We use Ashleigh Vets for our two guinea pigs. After finding out both had ovarian cysts, Elisa suggested a spay. I was really reluctant, but Elisa (Gonzales) was fantastic in allaying my fears. I am pleased to report the two guinea pigs have recovered beautifully, despite some initial complications. Thank you so much for your care and compassion.

Lovely friendly clean veterinary practice, my guinea pig developed heart disease suddenly at 7yo & he was treated with tablets. They soon had him running around again & I had an extra 6w with him to come to terms with his illness. He passed peacefully in his sleep no suffering & am very grateful for their marvellous care

I called the clinic as we suspected that our cat could have a urine infection. They said that they would need to see him the same day to treat him urgently. After getting them there they attended to him and sorted him out. The duty of care has always been second to none, thank you to Chloe and the team who answered my numerous calls and emails and explained to me step by step of what was taking place. Thanks everyone

Great service for exotic pets. My Guinea pig had hay poke and an infected eye. She was seen to within the day and given medication for it. Cleared up in a week. I would recommend this pets to anyone with exotic pets, this isn’t our first time visiting and they are helpful every time. The staff team are great and the vets are very gentle with our beloved pets.

I took my two cats here for many years and was always so impressed by how well they (and I!) were looked after. When my cats were at their worst, I felt really anxious about making sure I was making the right choices for them, and Kate and her team were amazing at going over my options and helping me come to the best decisions for them. The team were always willing to take them in at short notice when needed and return calls when I had questions. My cats have sadly passed now, but Trafford Vets did everything they could to make that journey as kind as possible for both them and me. I highly recommend this vet practice.

Couldn't be more caring, thanks to the vets Kate , Ruth , Pip and Mike who looked after our Mainecoon "Tattiana " and the nurses . Overall very professional and all though it wasn't the outcome we had hoped for I cannot fault the effort Trafford Veterinary Centre put in. Thanks to all involved. RIP " Tatty ".

I've been taking my pet here for 12 years. She's always well looked after Kate goes above and beyond each and every time. I wouldn't consider taking her anywhere else. We recently moved 25 miles away and I still travel to see the vets here.

Kate and the team at Trafford Vets are absolutely amazing. Having unfortunately now moved too far away to continue to bring my cats to them I can really see that what they do, the compassion they have for our pets and the empathy for us as owners, is all too rare

The best veterinary practice around. If you want a vet that puts your fur babies first, then this is the place to go. The reception and pharmacy staff do an amazing job, always going above and beyond to help. They too are all caring animal loving people. So expect your pet to be stroked and fussed over. I lost my boy Diego last year to Heart failure and all the way through his illness, I was given support and most of all understanding.Thanks to Guilia (vet) I was able to have several months more with Diego. Megan (Reception) is amazing, when I lost my Diego, she totally understood my heartbreak and walked with me every step of the way. The empathy and understanding she shown, will never be forgotten, she’s a real Gem. I still attend here with my other dog and I know he is in safe hands, I highly recommend it to everyone I meet. I’ve finally found a place where…The animal comes first before money! The only issue I have is the parking. It can sometimes get a little overcrowded, but since they installed the number plate booking in service, it seems to have improved slightly. This is no reflection of the actual service you receive.

I can't recommend Animal Trust Failsworth enough! It felt perfect from the start. The receptionist was very friendly and totally calmed me down. Tasha, the nurse who saw Penny, was amazing, so caring and professional; you could tell she loved animals. She made sure Penny was comfortable and well cared for. What I love is that it's a non-profit that truly prioritises the animals first. The care is awesome, the prices are fair, and the staff go above and beyond. They're honest and upfront, making sure the pets get exactly what they need without pushing extra stuff. The service from everyone was top-notch. I'm thrilled with how Penny was treated, and we'll totally be back. If you want a vets that genuinely cares, this is the place!

Swapped to this vets with my dog over 5 years ago and so glad we did. Being an elderly dog we've had a few health concerns over the years. The staff have always been great, getting her in quickly when needed and being patient with her. They were always upfront and honest and didn't make her go through any unnecessary treatment. Unfortunately we had say goodbye to her recently, again the vet who we saw and the staff were fantastic. Even though it was booked as a routine appointment they didn't rush us and gave us all the time we needed to make a decision and say goodbye.

