We have recently lost our 5 year old border to this vets who was just going in to be spayed she went in at 9am I rang at 11 to see how she was I was told she was fine and to pick her up at 5pm as they want to monitor her I went into the vets at 4.30 to be told by the receptionist the lady to who looking after our dear Peppa isn’t back yet so come back at 5 I was told she needed another operation because she was bleeding heavily so since 11am she wasn’t checked or wasn’t checked enough to notice her bleeding as they clearly didn’t do the first op correctly so I went home and waited I had a call at between half 8-9 to say she had a 50/50 chance I went to say my goodbyes to my dear little friend and to be told she wouldn’t know I was there I put my hand by her to sit on the stool next to her and she lifted her head up and placed it on my hand I talked to her for a while rubbed her ears as that is what she loved when I stopped she moved her head to say do it again then the lady said she was closing up and will check on her at 11 I feel vets should stayed over night and cared for her in this state at 11pm we had a call to say she had passed when I asked the time of death the first words “I think” shouldn’t of been a thinking matter peppa should of been more looked after and this should of been done right at the time of being spayed then she wouldn’t of bleed to death and she should of been checked throughly round the clock not 6 hours later!!! I can’t seem to get a straight answer from any vets as I’m getting told different things from each one I speak to.
My daughter picked her body up Friday morning for her to come home and be buried within a hour they were calling asking for the bill to be paid they could for at least gave us until that evening to lay her to rest and morne her death.
I would strongly recommend no one to use these vets as I can now see a lot of deaths from other family’s pets due to negligence! Read Less

Absolutely fantastic. I have a troublesome pup who had got herself into all kinds of strange situations. Most recently, she ate a tin and had to be operated on. The whole team were absolutely fantastic and o can't thank them enough for saving my best pal. A big thank you to Sarah for everything she did. The general check ups are great too and I've found they have very reasonable prices. Read Less

Really helpful staff - reassuring to feel that you can call anytime to speak to someone for their opinion and always offer to bring the dog in if any concerns. Would highly recommend

I have been taking my 13yr old retired guide dog to Jarvis & Parsons for the last three years and have found Jo Parsons and her team to offer exceptional service - always explaining the options for treatment clearly. They have also been very helpful in helping me make insurance claims.

We have been using these vets for years for our 4 cats. At all times we have found the staff to be pleasant, caring and helpful. Last year one of our cats passed away because of a bladder complaint and the staff went above and beyond to help us through that difficult time. They allowing us to come in at all hours (we are shift workers) to spend some time with our beloved pet before he died, and I cannot thank them enough for their compassion and understanding.
I have no idea behind the circumstances of the last review, I can only say it does not match with my experiences at all. ALL vets usually require payment on the day, and I fail to see how putting up a sign stating this is somehow offensive to a person. Please ignore the previous review, this vet surgery is lovely.

The name 'Jarvis' on the plate is a deception, as the old owner Jim Jarvis no longer has anything to do with the business, which used to be very good indeed before he retired.
It seems to me that this practice is now more concerned with collecting fees from clients than the welfare of animals. There are notices all over the walls reminding clients that they are expected to pay straight away!
Furthermore, in my opinion, the new owner (Parsons) is an unprofessional, and an aggressive bully who is used to getting her own way by shouting at people and being generally unpleasant.
I would strongly recommend avoiding this surgery; there are several others in the town which are much more friendly. Read Less
