I’ve been bringing my dog and cat to Lynwood vets for two or three years now, and have always been very satisfied. The staff are all friendly and professional, there’s a comfortable waiting area and my animals are both surprisingly relaxed when we visit.

I just wanted to say how absolutely amazing this practice is! But particularly Nurse Leanne who my spaniel Darla absolutely adores! Darla ended up needing to come in for bandage changes every few days which she wasn’t keen on at first, but after meeting Leanne she went from trying to pull me out the door, to being the wiggliest spaniel ever - excited to see the nurse for her checkups! You made the whole experience great, thank you!

Lynwood Veterinary Group consists of people who genuinely care for our pets as their own. I have been with Lynwood for at least 20 years and have never experienced anything but the best and most empathetic, compassionate service from any member of staff I have dealt with. I trust them completely!

Phoned the emergency vet as I was very concerned about my puppy. Lynwood ate the emergency vet and they agreed to see me immediately. My puppy made a miraculous recovery within a few minutes of being with the vet. They were very kind and did not charge me for the visit. Have had dealings with Lynwood over the years. They are excellent. Thank you

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.

Dan Makin is an exceptional vet, we wont go anywhere else - Max our cat has been described as well behaved and easy to handle by Dan - but this is down to Dan understanding Max and his needs because he is not like this with other vets we have used prior to moving to Dorset. Max is a large cat nearly 14 years old and knows who he likes and who he doesnt like but when Dan holds Max in his arms, Max is calm and I have never seen a vet handle Max in this way which re assures me that Max is happy during and after any treatment. Dan and his team care go the extra mile for the animals and owners, we are not local to Poole about a 30 minute drive from the practice but we wont go any where else for his treatment and care. Thank you Dan for being so caring to Max and to his fussy Mum - you are so understanding and exceptional in your role of being a Vet - we are lucky to have you as our vet

This veterinary practice is not my usual vets (we are registered with one about 15 miles from home) but I needed my 13 year old dog to be seen quickly so took her locally to Vets4Pets Holes Bay. We saw a vet named Dan (NOT the owner, another Dan) who was absolutely brilliant. Very sadly, our dog was PTS but Dan was brilliant, before, during and after. We spoke at length, he didn’t rush me, time wasn’t an issue, he understood my concerns, he listened and advised with compassion. Absolutely brilliant vet. So on this one occasion we needed this surgery , the vet we saw was exemplary. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Vicky Effemy the vet nurse and also the receptionist (don’t know her name) I spoke to that morning, were incredibly comforting for which I am very grateful.

If you’re ever worried about your pet out of hours this is the place to take them. Receptionist was so patient and lovely with me, as I was crying over the phone. Upon arrival she was so nice and understood that our staffy Izzy was nervous of dogs and arranged for the vet to collect us from the car. The vet took decisive action and was upfront and totally honest about costs, chances of survival and what would be best for us. He gave our staffy a dose of steroids that no doubt got her through the weekend ready for our usual vets on Monday morning. She has since been diagnosed with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, and she is incredibly poorly. We’re still not sure if she will pull through, but the vet was also very honest about a blood transfusion and the cost of at least £5000. He put our minds at rest in that we are doing everything we can and he saved her little life over that weekend for sure. The charge was very reasonable, which was on a Sunday with steroids, antibiotics and anti sickness. So so glad we took a chance on them. Thank you so much and thank you for being human, we have found other vets, especially emergency ones quite the opposite.

Tom was amazing. He got Monty seen straight away and was so kind and made me feel at ease. The reception staff, especially Laura were kind and so helpful

Emergency out-of-hours service. Staff lovely and immediately took my dog to examine and then informed us of possible causes. To be truthful we thought we had lost her! Clean environment. Just one opinion, our dog was not insured and final bill was horrendous after a 12 hour stay overnight. Next day we picked her up to take to our normal Vets. I know you cannot put a price on your animal's health but can understand why so many people dump pets as they can't afford the cost of Veterinary fees nor the insurance. Thank goodness for credit cards but we will be paying for this treatment for the next year or so.

My 15 year old cat, who we already knew had an ongoing illness, suddenly became much worse today. Being a Sunday and tomorrow Bank Holiday Monday, I was referred to Bournemouth/Wimborne “Vets Now” Emergency Hospital. They were wonderful! Yes, they were busy with many incoming emergencies but that was to be expected. After a while we were seen by an extremely compassionate vet who made a examination of Bamboo and came to the same conclusion, euthanasia was needed to avoid any further suffering. The whole process was explained clearly and without fuss which I appreciated. Medication was prepared and we proceeded to let Boo-cat go gently and peacefully to sleep. I put all future arrangements in the vets hands, as individual cremation and return of his ashes could be arranged at the same time. When you first take on responsibility for the life of an animal you hope for fun and happiness together for many years. The happiness you gain from their companionship and trust has to be repaid at the end of life too, by being aware of their pain and giving them a peaceful end to a life well lived. A huge “Thank You” to everyone at ‘Vets Now’ Wimborne this evening, who cared so well for me and for my lovely black cat who was such a good boy for so long. Good memories Bamboo. Be at peace xx

Always has the pets' best interest at heart, rather than the profit driven experience I've had at other multi national owned vetinary surgeries. Good common sense approach, kind and caring.

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!)

Our puppy Chase had an overnight stay at Stokewood vets and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for all the wonderful staff, especially Adrian. It is a privilege to have Chase at Stokewood. All of you did your best for him and provided high quality care and love for our Chase and I cannot thank you enough for that. These challenging times are hard for everyone but I am so appreciative for all of the staff members as it is no different for all of you doing your day to day job at the very best you can for all the pets that come your way. So thank you. I am so glad we have gone with this vets and from the bottom of my heart am so pleased with the care you gave my puppy and will forever be thankful for it. It is so surreal with everything going on but for these amazing staff members it is no different seeing as they are still working. I am so grateful their are people like all of you in these world. Very happy that we are with Stokewood and would highly recommend to anyone! You are all amazing! Stay safe and take care, all of you. Extra special thank you from Chase :)

Visited today with my 11 month cocker spaniel as I wanted a second opinion. Very helpful and professional and put my dog at ease allowing them to check in his mouth. Would definitely recommend. Thank you to all that I spoke to today

Need an appointment for my King Charles Spaniel, as she seemed in a lot of distress today. Got an appointment for this morning. Very friendly staff, my dog enjoyed the visit and seems a lot more comfortable. So I’d like to say thank you for your help and support
