Coastway Shoreham is a fantastic branch and a credit to the Coastway name. In the many years we've had our rabbits in their care we've always found them to be genuinely lovely and - most importantly - putting the animal first. The staff are friendly, dedicated and professional. I can't think of anyone else I would trust with the care of any of our small army when they're not feeling themselves! Read Less

I have always found coastways to be welcoming and sympathetic when I have taken my cat to them, and the receptionist is also well informed .

Took my boy in to have minor op at the Brighton branch and just wanted to say thank you to the staff for taking into account his reactivity to other dogs and not making me or him feel like it was an inconvenience. And to the lovely nurse who let us leave via the fire exit so he did not have to be walked through a very busy waiting room after his op.Read Less

From a standing start not knowing why my pooch was in such pain, to getting an honest diagnosis, I can't fault how great they've been. A ruptured cruciate ligament would be tough for anyone, let alone a small, older dog. But the operation was executed perfectly and (despite my best efforts), she has already managed to jump up onto the sofa, after only 2 weeks. More than happy with Paul & the team and I look forward to having a much happier, more mobile dog. Read Less

Alastair Ball at the Shoreham by Sea branch has looked after our soppy Labrador Hogan for many years now and I would never trust my beloved pooch to be in the hands of anyone else! One of the first times Alastair saw Hogan (was just routine appt for jabs or something), he diagnosed a mass cell tumour in Hogan's head which had been misdiagnosed on MANY occasions by another vet as a cyst! Luckily, after very invasive surgery, Hogan was all clear. Alastair has also just put one of my daughters beloved guinea pigs through a massive surgery. We are SO grateful to the compassion and care shown by ALL the staff at Shoreham by Sea. Thank you all so much Read Less

Claire and the whole Team at Telscombe are quite simply outstanding. All 3 of my dogs owe their lives, and more importantly the quality of their lives, to Claire's outstanding experience. Her gentleness and understanding in the handling of all pets I have seen there is quite touching. And what a relief it is to have Andrea there when Claire isn't. Read Less

Today our Border Terrier Kes returned to see Jenny, this time for a booster jab and general checkup. Had it not been for the amazing work of Jenny and her team, Kessi would not be here today, having suffered an extremely bad poisoning incident in October last year. We cannot recommend Jenny enough and we thank the team for all their hard work and for bring Kessi back from the brink, giving him 24 hour care until he came back around. He is a happy little dog and we have these vets at Coastway to thank for having him at home with us today. Thank you. Read Less

Andreas, you have been simply outstanding in the exemplary way you have for many years looked after our beloved Airedale Terriers, Cassius and Kira. Sadly we have lost both of them in less than two months, first and suddenly was Kira at 11.5 years old (who we rescued from Glasgow aged 15 months), and last week Cassius, (who we'd owned since a puppy) at nearly 14 years old - a great age for an Airedale! We take solace and reassurance in knowing that both dogs had a wonderful life with us and that we, together with Andreas's help did everything possible for them. Not only in being a super vet over the years and especially in the twilight of their time he has been a rock of support to us and his deep care and understanding the dogs' needs shining through every time. Going beyond the immediate medical care, when Kira passed, Andreas also suggested we think about getting another, smaller female dog to ease the grief and also give some new life to the ageing Cassius. We love Terrier character so settled on a Lakeland Terrier - found a lovely breeder in Leicester and two weeks ago became the proud owners of Sasha. They became great friends for only 10 days before Cassius sadly went to the Grand Kennel above (again Andreas and Paula at Rottingdean were simply amazing at this time - so truly caring and professional), but I truly believe Cassius had welcomed her into the family before handing over his mantle. Had we not taken Andreas's advice we would have been in an awful place at the moment, but having Sasha as a new lease of life in the home is a gift! She's so full of life and character it's impossible to be sad for too long - although Cassius and Kira will always be in our hearts. A totally new idea and shot across the bows from Andreas saying we should consider showing her her...let's she how she develops in time but thank you for all you have done for the Airedale's and undoubtedly in the future for Sasha too. Thank you very much Andreas - born to be a veterinary surgeon!Read Less