Absolute lifesavers! We rushed our little Milo to the clinic, worried he had a break or fracture. The team was so kind and told us to come straight in. Thankfully, it turned out to be just a bad sprain, and they had him patched up and comfortable in no time. The care and attention they gave Milo was incredible, and to top it off, it was affordable! We couldn’t be more grateful for their quick and gentle service. Highly recommended! 10/10 thank you so much everyone that helped :))

Everyone from reception staff to veterinary staff were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Treated my cat like he was one of their own. Very impressed and pleased with the service received. Signed up to the complete healthcare plan so no need to pay for vaccinations today as covered by the plan

My 11 year old JR Finn has received excellent care. 4 stars is only because we tend to see a different vet every time. I'm quite keen on continuity of care.

Absolutely amazing service. When I called to explain how poorly our little Harry was the young lady fitted me in in-between appointments. Martin the Vet was superb, he explained in great detail what the situation was and was very real, his advice and treatment SAVED OUR HARRY’S LIFE, we will be forever grateful for your time, advice, treatment and understanding, you helped us make the right decision, i can’t thank you enough. Within an hour Harry was fighting fit, 24 hours later he is back to his normal self. Bonny even took time out the next day to call and make sure everything was ok, excellent service all round from start to finish. We have been with Mount Rd Vets for years and would highly recommend. Thanks again, just brilliant xxx

Called into the vets with my dog very worried I was welcomed with a smile. Didnt wait long and was brought through by the vet who straight away made me feel at ease and loose my fear. She handled my baby with care and treated her and fingers crossed it’s like a miracle has happened. Thank you so much highly recommend fantastic vets.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! As somebody who is a new cat owner, I had an emergency with my Cat! He wasn’t under any vets and this was the first vets I called!!! The lady who answered was so kind and patient with my tears and very understanding and considerate! The night receptionist (30/09/2024) at 11pm was absolutely lovely!!! She assured me when other animals would be in the practice so I could keep my cat, Mike, settled! And when he got unsettled due to his pain and a stress she went and got the Vet! Lloyd was so gentle and kind with Mike, he assured me of his condition and helped keep costs low for his treatment which I appreciated as I am University Student! I was very concerned about Mike so when I called the receptionist was so kind on the phone and lovely! I spoke to Lloyd and he assured me of Mikes condition and gave me reassurance! I got a call at 8am to say he was ready to collect as he had improved massively!! When I went to collect him at 9:40am (1/10/24) the two receptionists were absolutely AMAZING! They were so lovely and exceptional, I cannot express my gratitude for the staff enough! The vet then handed me Mike and informed me of his medication!! I took him to the car as he was a bit unsettled whilst my boyfriend paid, the treatment was very well priced and I am happy with how he has come home, the payment process was simple and efficient! He is back to his usual self and so much better!!! And I am also adding that he had two bits of Matt on his tail that I had tried to cut multiple times but I was frightened of hurting him, well they did that for me!! I am now proud to say this is my registered vets! Thank you so much to the lovely receptionists who reassured my anxiety and the lovely Veterinarians and Nurses who looked after my Mike!

Brought my cat in after a dog attack. The staff were so lovely and looked after Preston throughout the night. Sadly, he didn't make it. Went to pick him up the next day and again, they were lovely. Then even written us a heart felt card complete with fur and pawprints. Excellent, professional service

Rating: 5 / 5

Highly Recommended..... First class veterinary service and available 24hrs a day, every day should you need them. The practice itself is immaculate and spacious and staff very helpful. The vets themselves explain exactly whats happening with your pet and they really are very cost effective which for a private vet nowadays, is not often said. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Had to post a review after our 19 year old Jack Russell Chip came to end of life today. Our regular vet was closed due to it being a Sunday. The young lady on the phone was lovely and managed to fit us in as I wasn’t happy with the emergency vets our regular vets use. The young lady was just as lovely when we came in as was the vet and all the staff. They even wavered the consultation fee as it wasn’t our regular vet. Very compassionate staff. Top marks. X

Genuinely lovely people. Have done an amazing job with my very poorly puppy, despite her biting everyone in the world! She's doing amazingly now. She thinks she's a total celebrity when we go to the vet.

