Hawthorn Veterinary Surgery

Great vet practice. They took great care of our family dog, we wouldn't dream of going to anyone else. They looked after him so well, they treated him like he was one of their own. Our experience from start to finish was excellent. Read Less

A very friendly vet practice who have treated my cat and dog brilliantly. Family vets that really do care and do as much as they can to look after the animals in their care. My cat Gilbert was badly injured in RTA and made great recovery. I have had routine care for my dog. I don't understand why people who don't even use this local business are posting reviews. Believe me, that you will be in safe hands here. Read Less

We've been using Hawthorn Vets for about four years now and can't recommend them too highly - friendly, caring staff and a vet team that has sorted out any problems very promptly and efficiently. Our two dogs have been really well looked after. A big thank you to everyone at Hawthorn. Read Less

I recently moved to Hawthorn Vets and so pleased I did, the staff were extremely polite and knowledgeable , the vets all took their time to examine my dog and recommended a course of treatment which has certainly made her a lot more comfortable. For the all the care and treatment pricing was perfect, many thanks. Robin Stephens. Read Less

Nice people but extortionate pricing compared to coastway in kemptown. Also quite disappointed with the pushy way I was treated by several of the staff. Also charged for a test I didn't ask for, consent to or even get results for which is pretty ludicrous really. I feel like I've been taken for a mug. Read Less

My Beagle Bailey is treated like royalty every time we visit the vets, it's so lovely to be put at ease when we visit. A big thank you for all the care Bailey has been given recently, I really appreciate it :) Read Less

Our dog is very nervous of people, but all the team at Hawthorns are aware of this and make him feel comfortable. He has become confident going to the vets. Every time we have taken him to the vet, he's been well looked after. We would definitely recommend this practice to other pet owners! Read Less

Superb surgery and have been taking our loved cats there for 16 years now. Always treated extremely well, even for the inevitable sad times that come along every now and again. We couldn't speak more highly of this place, both sites in Henfield and Partridge Green offer a brilliant service. Read Less

Took my German Shepherd dog there for castration. He had one testicle that still hadn't dropped at 3.5 years old. They did the op and afterwards in his private parts he was terribly sore. Then within a couple of days from the op, the soreness grew and there was swelling appearing all around his private parts. This metastasised into unbelievable swelling and he was most unhappy. So I took him back there after the fourth day and they gave more drugs. Only before they did I said the drugs before the op for a torn knee, had made him vomit. They thanked me and noted this on the computer. Then as we were leaving the nurse came out and said she'd given him a tablet. I looked down in my hand at the new tablets and realised none were open, so I asked what she gave him. Immediately upon hearing the name, I realised she'd given him the one the notes said he shouldn't of had. Ok so I let that go. Then 4 more days being 8 days from the op, my male dog was dripping with thick clear liquid from his private parts, which they blood followed. We aren't talking a few drops either but a steady stream of it. I called them and said I am coming straight away, and they said but we have appointments. Tough, I am coming so I put the phone down and started driving. On the way there and one minute from arrival with more blood and nastiness pouring out, I called them to say we would be there in minutes. When we arrived I rushed in and the nurse looked at me dumbfounded before saying well she can't do anything and he will have to wait outside in the carpark ten minutes. Then when the dog came out that was being seen, it ran and bounced out suggesting they could have held the appointment back, as my dogs problem was serious. Then inside they looked at him and after a couple minutes said well they are busy with appointments but they will look at him properly in 3 hours. So they kept him in and sedated him. Then after 3.5 hours they rang me and said they didn't do anything but cleaned his private parts which were obviously infected. They did say though that after spending 385 for the castration, this thirty minute look and his sedation would cost me 230 pounds extra. No way. So they operate and he gets infected in the operation, then with prior notice they leave me outside ten minutes when he's bleeding heavily, and after 3 hours leaving him in a cage and thirty minutes work, they want 230 extra. I had said on the phone I won't be paying, only when I had arrived to collect him, the young assistant said 230 and I was shocked. I asked if she knew I wasn't prepared to pay for their mistake. She said she was but she just thought she would try asking again. Terrible service. Don't have a potion for animals just taking your MONEY.Read Less

I can't praise the team at Hawthorn highly enough. They have looked after various members of our menagerie over the years (guinea pigs, rabbits, cat & dog), they are all very kind & caring and were particularly lovely when I made the awful decision to have our beloved cat put to sleep at 16 y/o. You couldn't entrust your pets' wellbeing to a better bunch of people! :) Read Less
