Vets,staff etc good. Company who owns the business is too quick to send texts. Even had one on CHRISTMAS DAY! Too many texts sent to established clients (50 years plus). We don't need reminding and I find it insulting! Never happened when the vets ran the business.

I recently visited the Park Veterinary Clinic regarding my dog’s skin infection, which requires a clean and sterile environment for healing. While the staff were polite, I was highly concerned by the overall hygiene standards of the facility during my visit. There was a noticeable and frankly unacceptable amount of animal hair throughout the main areas, creating an impression of general uncleanliness. Given that my dog was already vulnerable with an active skin infection, this lack of sanitation was deeply worrying, raising fears that he could catch a secondary infection or aggravate his existing condition due to poor environmental standards. A veterinary clinic must prioritize sterilization and cleanliness, and this facility fell short of that basic requirement. The second major issue was the pricing. The costs for the consultation and services were exceptionally high, which would be justifiable if the facilities and service quality were top-tier. However, the high price point did not align with the visible lack of basic maintenance and hygiene standards I observed.

All the vets have been very good with our cat. She is very nervous about going and they have all been great and very caring when she has her check ups and vaccinations. She is part of the health club so you have a set monthly fee for check ups and treatments. Highly recommended. Thank you

Would highly recommend :) The staff are friendly, the receptionist is lovely and even held my pup for me whilst I retrieved my phone from my van. They've been very helpful with my 10 week old rottie and her poorly tummy. Wouldn't go anywhere else now

I have been going to this practice with my current and previous dog for some years now. This is an excellent practice with friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Always friendly and welcoming when you walk into reception. Patient with dogs who are nervous and reluctant to enter. Informative and professional. Would definitely recommend!
