The Best Veterinary Cares in East Stoke, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Whilst on holiday my two dogs managed to sneak two pain au raisins from my daughter’s bag! The practice at Wareham agreed to see them immediately and the vet, nurses and receptionist were exceptional. All extremely friendly, helpful and lovely with both my dogs. (They even found a band to tie back my bassets ears whilst she vomited)! Really impressed with this veterinary surgery and many thanks once again for all your help. Ps the dogs both managed lunch on the beach and the trip back to London in good spirits despite this start to the day.

Lynwood Vets in Wareham is an exceptional veterinary practice. Debbie at reception is amazing. She's always so helpful, patient with immense kindness and understanding. She goes way & beyond to he helpful in every way. All the vets there have ALWAYS taken great care to treat & look my pet. Duncan who has treated my pet is just phenomenal. He has always treated my pet with kindness & really cares about her welfare. Everytime we see him, he does everything to make sure that my pet is well. He goes out of his way & tries to do all that he can to make sure she has the utmost treatment & care. I hope he never retires as he is the BEST vet I've ever seen.

We have always been very happy with the care given to our cats by Selena, Emily and now Duncan and all the nurses and staff. However, the care has been exceptional at times.. including operations for Basil by Emily and Selena. Most recently we had to make the difficult decision to let Rosie be put to sleep at Wareham… Duncan could not have been kinder, patiently and professionally explaining, thereby helping us to make an informed & right choice. Collecting her ashes was hard and again the team could not have been more sensitive or kind. Thank you Lynwood vets. Penny & Michael

Lynwood Veterinary Group, Wareham - very kind and considerate and sent an ambulance to collect Richard's and my dead cat, Teddy Bear this past Friday. The young woman who came to pick up Teddy Bear was also very kind and sympathetic

I've got 2 very nervous labradors, they don't like the vets at all. However, all the staff are so friendly & patient, I think we are making progress & they were not quite so stressed on the last visit

So kind and supportive, very compassionate when having my dear little dog rosebud put to rest the other week, can't thank the staff enough for their kindness

Dave and team are excellent. I rescue Wildlife around Ferndown, Ringwood, Fordingbridge, New Forest North mainly Birds, Ducks, Swans, Deer, etc. Also Lambs, Calves, and abandoned Chickens as all lives matter. All Creatures Great And Small I Love Them All.

I first went to St Mary’s in 2012 with my cat who needed surgery following a car accident, the care from David and the team was second to none and I’m happy to say he’s still living life to the full. Fast forward 12 years, I recently had one of my cats put to sleep here and the care and compassion David showed me and my cat was so appreciated as I was heartbroken to lose my boy. Today I returned with my Labrador for his vaccination and check up and again, David shows such a care for animals and tops it all off with a gravy bone - for the dog not me. Also to the reception team for their kindness to me this month. I always feel the care and respect my animals receive is fantastic, thank you.

Upton vets were amazing when my dog Josie, my Dad and myself attended on Tuesday morning. All of Josies problems were listened to and the vet Nora was amazing with her. Jodie is now feeling a lot better and has become herself again. The receptionist was amazing and understood Josie was anxious about being at the vets and doesn’t being in a room with another dog and put a sign on the door to warn others. It’s just the little things that make a huge difference, thank you for being amazing

Always so good with my girls. I especially love Gemma and Brad, thanks for all you did for my Skye, I'll be trusting you again with Cassie next month. 🤞

They were brilliant with Douglas and ensured as a rescue and pup his experience of vets was a good one. Douglas loved Rachel the vet and his little treat. Hannah talked through their pet plan and I have to say how refreshing and professional she was rather than being force fed a sales pitch. I have joined the plan.

Very friendly, known by name and nearly always seen by the same vet. Have used them for many years and am more than happy to continue seeing them.

We are new to the area and took our cat here. The lovely people here were just so kind and caring and explained what they were doing every step of the way. If you need a vet look no further just go here....they are perfect Thank you Damory

My cats Merlin and Gus had their injections here at Damory, Blandford and the team are just so lovely. The waiting room was clean and I love that they offered towels sprayed with Feliway. There’s also a place off the ground to place your cat carrier to give that extra comfort for your cat. I’ve also signed up for the monthly pet plan. They’ve assured me that they will send text reminders for worm/flea/yearly vaccination too which is great! 🐱

I needed an emergency appointment on bank holiday for my cat and this was the only one place open for emergency in my area. Helped my cat who struggled with passing urine. The vet was very helpful and caring. Definitely recommend this place.

Annual checkups for Roobarb and Captain Custard. They're both very cautious of new humans and the vet saw was so patient and caring; neither animal seems to have suffered and lasting trauma!

perfect. Kind and friendly staff. quick appointments and waiting times. very good.

Knowledgable, kind and caring vets and nurses. We have used this practice for many years. They listen and are happy to explain things. On the occasions when we have had to leave any of our dogs in their care, I know they will be treated kindly and I trust them, this means so much.

The team both at the Wareham branch and earlier at the Upton branch have all been phenomenal to my dog this week. Having just moved to the area we weren't expecting to have to use the services so quickly, but when needed the team were all there. They were all amazing with my dog who can often be nervous around new people - especially those with thermometers ;) Everyone gave her time, space and care, and got her quickly back on track. The care we received all round far outweighs that we received at our previous surgery. It's taken the anxiety away from me now if we ever have to come back in the future. Many, many thanks to both teams.

