Lizzie has been to my ponies for 3 years now, they are both so relaxed around her and it’s made their annuals a breeze! Thanks Lizzie.

Amazing! Went to view a horse for the 2nd time on a Thursday decided that if I still liked her I would buy her and get her vetted. Phoned De Boer and Taylor late Thursday evening (6/7pm) and they said they could vet her the next day as they had a cancellation. Very professional and listened to exactly what we were planning to do with the horse and we had her 5 stage vetted the next day. Remmer phoned straight after he was done vetting and advised what a lovely horse she was and she was fit for purpose and therefor passed! An excellent quick but professional service.

Fond Farewell Vets

As a family, we recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beloved 19 year old cat, Gump. We wanted him to be at home as he’d always been such a home boy and we couldn’t bear the thought of him not being on his beloved sofa for his final sleep. We found Fond Farewell after a quick Google search and Suzy was very thoughtful and understanding when I spoke with her on the phone. James called back a little while later to confirm a few details and discuss when we’d like him to visit. As we have 2 secondary school aged daughters we asked for a later visit as we wanted to bring them home first to spend some time with Gump before James visited us, he was very accommodating regarding this. James arrived and took plenty of time to explain, firstly to my husband and myself what would happen, and then our daughters joined us before he began with the process. James was incredibly calm, professional and thoughtful when it came to dealing with not only 2 adults, but 2 heartbroken teenage girls. He never once rushed us and also went to another room whilst we said goodbye one last time as a family, before returning for the final injections. Our beautiful boy, passed away peacefully surrounded by the people who had loved him for 19 years, at home in his favourite spot and we are incredibly grateful that we could do this for him. Thank you Fond Farewell for undertaking, what cannot be an easy task, in such a thoughtful, considerate and kind manner. We will be forever thankful that on such a sad day you were able to make it just that bit easier on us all.

A huge thank you to James & Suzy for their help, understanding and consideration during an increasingly inevitable, but surprisingly unexpected and painful time of saying farewell to our treasured & well loved 15 year old Hardy. I still can’t quite believe how it all rushed up at us so quickly, even though we were now living with many of the signs, before Hardy made it clear to us that this was the moment he needed to say his farewells; before starting his next journey. Even though we weren't all at home, WhatsApp enabled both children to share their love and instruct last cuddles, kisses, strokes and goodbyes before James reassuringly and painlessly, carefully & calmly helped him on his way. We were his family, all in the room, all at home, for our Hardy's moment & final farewell and for that we will all be eternally grateful. Thank you James & Suzy for all the care, compassion and help with all that could be done from start to finish, and your kind words. The Noel Family xx

At nearly 15 years old we had to make the very hard decision to say goodbye to our gorgeous Black Labrador Charlie. Rather than taking Charlie to the vets we decided to have him put to sleep at our home. We did our research & found Fond Farewell Vets. James was superb, handling everything from start to finish sympathetically to us and with dignity & care for Charlie. For such a very sad occasion we both felt it could not of been handled better. James took care of every detail & our lovely boy had his last tasty treats on his quilt out in the garden. We will miss him everyday but we both know he had the best ending to a full & fun life. Thank you to James for helping us with making the right decision & for taking such good care of us and Charlie in his final hours. Chris & Chris

It’s almost been 2 weeks now since James visited our family home to help our dog Buster who had become suddenly very unwell. A close to 14 year old collie entwined in our lives, each day we learn to live without him here. We can not thank you enough for your support during this heart breaking time for our family. We have so much gratitude for the service you offer, allowing Buster to rest in peace at home surrounded by us all. Best wishes, Sarah.

They say it's 1 of the hardest decisions you make, and they are totally right, but with a heavy heart I made the call. From 1st phone call I was reassured and made to feel calm by James. He listened to Patch's life story and reassure me it was the best thing for him. As for the dreaded day I can not express how peacefull James made it, was able to hold patch as he drifted off snoring away in his own bed. Wasn't intrusive and wasn't rushed just very peaceful. The aftercare was outstanding. Patch wasn't a pet he was a family member, and we couldn't of wished for a better sending off.

Really friendly helpful staff. I made a mistake with the booking but they were very polite about it and bent over backwards to fit me in. They are very expensive though. Wormer and passport plus one month medication from my local vet is £92. Wormer and passport plus 2 wks medication from medivet was £130.

Exceptional Veterinary Practice. Although I have been a client for many years, my dog Jack seldom needs care. Recently however he was suffering a gland problem.. Jack is an imported rescue and the BVA recommend a safeguarding procedure (blood test) prior to any surgery in such cases due to possible Brucellosis infection. I was uncertain of the benefits, but was able to have a practical and sensible discussion with Giles, beforehand Jack had the procedure under sedation & Giles whipped out a loose back tooth too. Jack is not insured, but I was given an estimate of cost at our initial consultation which matched our final invoice. Thank you Giles, it seems to have done the trick and Jack has forgiven you (almost!)

My dog was spayed yesterday, as you can imagine I was very anxious. The nurse was excellent she explained exactly what was going to happen, she let me know when my dog came round from the operation and when I could collect her. The nurse brought her out to me and even carried her to the car. I cannot praise this nurse enough the operation went well and me dog is recovering well, so thank you to the vet and many thanks to all the staff. I can't recommend this practice enough especially after the problem with my last vet. Thank you

We had to say goodnight to our gorgeous girl Mimi last month, after 14yrs together. Medivet Dorchester was our 24hr emergency practice and saw Mimi within the hour Rita the duty vet was so compassionate. Rita tried her hardest to help Mimi and made sure we were fully informed of all possibilities. We unfortunately had to make the hard decision to say goodnight. Rita and the staff allowed us to spend the time to say our good nights before she left us and to stay during and after her leaving us. We cannot thank Rita and her team for all they did for us on that distressing evening. Our faith in the staff led us to leave our then practice and register our dogs with Dorchester Medivet
