Fantastic vets! Our cat broke his back leg in December, he is older with health issues and we were told the location of the break may mean it wasn’t fixable. Fortunately I saw this practice online and Karl and the team worked their magic! Our beautiful crazy boy had an operation to pin and plate his leg and after some gruelling crate rest he is well on the road to recovery. All of the staff are lovely, patient and caring and we would thoroughly recommend them.

Karl showed our dog Luna (and us!) so much genuine care and kindness throughout a long series of operations and recovery periods which were more complex than we had all hoped. He was a reassuring presence for every appointment, phone call and email, and his passion for helping animals is very clear to see. We are so thankful to Karl and the team for all their hard work and dedication in getting our beautiful rescue girl back on her feet and doing what she loves - out walking & exploring again. We would absolutely recommend Orthopaedic Vet Ashbourne to anyone who needs them. Thank you so much Karl & co!

Excellent service would definitely recommend. Our choc lab needed a very large fatty lump from inside her right leg. Our vet couldn’t do it, so referred us to Karl and the team. Professional service She’ll be a lot happier in 3 days when hopefully the cone can come off Thank you again Karl and the team

I cannot recommend highly enough. Our Old English Bulldog Martha needed cruciate ligament surgery. We had been referred here by our vets in North Manchester and despite the distance I would have no hesitation in going back if needed. From start to finish Karl and the team made the entire process easy and stress free, putting us at ease of any worries we had. On the day of the surgery we were kept fully up to speed and the communication with Karl during Martha's recovery was first class. Thank you so much.

Karl and everyone at Orthopedic Vet Ashbourne were fantastic from start to finish. When I found out my dog needed surgery and was referred to them through my own vets, Orthopedic Vets Ashbourne arranged a date for her operation very promptly and sent over all the relevant information so I knew exactly what was was happening and what I needed to do in the run up to the operation itself. They worked alongside my insurance company so I didn't have to worry about that side of things and this took another weight off my shoulders at a very stressful time. When the date for my dog's operation arrived, we were greeted by a friendly and warm reception who helped put our minds at ease. My dog's surgeon was Karl and his love for animals was abundantly clear. He made not only my dog but myself feel at ease and explained everything clearly so that I was fully aware of what was going to happen, making me feeling confident and safe leaving my dog in his care. When I went to pick up my dog after her operation, she had obviously received the best of care and once again, Karl fully explained what had happened and the aftercare needed (she even received a cute welcome pack containing some treats, poo bags and a ball). The next day, Karl rang to see how my dog was doing which I thought was a very kind, personal touch and during the eight week recovery time until my dog needed her follow up x-rays, Karl was always at the end of an email and always had time to answer any questions or worries that I had. The care my dog (and myself) received throughout the whole process from everyone at the practice was second to none and their prices are also incredibly reasonable. I highly recommend their services and am incredibly thankful for the treatment and care that my dog received. She now has a new lease of life and can once again look forward to long walks and adventures pain free and I cannot thank them enough.
