Rating: 5 / 5

I loved the calm environment in Whisker and Woof as well as the gentle demeanour of everyone working there. This was my first time visiting. Jason is an experienced vet and showed his concern for the well-being of my cat who was so relaxed during the examination. The practice is also so beautifully decorated which adds to the calming atmosphere.

I am very pleased about the treatment our cat received and super excited to bring the rest of my cats here. We were seen by Jason who looks like a very experienced vet and actually cares about animals. He was very gentle and didn't want to pressure our cat who is a bit frail. We took our very senior cat to fix its dental issues but Jason told us that general anesthesia is not possible due to the cat being underweight and the fact that it has more serious underlying problems. I was completely oblivious to those health issues but Jason explained why they're serious and what they could be. He suggested blood tests first to see what the problem is and then address the dental stuff. Not many vets are that responsible and caring. The receptionist is the nicest and kindest person. She gave us clear instructions about the medication and explained the costs and everything. The place itself is very cozy and has a très chic aesthetic to it. It doesn't smell weird or anything and is super clean. The total cost was very reasonable given the quality of the treatment and Jason was kind enough to see us twice within the day to take a blood sample. Overall I'm very pleased with the treatment we've received so far and I wouldn't even consider going to another vet.

I am actually a Vet myself and chose to pay and come to Whiskers and Woof for the unique experience! I arrived to a beautiful, calming, quirky designed waiting room and was greeted with an amazing reception - "would you like a coffee?" (from the dedicated client coffee machine!) What a way to wait for the vet! Jason is very confident and I trust him with my cats, which is coming from myself who is a vet. He handled my kittens with care when giving their vaccinations and microchip. I am actually looking forward to coming back for their vaccinations in this lovely clinic to see them again.

You can tell that people love what they are doing by only entering the lobby. My cat was the best indication of the good vibes in the clinic. Usually she is quite nervous from the moment we enter the vets. But this time she was relaxed, and was looking around with interest. It was funny how she recognised the cat in the picture on the wall, and was examining it for a few minutes. The personnel are very friendly and caring. My cat gave the nurse a cuddle. Even though we had the evening appointment the doctor was attentive and cheerful. And his approach to the problem gave me confidence he is trying his best to find out the reason for the problem and solve it. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need.

Chose this vet after seeing the Google reviews and wasn’t disappointed. Alan was lovely with our puppy for her first vet visit and spent double the appointment slot to provide information and answer our questions. Puppy left more relaxed than when we arrived. Really happy I chose this vet, even though it isn’t the closest one to me.

I have visited twice recently with my cat Geir. Both times we got an appointment at short notice and the reception team was very friendly and professional. We've seen Carla and she's a lovely vet - takes time to listen and discuss options and is very kind and caring when handling Geir.

We’ve been with this vet for over two years now, and it’s hands down the best veterinary practice we’ve ever visited. Before finding them, we tried a few other clinics, but none compared to the level of care and professionalism here. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the vet is amazing—always happy to help and genuinely caring about the animals. We’re so grateful to have found them!

After my dog pinched and swallowed the plastic netting from a joint of beef my regular vet couldn’t fit him in. Blackheath vets came to the rescue and saw him immediately. The kind staff helped him to be sick and he soon brought it back much to my relief. I really recommend this vet practice. Lovely friendly can-do staff and vets

I would highly recommend Medivet! The team and vets are absolutely amazing. My fur baby is a new patient, and they have treated him with the utmost care. Previously, we were at a different practice in Catford where the staff was very dismissive and frankly, quite horrible. My dog was suffering from ongoing ear infections and had a significant growth on one of his back legs, which the previous practice failed to address properly. It was truly a blessing in disguise when we were referred to Medivet, especially after the growth on his leg burst. From our very first appointment, all our questions and concerns were thoroughly addressed. They scheduled surgery to remove the growth the following week. I can’t recall the name of the vet who performed the surgery, but he was fantastic! I had a million questions, and he answered every single one without making me feel like I was bothering him. On the day of my dog’s surgery, I think I called the practice five times to check on him, and each time the staff was incredibly supportive and reassuring. Thank you, Medivet, for your exceptional care!

I have only called a few times now, but the people working here always pick up the phone quickly and are so kind and helpful. Will definitely bring my cat here if there are any issues or for yearly vaccinations. Edit a year later: had an urgent problem and was seen promptly on the same day. The vet was super kind and helpful, even applied the first treatment there and then. The reception team were also great - just like last time answered the phone quickly and were very accommodating. Thank you!

