Thank you to everyone at Medivet Canvey Island, who cared for my kitten Nova during her stay with you due to being spayed. From the first phone call I made when I registered her, I felt that you were all kind and caring, and had empathy. Everyone I have had contact with when visiting Medivets, for vaccinations, setting up monthly Pet Plan for flea and worming treatments and check ups have been friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Medivet Canvey Island to other pet owners. Thank you again!

It's a bright, clean, waiting room and a friendly place to visit, the chairs are well spaced to avoid furry confrontations & there's plenty of room outside to walk impatient patients around...our dog included..(one jack russell with a super loud woofer!!), so theres no stress, until it's time to go.into the actual surgery!! The staff are always aware and alert to anything that might happen, & the opening hours and Saturday opening means that it's usually fairly easy to get an appointment to suit everyone..Best vet yet!!
