Davies Vetinary Specialists are excellent. Our little dachshund was admitted as an emergency with an i.v.d.d I jury to his spine. He was seen swiftly on the day by one of their highly skilled vetinary surgeons. He had an m.r.i. scan to diagnose the damage to his spine and then surgery all in the same day. We were updated on his progress every day until discharge. The after care was also excellent. We were given very good advice on what do in the way of exercise and physiotherapy at home. The entire team at Davies are all very kind, caring and friendly. Thank you to you all.

Taken by reception staff to meet consultant oncologist. An hour of intense questioning of my dogs general health and the issues we were there for. He was Taken away for bloods and urine tests and I was given a detailed report of what had been found, and the options open.

We've seen Luca several times while getting cancer treatment for our cat, Loony. He's been simply wonderful at every step of the way. Always took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all the many, many questions I had, discussed through our options, and made sure I was happy with what was going on. He's such an empathetic person and seems quite invested in his patients, which is exactly what you'd like from your vet. If I could have him as our regular vet for our cats, I would swap in a heartbeat! Receptionists always seemed happy to help, replied promptly to any emails I've sent with questions, everything was was very smooth!

We had an outstanding experience with the team, and I can’t speak highly enough of Vet Zoe. From the very beginning, she kept us consistently updated, which made an incredibly stressful situation much easier to manage. Zoe demonstrated exceptional knowledge and confidence when assessing our kitten’s condition. She took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring we fully understood what was happening and what the plan would be. Her calm and reassuring manner gave us real confidence that our kitten was in the best possible hands. When it came to the surgery, Zoe acted promptly and professionally, and we felt completely reassured by her expertise throughout. The level of care, attention, and communication we received from start to finish was truly exceptional. We are incredibly grateful to Zoe and the whole team for their dedication and compassion. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our kitten.

Sofia Rapastella - internal medicine department was absolutely amazing. I can’t fault her care and attention and also the follow up/ aftercare. She really came across so caring like my cat was her own. Thank you!!

My Cocker Spaniel broke his elbow in 2 places at the age of 10, my vet refered me to Davies. The service Frank received was excellent, I received regular updates and clear instructins for the next part of his care. He is doing very well 7 weeks on. Thank you.