Great vet. I’m able to get same day appointments and the vet I’ve seen for the last few appointments over the last year and a half is fantastic. She cares greatly for the wellbeing of my cat and is very friendly and knowledge. Very grateful for a great local vet

We had a problem with our son’s tortoise whilst my son was on holiday. The team at Medivet Catford were outstanding. They saw the tortoise quickly and were sympathetic but realistic on the options available and the potential outcome of each. It made a hard decision easy. When we collected the tortoise, they had made a fantastic effort to wrap him with care. Everything they did was carefully and respectfully done. Truly outstanding service which we very much appreciated.

My first time at this vets and I was very pleased with the service and the vet “Anna” who dealt with my dogs tail in injury. I was nervous about changing from my old vets, but now I’m very confident and will be happy to return when needed. I highly recommend Paxton veterinary clinic gipsy road.

I have two cats and just recently added a puppy to our family Paxton Vets in Gypsy Hill is one of the most friendliest vets that I have ever encountered. The staff are lovely helpful understanding and would go the extra mile. They don’t only pay attention to you but also to your pet, they create a calm atmosphere so all my pets feel comfortable going to the vets

I found Paxton vets for my 2 bunny rabbits after moving from the USA to France to the UK. It is very hard to find experienced rabbit veterinarians (especially in a new country). But Paxton Vets treat them so well, with such gentle kindness and always listen intently to my concerns so I feel heard and understood. They are clearly knowledgeable with rabbits and I trust them. Whenever I have a question the vet herself gets back to me (same day) via email with the answers I need, suggestions, etc. It is clear customer and pet care are of top priority here at Paxton Vets (Gipsy Road) - many thanks!

We adopted our cat Lily from C Hammond Lewisham- January 2021 - 3 yrs and 4 mths ago. She is a lovely little cat but quite nervous - she is 13 years and 5mths old now and is aging gracefully. We love her as much as she loves her heated mat!!!

Visited last Saturday to potentially see if I could adopt a cat, following a video call that week. Such a calm, friendly and professional team. They do such an important role looking after and nurturing all these cats. I'd say keep an open mind with viewing the cats and bring a cat food donation when going to this centre.

My dog was seriously ill they did everything they could with empathy and professionalism. Although he passed, all avenues had been looked at before doing what was best for him in the long run. I thank them for being honest and taking the time to discuss with us all the options and potential risks to my families beloved dog Bob's life. They were caring and compassionate in a very difficult time and did the best they could for Bob.

I am very happy to have moved my pet to the Animal Clinic. The staff is helpful, reminders and online service to pre-order repeat medication is received promptly. Very happy with the overall service.

This isn’t our usual vet - which is 150 miles away - but am now registered for when we are in London with our Tibetan, Ted. I am extremely glad we found such an excellent practice. Our 12 year old dog became ill suddenly and it was very worrying. Everyone I interacted with on the phone and at the practice was lovely & Jill, the vet was thorough and very reassuring. Thank you.

I have used The Animal Clinic for many years, from my previous dog to my current puppy. The team have always been welcoming and very friendly, offering clear advice through each part of process. I would highly recommend this vet practice to anyone who is looking for a warm and inviting environment for your pet and yourself.

I would like to thank all the doctors and staff aspecially Dr Thiago and Nurse Leah for the care they gave to my cat Bebe, thank you for being always available, helpful, understanding and compassionate. She had a difficult journey with some issues but she started feeling better, and on her way to full recovery. A very good practice to bring your pets in.

Really like this vets; very caring and professional staff - you don’t feel they are only in it for the money, which cannot be said for all veterinary surgeries at the moment unfortunately. Not especially cheap but good care and straight, honest communication about options and costs. And animal welfare clearly comes first.

The best vet in south London by far. I had my last pet in their care up to the end which was dealt with the utmost dignity and loving care. My new companion is of course also registered with them. All staff are amazing without exception. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for being there to care for our loved ones when we need your support. Thomas and Toffee

We are always welcomed when we visit the vet. The vets are always able to calm Mia by stroking and communicating with her in a soft tone, which she is always receptive to. If the visit is for a check up, the vets are very thorough in their examination and always provide clear information on Mia's current health and any possible future health issues. Great service all round!

I took my dog here as she was still poorly having visited our own vet the day before. They were helpful friendly and a vet who cared about Maisie and actually looked at her injury which my own vet didn't bother doing. Well done I will definitely return.

I would love to thank the amazing staff at Streatham Hill Vets after the wonderful and most thoughtful gift they sent my mum today, after losing her very old cat Tinkerbell a couple of months ago, today she received the most sweetest remembrance of her beloved Cat. Beautiful footprints and a snipping of her beautiful black coat. It made my mum very emotional but with happy memories of her 17 year old cat. The timing was perfect, you really did a great job of caring for her baby when she was poorly and making the heartbreaking process easier to manage. Well done guys, a massive Pat on the back to you guys for being so so thoughtful. Can’t thank you enough for making my mums day. I really do appreciate everything you’ve done then and today. Can’t recommend you guys enough. Rachel
