My gorgeous old cat of 12, Oscar got very ill after living his whole life with no problems. After just a couple of visits to The Companion Vets they found he had a hyperthyroid problem. All the way through, everyone at the clinic was kind and informative. Both vets were excellent. It was a very difficult time when I found out that Oscar would have to take tablets for the rest of his life. However, a couple of weeks in, Paul Dowie advised that he could perform an operation to remove the thyroid - he talked me through it, what the advantages and disadvantages may be and what the percentage of positive outcome would be. Based on this information, I decided to let Paul perform the operation. He was wonderful and Oscar is now a very healthy and much happier cat. Excellent service, excellent information and lovely atmosphere. So glad I found them Read Less
