Top Veterinary Clinics in Ferndown, Dorset

I’ve lost count of the years we’ve been with Hillside Vets. Started with our rabbit Bob who sadly had to have his life ended. Now they care for Trevor our Jack Russell X who is soon to be 13 and Daisy our Chihuahua who is 6.
All the staff are kind, loving & courteous and that’s just the owners! 😂
You can tell they love animals and even though Trevor is nervous they are so kind and reassure them both so well.
I would absolutely recommend Hillside. They may not be the cheapest but the care and attention they give to both pet and owner is sublime.
So thank you Hillside for all that you do for my pets & for all that come your way.
You are all AMAZING! 🤩
Merry furry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🎁

Hillside Vets have been absolutely fantastic so far with our puppy. We first took her there at 13wks, and have been there for several visits since then as part of their brilliant Pet Plan. Our pup loves coming here and can't get our of the car fast enough! The staff give so much love and attention to our little girl, and we feel really at ease and confident in using their services for many years to come. The staff are knowledgeable, caring, warm, and just can't give enough every time, no matter how big or small our query may be. Their social media team is also amazing and we love seeing the behind-the-scenes on their Facebook posts! What a fantastic local vet clinic with such a great team.

Can highly recommend Hillside Vets, have been visiting since we got our kittens Maisie and Leia last December. All the staff members are so friendly and helpful, their love of animals shines through. Both kittens don’t enjoy the car journey but as soon as inside vets are very calm and love the attention they get! I never feel rushed in an appointment and my list of questions is always readily answered! So lovely to have a local caring vet practice.

Edit March 2024 - I wanted to extend my review following recent months.
It's mainly to say a HUGE thank you to Keith, Bobby, Gemma, Georgia, Helen, Amber and everyone at Hillside for caring for Fudge. He's now crossed the rainbow bridge but during the weeks-months when Fudge's health started to decline he got nothing less than the best care and support from you.
Right until his last breath your empathy helped me get through that horrible day when he left me.
I'm just relief you're my boys' vets and I'll be eternally grateful for this.

Feb 2023- Fudge and Oreo love going to Hillside, from the moment we arrive at the carpark they're pulling me to get in.
The reception staff and nurses are so friendly and make a huge fuss which they just love and of course its all the treats...ssshhh don't tell everyone but you need to catch Amber or Beccie on duty ☺️
Firstly it's reassuring to know that the vet seeing you is familiar with the case if it's been ongoing. All vets are amazing. Oreo who needs regular vet visits due to multiple issues sees Bobby or Keith most of the time but soon you get to know them all. They're kind and empathetic. Very friendly and professional. Problems are explained, options and relevant consequences or outcomes discussed.
Very recently Fudge had a seizure later in the evening, we rang them to them aware of the emergency, Gemma and Chris made sure they were ready to see him and examine him straight away. Gemma helped me get Fudge, Lab of 32k, out of the car, he was just coming out of the seizure so was very disoriented and Gemma was very caring and loving with him.
I really couldn't be happier with Hillside, nothing is a bother. Prescriptions are dispensed quickly, insurance admin is done promptly. Always discussing everything with me and taking their time.
Really the best vet practice 🐾❤️

Have just been to this vet for the 1st time with my kittens. The amazing vet had both kittens so relaxed. Darla had a bad start to life but sang her way through her visit. As for Drusilla she was her ever demanding self, forcing headbutt's and treats. The kitten pack is amazing with a little teddy. The calming towel provided is a great touch and works a dream. I have found this vet to be good value for money. We were not rushed through our appointment and staff members show the love they have for animals.
