Fantastic vets. I have moved away from Colchester now but still travel 40mins to have my pets seen by the best. The care is exceptional, all the vets both my exotics and my cat and dog have seen have gone above and beyond to help regardless if it’s a routine check up or a serious problem. I’ve never felt rushed and the care this vets provides to both animals and their owners is outstanding.

I recently took my two Maine Coons to this vet for a health check, and I was thoroughly impressed. The staff were incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The doctor was exceptionally attentive, showing genuine care and concern for my pets' well-being. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would highly recommend this vet to other pet owners.

Fantastic vets, can't fault them. One of my cats, Rusty came in for tooth extractions. From start to finish, the team were friendly, compassionate and kept me up to date after the procedure. They made sure Rusty was comfortable with pain relief and cuddles. Would highly recommend.
