Absolutely respect everyone at Medivet Downes, Thorpe Bay, Essex! A fantastic team of people who care unconditionally for the animals in their care, and their owners. We have had around 50 rescue cats and they’ve been there for every one of them!!

I’d like to thank the whole team at Downes for everything they did for our Beloved Cat Bentley. Sadly he was suddenly taken ill and Van & the team tried everything they could over a few days to try and save his life, unfortunately in the end he didn’t make it.. but we are so grateful for the hard work and care in trying! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them!

After my tortoise passed away, my friend told me she had her pets registered at this vets, she called them and they discussed with her cremation procedures, she then let me know, I called them and the lady on the phone greeted me and asked ‘is it regarding Stan?’ I said yes, she spoke to me about cremations and I told her what I would like, when I attended the vets later that day, I was greeted by a lovely lady who took Stan off of me and assured me they would take good care of him and kept saying she was sorry for my loss, when I left, I knew that I had left Stan with the best possible people, from start to finish, although it was a very sad time for me, it was a very pleasant experience and professional, at the moment I wasn’t allowed inside the vets because of COVID but even stood at the door I felt welcome and I’m glad that this vets was suggested to me. I would like to thank everyone here for treating myself and my tortoise with care and respect. I would 100% recommend this vets to everyone. Thanks again.x

After a terrible experience with previous "specialists" we changed to this vet for his second femeroal head osectomy. They treated us and our puppy with the upmost care. Giving us every piece of information needed with lots of follow up appointments to check on his recovery. We can't thank Van and his team enough for their care with Copper.
