Find another practice. Medivet became an industry and pets are not the core business anymore. The staff is very unfriendly.

Went for my second visit yesterday, puppy vaccinations. The girls were really excited to be back there and the whole process went painlessly, they didn't complain one bit.

Inflated prices Medivet in Cross street quoted over £1,500 for dental care for my dog. In view of this very high price, I contacted another vet and they charged me just over £500 for carrying out the same dental work. The £500 included medication and 3 additional visits to check on the outcome of the procedure. They have carried out a wonderful job. More recently, I contacted Medivet again (they are my local vet) and asked for a quote for squeezing my dog's anal gland - their quote was £330. When I enquired why the quote is so high, they said that they would perform the procedure under anaesthesia. Other vets quoted around £30. There is a risk involved with the use of anaesthesia and it is best to avoid it, if possible. According to other vets, there is no need for anaesthesia for a simple procedure such as squeezing a dog's anal gland. It appears that as far as Medivet is concerned, the main consideration is financial and not the welfare of the animal.

They’re the best. Been going there for probably 10 years. Can’t recommend David and the team enough. Thank you!!

The cost of the treatment was quite eye-watering. For a cat dental descale the base price was £395 but with a single additional extraction it was an additional £200 - £600 in total. This is more than I would pay for human treatment. Its hardly surprising the CMA is investigating vet pricing and I fear the sector is in danger of killing the golden goose. This is sadly a reflection of PE sector consolidation and price gouging.

They're not very nice, called to register my cat and also ask about student work placement. Before I had a chance to even ask about my cat I got abruptly cut off with "I have never heard of what you're asking for". I tried to speak again, same thing. Just left it and will call a different vet.

This is my favourite practice. The receptionists are always lovely and trying to help, whilst David the vet is just the best and caring professional there is. I would not go anywhere else with my pet!
