I have nothing but great things to say about the care me and my dog have received from the Heaton branch. My dog has recently had TPLO surgery due to a ruptured cruciate ligament and is now on the road to recovery. From the fab girls on reception putting up with my constant calls on the day of the surgery to Andy and Nick doing the surgery and being there to put my mind at rest on his healing progress. Can’t thank you all enough and once he is allowed to run around again, I’m sure Lennon will be very gratefulRead Less

I cannot thank the staff enough for all your help, with what i can only describe as a horrendous time. On Wednesday my lovely Cat Buster had to have a leg amputated, the staff reassured me and made the decision easier, as I was worried about the quality of life my Buster would have only having 3 legs. I would also like to thank the receptionist's who are very friendly and always helpful. Buster still has a long journey ahead of him, but with the support from First Vets I know he will make a full recovery. Thanks again Laura (P.S sorry for all the crying). Read Less
