Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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 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

Although I’ve only visited a few times with my cat, they’ve always been very friendly and helpful. Right from the reception staff through to the veterinary team, they are very caring and obviously have a love for the animals. I would definitely recommend them.

Best vets by far I have ever found. They are so helpful and so professional always happy to help and always treat my fur babies like their own. They were so great yesterday when we had to take our boy in after eating things he shouldn't but he got lots of cuddles from the nurse and that made him feel so much better

Fantastic Vets at both Yeovil and Sherborne. We tried others in the area and this is The Best, for value and advice. Highly recommended, I have been a Canine Instructor for 47 years, so this is a professional opinion.

Rating: 5 / 5

We have been with the clinic for years, and have never had any issues. We have found the staff friendly, and helpful. The vets seems knowledgeable and all our animals have been calm within their setting. As with all veterinary clinics the costs have spiraled, however they offer monthly plans, that cover regular flea, tick and worm treatments, and consultations.

Rating: 5 / 5

Newton Clarke Vets is absolutely fantastic, always have time for you and explains treatment and advice so you understand. Also the monthly pet plan they have is great and highly recommend joining. Thank you also from Merlin for understanding that going through the door to the room is scary and helping me to be brave. Highly recommend Newton Clarke Vets, Sherborne or Yeovil

Exceptional care from all staff at Wincanton and Shaftesbury. Will never be able to thank vets Matt and Sacha enough for their wisdom and compassion that enabled Flora to live when it seemed all was lost. Thank you everyone.

I highly recommend these vets. They do not up sell, they listen and they suggest, and their suggestions are for the benefit of who you've brought in.

First Time of attending Longmead Vets at Wincanton with Buddy our Collie and guess what we were late, due to all-sorts of traffic problems!! We rang their reception to tell of our woes and were greeted with a really friendly can do attitude from the receptionist who assured us that our appointment was not lost. On arrival at this modern spacious clinic our Vet was so nice , she did not rush us and was helpful in answering all our questions fully. What a great experience! We fully commend Longmead Vets Wincanton for their excellent customer service. Our custom will be ongoing from now on. Wally & Jackie Drain

Always an enjoyable experience for my 4 year old Jack Russell despite her unfortunately having a few trips lately. They referred me to an incredible surgeon for TPLO and now after recovery my 4 year old can live a full and happy life. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and so easy to work with in stressful times.

Wonderful practice. All the staff are brilliant - from reception through to vet they are attentive, caring and straightforward. There’s an option for a VIP pet club which gives good savings on vaccinations, medications and treatments. There’s a good range of appointment choices and the emergency response we’ve received in the past has been second to none. Pricing is clear and any queries are clearly explained. Parking at the Kinson branch can be tricky if you need to drive as the car park is used by other businesses. However, there is free on street parking in several roads nearby. Thank you Team Aniwell!

Recently took my senior dog to the vets and the level of care he was given was second to none. The vet was lovely, helped keep things cost effective and was very complimentary of my dog and his friendliness. My dog was never once stressed about any of the tests. Would highly recommend!

Since I first enlisted the care and attention this veterinary process gives is phenomenal. They took fantastic care of my mums dog and handled her with care and sensitivity. Unfortunately, my mums dog Roma had to be laid to rest and The Kingston Veterinary helped her to rest. After a couple of weeks they even sent my mum a sympathy card and some plant seeds so that roma could live on through the life of the earth and have a beautiful remembrance. Thank you very much Kingston Veterinary for all your support and expertise - mentally and physically.

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 🐾❤️

Olaf just loves Keith…she never gets stressed with him. The entire team are really helpful and always do everything possible for clients and their pets. I would highly recommend

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.

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 🎅 🎄 🎁 xxxxx❤️

We had to visit Bredy Vets with our poorly cocker spanial whilst on holiday. I have to say the service we received from start to finish was fantastic. From the initial call from the reception team the nurse and Jon the vet he explained everything fully and in simple terms. Ordered in special food and went above and beyond. Wish our local vets where half as good. Would not hesitate to recommend these guys. Thanks for everything you did for us. James

So far I love it - been twice and has been 10 times more professional, friendly, reasonable and pleasant than our previous vet (Medivet). Would highly recommend Bredy!

Our first visit today and we would highly recommend this practice! Sarah was allocated to see us and was very kind and informative throughout the consultation and so gentle with our elderly little girl. We were able to ask lots of questions and felt in very safe hands.

Great vet's have helped us through a number of events during the past ten years. Through sad event's to more happy memories, all the staff are experienced and caring. They helped us to get a great quality of life for our beloved cavalier to treating our present dog's through puppy hood and birth of a litter of wonderful pup's.