I was on holiday so away from our usual vet and my dog started limping. I called and was offered an appointment within half an hour. Staff were very friendly and the vet thoroughly examined my dog and set my mind at ease explaining everything and immeadate treatment and follow up if necessary. Highly recommend, shame we don't live here!

I've been a customer of Natterjacks since 2012 with my first greyhound. In the years since I've taken not only my own dogs there but many others for friends and family. The practice is well organised and well staffed with huge knowledge in the vets, nurses, and assistant. They retain the 'family' feel from the early days and their empathy for you and your pet is first class, with follow up calls for your pet's wellbeing and progress after treatment. They keep up to date with the best of the new treatments ie K-lazer and medication for the best outcomes. Will always highly recommend Natterjacks

Unfortunately we had to say our last goodbyes to our elderly pug on Monday. After a rapid decline in health over the weekend, I was offered an emergency appointment only 2 hours after I phoned. My vet was Louise. She assessed the situation and ran through all of our options in order to help our loyal companion. We had to come to the decision when we got home that the kindest option for Elsie was to let her go. There are no words that will express the gratitude that I have for Louise, for making what was the hardest day of my life so far, bearable. She made it so peaceful, so calm and managed to make it a comforting experience all whilst validating our decision and emotions. By far the best vet I have ever dealt with over the years and I will always look back on this experience and say “Thankyou Louise” and I am sure that Elsie is out there somewhere equally grateful for making her last few moments so tranquil. Thankyou. Thankyou. Thankyou.

Couldn’t recommend Natterjacks enough. Our vet is Vicki, who is the absolute best. She’s so kind & knows my dog inside out, all of his lumps and bumps etc. She reassures us & puts us at ease. Going to the vets isn’t always a pleasant experience but it is with Natterjacks. Thank you, all!

We have been visiting Natterjacks for years with our pooch. Fortunately for us, we don't have to visit very often as our dog is strong and healthy but when we do, we always find them to be professional, kind and most of all caring. Our last visit was for annual vaccinations, our appointment was on time, our pooch was put at ease and didn't appear to realise he'd had an injection. I can't recommend Natterjacks enough, a brilliant Vets

North Dorset trailway is just beautiful

Great Vets, really good at making my highly strung Lab calm and comfortable

We've been with BVVC for a number of years and always receive a warm welcome and supportive advice. The staff are really tentive in all circumstances which is so important when you have fury friends to look after Thank you

The best most well equipped lovely caring veterinarians I have ever known . Will always be grateful to Vinci and Henry . They saved the life of my dog a much loved member of my family they gave me hope when there was none from any other vet practice . Thankyou so much 😘 Their dedication is not always about money 💖

A very clean and professional environment. The first points of contact, the receptionists were very polite and efficient. When we met Alba (surgeon) and her assistant, I was super impressed by how polite and thorough they were. I feel more than reassured that she will carry out the surgery on my hound to a high standard. I will report back after this is done shortly. The practice has plenty of parking, along with a number of disabled bays. The appearance of the practice is maintained to a high standard. Oh, and I nearly forgot there is a free tea and coffee bar with biscuits available 😋

My gorgeous baby Luna had BOAS surgery and she was spayed in the same day; Dr Diogo it’s a brilliant vet! He and the team took care of her soo well! Caroline gave me all the support and she made sure Luna received all the attention there! On the 3rd day Luna was back to normal despite she had all these procedures done in few hours! Thank you for taking care of my baby!

I can’t thank you guys enough for what you did for our Minnie and for Tobi and his team Minnie had to have heart surgery as she had a heart murmur at grade 6 and with her being such a tiny puppy we thout we were going to lose her but luckily the surgery worked and she now a normal puppy these guys really were amazing thankyou for all did for us and Minnie

First visit with my new cat. Very impressed with all staff and treatment. Lovely location and interior.

Whilst on holiday in the area our two dogs managed to acquire a tick each . I called the Fernhill clinic and was seen almost within the hour both times i called. I couldnt be more appreciative of the practice. First class service first class people. Thank you all .

The most friendly, kind and compassionate vets I've ever used. Couldn't recommend highly enough

First time taking Simba vet was very calm and took her time with him all and all very good.

Wonderful vets in Poole. Easy to park, lots of speedy appointments, great wonderful caring staff. My dog and I are very happy with every aspect of care we receive from them. Two happy customers. 5 star service.

Really great experience with this vet practice over the last year - they have been brilliant with our nervous rescue and because of that he has really grown in confidence when we need to visit. Would definitely recommend!

We have been using the Pet Practice for a number of years and even after we moved out of the area, have remained with them as they are excellent and prioritise the welfare of your pets. Aside for 1 locum who was horrendous and a very young vet who was ridiculously over cautious with our very young docile dog, we have only got positive things to say and praise for the staff that we deal with frequently. Asia the Vet within the Oakdale Poole practice and Stacey the receptionist both of whom, always make us feel so welcome. Asia is incredible with our four legged family who the staff know are our life. We have 5 dogs at present (Barnaby, Bonnie, Storm , Willow and Beau) .. and we lost our beautiful little ShitZu Bella a few months back and as stated previously, the compassion from the veterinary staff was amazing. Thank you personally from our family for taking care of our pack and being a truly wonderful and amazing practice.

We absolutely are blown away by the fantastic staff and overall service provided by Pet Practice in Poole. Our highly anxious GSD literally hates vets, yet Anna K and Ben and all the Veterinary Nurses have been able to calm him down and make him feel safe. He had to have surgery for the first time this year and he was not traumatised. It is amazing. Thank you all at Pet Practice.
