Awful place - please do not go here, you'll be charged a very minimum of THREE times the amount you would elsewhere, they are not at all compassionate and all they care about is taking people's money! They wanted 400 to operate on a rat- it was cheaper for me to get on the train and go to a vets in Stoke-On-Trent - I spent well under 200 including the train tickets in the end...
Since then I have found a lovely vets in Birmingham, as my rat's tumour returned and he was very unwell... This only cost me 26 for a consultation, euthanasia and cremation all included - Orchard vets in Oldbury. Absolutely lovely, understanding and empathetic staff there... As opposed to this place, but it's easy to see why they have such good reviews, they act so nice, friendly and welcoming but it's all fake, they guilt trip you into spending loads of money! As I stated, they wanted 400 for the op, 37 for a consultation, and even wanted me to pay extra for pain relief on top... I got told if I couldn't afford it, I would have to have the rat put down and I should make my decision within the next 24 hours. Even had the vet ring me at home the next day, asking me if I've made my decision because my rat is suffering - at this point he wasn't suffering at all and was running around, like his happy usual self.
I'd highly recommend The Orchard Vets in Oldbury, very low prices but genuinely nice, and genuinely care about what is best for the animal. Read Less