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazing practice, professional vets who genuinely care for your pet, explain everything in a way non-vet people understand and all the staff are kind and friendly and help to make what can be a traumatic experience for both pet and owner a lot calmer! There's also a little car park, which is so helpful being on a busy main road, and a separate dog and cat waiting area, fantastic for nervous scaredy cats who don't enjoy vets or dogs. I would definitely recommend this practice as staff who care for the pet and the parent!

We brought our moggy Kimi in on Monday, for what we knew was to be a final visit. She was 20.5 years old and had been on a downward path in the recent years / months. The last few weeks were looking bleaker and over the weekend she deteriorated very quickly until she didn’t want to do anything and seemed to be in pain. On arrival we were looked after by Pola and Katie who realised the situation very quickly and were so kind and considerate to us. They said they would organise a canular to be inserted so they could administer the required injection, but Kimi passed away before they could. I guess the upheaval of the ‘trip to the vets’ (which she always hated, in her youth) and everything was just to much and she couldn’t hang on any longer. We were given some ‘clippings’ of Kimi’s fur etc in a little glass vile, to keep as a remembrance and we said we wanted to take her home to be buried in our garden, along with her mum and son. My wife went to the desk to pay for the visit, but was told there would be no charge. Although this is not a ‘money thing’ we found this to be over and above what we might expect and a lovely gesture. We left with Kimi wrapped in a towel and were finally given a condolence card, signed ‘all our love, Yew Tree Vets’, which again was such a nice thing for you to have done. We have used your surgery for all 3 of our cats over a number of years and have always been very happy with the service we have received, but yesterday’s visit left us feeling so heart warmed that you all can care so much for pets and owners alike. Thanks for all your efforts over the years.

I am so pleased with every part of service and care from Yew Tree Vets. Having only ever been in and out for immunisations in the past, i have just endured frequent visits over the past 9 weeks receiving treatment for an ocular tear with my dog Louie. Me and louie received excellent care and advice. They were also lenient and supportive when i was worried about deterioration finding me a same day appointment and were very empathetic. I would absolutely recommend this vets to anyone! See pictures for Louies healthy recovery ❤️‍🩹

Staff were lovely, vet was kind and helpful, price was reasonable; can't ask for more. Best of all my poor cat who had fleas is on the mend, only a few days after taking the pill and cleansing the flat. Can't be happier!

PetMedics have been amazing ever since our cat had been referred for her skin issues and allergies. The staff are so lovely and really do care. Pixie is now on allergy medication but is still under review for steroids but her skin and her quality of life has improved so much already and we have her lovely vet Silvana to thank for this.🩷 You are amazing thanks for all your hard work x

my cat passed away and was brought to pet medics by a member of the public, when i arrived to see if it was my cat all the staff were lovely, kind, and considerate. they took the time to make sure it was my cat, and talked me through different options i had with what i wanted to do next with him, at no point did i feel unsure about what i had to do, and every member of staff was really kind to him and looked after him as if he was one of their own cats. they gave me as much time as i needed with him in their farewell room and didn’t pressure me to leave and let me have as much time as possible. A few days later they sent me a condolence card with my cats paw prints inside which i appreciate so much. also saw members of staff interacting with other customers and answering any questions they had regarding their own pets, the place had a nice atmosphere and didn’t feel like some other vets do. thank you again to all the staff at pet medics.

My sausage dog has been here twice, once with a sprained paw & sadly being run over on Christmas Day night. When we arrived on Christmas Day night, we ran in with our dog & the vet seen him straight away. Couldn’t of asked for a nicer vet & the reception staff. The reception staff were amazing and made us feel so much better. One reception lady even got the first aid kit to help my brother with his cut hands after the accident. Thanks to Pet Medics my dog was fine and sent him home with medication which he is now better. Thank you for amazing service from the vet & lovely reception lady’s on Christmas Day Night 💕 it was the last thing we expected but they made us feel so much better. 🙏✨

My spaniel had to be admitted for a couple of days as he had just been diagnosed with diabetes and was very poorly. All the staff were very professional and I was kept upto date with the situation very well. At discharge, the nurse spent time talking us through everything and teaching us how to administer injections. I cannot thank all the staff enough for the care they gave to Woody. He is now in a much better place than when he was admitted. Here he is with his sister keeping an eye on his progress 🐾🐾
