I have been with avonvale vets for years now and I am extremely happy with the service I had a horse that had a really bad infection other vets had found the rather large stick that had imp ailed his neck but failed to find on the same side of his neck a piece that had broken off avonvale found it he had his operation to remove the part that had been left in but found another part which he would need to be operated again unfortunately my horse wasn't up to another op as he nearly lost his life from the first op by the time we had found out what had happened and found the pieces it was to late as he was riddled with infection he had to be put to sleep my point here is they are thorough and take great care of the animals in there care they supported me from start to finish if he'd have gone there in the beginning he would still be here today instead of going to a local Wolverhampton equine vets they may be a little far from me but they always get someone out to me I would never use another equine vet and would take them to them if I needed to 100% satisfaction every timeRead Less

I don't have enough good things I could say about Avonvale Vets. They have been incredible through a very long investigation with my special horse. They have been friendly professional understanding and downright perfect! Could not wish for anything to change. My horse is now happily being ridden, after several points this year when I had run out of options and was struggling with where to turn next. I am so glad Dubh was referred to Avonvale as it has saved her life. Incredible vet practice with amazing staff, super facilities, and perfectly formulated medicines. THANK YOU! :) Read Less

I just wanted to say a big thank you to laura from avonvale. After chatting to her about my rather excitable mare who can be insecure at times, she recommended a product called Confidence EQ. It has now been tried and tested and I have to say it is fabulous. My mare has now found a happy little place in her head and the situations that would ordinarily make her insecure are becoming a thing of the past. If it wasn't for laura I would not have tried the product that I would now happily recommend to anyone. Thank you for listening laura and thank you for the recommendation. Read Less
