I've used Alan Sim for about 10 years. On the odd occasion I've had to use others in Dorset ( read Medivet & vets for pets) I have been the victim of vet theft. Larceny. I've never ever been to the vets expecting to make new friends, unlike other reviews here. All local corporate vets have charges that make the BMW garage owner blush. I appreciate a direct and straightforward style. I need to be told my dog is overweight and if I don't clean her teeth I'll be paying for cleaning and extractions. I'm not being charged for or expecting sympathy, tea and biscuits. I appreciate that the vets priority is his patient not the owners feelings. If I've any gripe at all it's that they do not issue prescriptions. A service id pay for. But then I can go elsewhere for this service. I'm at a loss to understand why reviewers prefer the ' are you insured ? ' approach practiced elsewhere.

Alan saved our Chihuahua, she gave both to two breach puppies at home, as they to large to be born naturally. Alan gave her a c section and saved a puppy and found another puppy which had died. We are very grateful for his support throughout and his ability to save Mummy dog and a puppy. Both doing amazingly well.

I just feel after all the negative reviews I need to leave a positive one for this vets, I had to put my cat down of 18 years yesterday my only ever pet, my bestfriend, I'm distraught, the lady was kind, compassionate from start to finish and I felt safe my boy being in her hands, they're now keeping him safe until his cremation. Thank you to the lovely lady.

Alan is just a wonderful vet. My mooch is very happy with him and we wouldn't use anyone else and trust him whole heartedly
