at 14.15 hrs on Tue 18 th June and I was refused an appointment to be seen by the Locum vet, stated no available appointments,
In distress and hoping for guidance or advice I went in person, and there was not one single pet in the waiting area nor in the consulting rooms.
When I asked for an explanation I was not provided a single word of advice or guidance from either the vet nor the vet nurse,
BUT suddenly I was told the vet is not refusing to see your dog, she will see your dog, and there will be an extra emergency fee, this was a 2:30 in the afternoon and the practice was quiet .
Wed 19 th, the next morning we have left this practice , all 3 of our dogs are now registered at another independent practice
Our little 17-year-old dog has recovered and is doing very well.
I’m truly disgusted with Companion Care / Vets4Pets.
The in house vet ( business partner) at the practice was removed in February 20 th ‘ 24.
This is four months ago and the company have not had the courtesy to inform us the paying clients that there is no Vet anymore at the practice.
And on many days, they don’t even have a locum Vet.!
Safety , best practice and excellent veterinary care are priority for our 3 little elderly dogs.
Thankfully, the service at our new practice is exactly that.
Corporate greed is not a good look
In truth, I feel I have been misled this health plan and I feel this better repractice have completely completely failed in their duty of care.
On Tuesday, I should not have had to go in person to meet with the vet who had refused to see my dog even though I clearly stayed. She is 17 and is rapidly deteriorating .
An appallingly poor service.
I recommend avoid. Read Less

As with all vets this one is expensive but they try and fit u in as soon as they can. If it is an emergency they endeavour to see your pet immediately and hold other appointments. The vets themselves are really friendly and do what they can to help. You do get the feeling though that u are being persuaded to buy things/services that you don't really need at times. I suppose this is where the business side comes in. They do not tend to reptiles even though the vet is situated within pets at home which sold reptiles until a short while ago. This is a handy local vet however the vets can change regularly as they are employed and not their own practice. Read Less

Absolutely shocking!! Took my dog in friday with excruciating stomach pain to be told it was his ears causing pain so was given special drops, tablets and anti allergy dog food costing £100 had to then take him in 2 days later as my dog continued to be screaming to be told the ear drops were making his ears worse and he was given morphine for the pain. The morphine did not work throughout the evening and night i had to lie with him on the dining room floor as he was unable to move and in pain so the morphine hadn't worked. Rushed him back in the following day to ask for xrays on his stomach like i had initially asked for and it was confirmed he had inflamation and trapped gases. We were originally quoted £200 for xrays but on the day they then told us £340 when we arrived to collect him it had gone upto £370 as they had ran blood tests we had not asked for nor been told about! He left today on tablets for his tummy which initially he should of been given 4 days ago as the first ones are now useless. When i spoke with a woman explaining the first tablets were now useless, the ear drops made his ears worse and the morphine didnt work could we have some kind of discount as these treatments had totalled £200, i was spoke to so rudely and abruptly. Absolutely appalled by the staff and how they have gone about things. Instead of listening to what i believed was the inital problem has just cost us hundereds for unnecessary treatments... now another 2 days on he is still in pain, i have called numerous times from 9.30am today for blood test results to be told I'd be called back it is now 17.30 and nothing!! My dog has now be signed upto another vet and i certainly will not be putting another penny in these money grabbers tills Read Less
