The vets, nurses and receptionists at Priory Lodge were absolutely amazing with our hamster Belle and went above and beyond allowing us to come in every day for her antibiotics and pain relief to make her as comfortable as possible. We will always be grateful for their care and support.

I’ve been registered with priory lodge for over 8 years since my dog was a puppy. The vets are always very patient and helpful! She’s not the kindest dog once in the consulting room! Reasonably priced and the reception team are always very helpful and friendly!

Daisy ( mini Yorkshire Terrier)had a nasty bout of Gastroenteritis and was sorted out with efficiency and care by a lovely vet and is now on the mend! We also had a follow up text the next day to ask how she was doing..a nice touch!!

So, so lucky to have this place as my local vets. I am a bit of a regular fixture in there while I build my pup's confidence and the staff are phenomenal: super understanding, patient and all real deal animal lovers. Ruth Wadsworth with her understanding in dog behaviour is a real asset and my boy is head over heels for Liv the nursing assistant. They all rock and we're both super grateful for them.

I have 4 beautiful dogs with different breeds, and I look everywhere to where I should register my pets? After doing all my research and speaking to a few friends, I decided to register them with this vet! As I believe they are the best and which they are! Having said that, it's been 3 years since my babies are coming here. Everything was fantastic and I am very happy and appreciated all the staff members. Who are very helpful! When I have to call for an emergency, they are taking appointments promptly and always asking to inform them a couple of days later for any treatment they had with recommendation and suggestion. My maltese had a baby a few months back, and I am very pleased with how they're looking after my girl and the pup, as they understand how worried I am! Even though they have seen so many animals coming through the door, they do remember all of my babies' visits with passionated and concern. I thank all the veterinary and the staff members for all the work and treatment that they have done to my babies ( at a very reasonable price) Keep up the good work!

All the staff are so friendly and helpful. They have just had our German Shepherd Skye in to be spayed and couldn’t ask any more of them with the way she was cared for. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. We use the Crowborough surgery but have in the past used the Tunbridge Wells emergency surgery with our other dog 4 years ago and received the same dedicated care. I highly recommend Culverden Vets without hesitation and our GS loves going there ( could be the treats she gets 🤣 )

Had to make the difficult decision to have my dog put to sleep, I return to this practice in Crowborough after having left, best choice I made for my beloved Bella. Staff were amazing from reception to vet (phil) Especially helpful with my disabled husband gaining access to be there 👏

We’ve had such kind, professional care for our poorly cat, over several weeks of his investigations, surgery and subsequent complications. All of the vets, nurses and reception staff that we’ve dealt with have been very compassionate. While the reality is that veterinary care is not cheap anywhere, we feel lucky to have such a great independent vet’s practice to look after our much loved pets. All our cats, guinea pigs and hamsters have been patients here for over 30 years and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Have brought one of my cats, Claude, to Culverden Vets a couple of times now on the recommendation of a friend and am very happy with the care and service provided by the whole team there. All staff were friendly and understanding and gave a genuine impression that they cared about the welfare of Claude. Would definitely recommend.

Had to take my granddog to the vets. I called and got a same day appointment. The vet was really lovely and looked after Ru. The staff were really friendly too.

Super helpful, friendly and professional staff and vet. The Kingsnorth premises are bright, comfortable and very well laid out, a lovely area for cats tucked nicely away from the main area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Missed my appointment by a couple of minutes. Ended up waiting an extra 30 minutes. I do understand that when it's your pet you don't want to be rushed but make the appointment slot longer. When you get to see the vet it is a good experience.

Always very helpful. They looked after our cat very carefully as he recovered from a leg amputation.

Was with Dacre House many years ago, then moved out of area BUT moved back 4 years later. Re-enrolled with Dacre House, updated my pets and wouldn’t go to any other vets. Israel was so caring with my young cat and (hopefully) treated her promptly. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A truly lovely vet practice. Always helpful and accommodating when you need assistance or advice. Appointment times are well kept and the pricing structure is clear. I feel that my pets have been ,over the years, and are still being well looked after and cared for in their best interests.

Five stars simply isn’t enough. My two dogs have been in their care for many years and I can genuinely say I trust them whole heartedly with my pets to give them the highest level of care. Their expertise, care and compassion is evident. I highly recommend this experienced team.

Fantastic urgent care of our cat who needed a high-risk bowel operation after becoming very unwell the day before. The vet responded so quickly by completing lots of diagnostic tests and identifying her condition. The operation was performed at lunchtime after she was admitted at 11.00 am. Lifesavers! 🙏❤️ Must admit she didn't keep the body suit on for long, bless her

This is a great, friendly practice. It’s reasonably easy to get an appointment, there’s always been parking available and you don’t have to wait around for ages. I first visited with a friend and immediately changed from my previous practice, as the vibe was so good. Even my dog likes it!

Our experience at Eureka Vets has been a great one. Kind, compassionate staff, and very caring and thorough vets. Our dogs have now passed, but even during this difficult time, Eureka vets were exceptional. For everything you did for Dexter and Buddy, thank you very much.

Well, THIS is how a vet should be! Goodness, what a relief to know that one in the area, at least, isn't interested in what they can get out of the customer. I left another in Ashford after suspecting I was being encouraged to have treatment that wasn't necessary. It seems my suspicions were correct. So it was important that I was able to gain trust in a new vet, and one who could show professionalism and compassion for my elderly pup. And there we met Hannah, an amazing addition to their team. You could not ask for a kinder, friendlier, more professional person to look after your bundles of fluff. My little girl can be anxious to say the least. She has taken to Hannah, to the point that when she's well enough, she goes bounding in to her appointment for cuddles. I can't stress enough that that expression of care and love for your animal is a huge factor. What a frantic owner needs at the point of stress and upset is somebody who clearly loves the animals they are working with. Somebody who is able to show that affection and kindness and willingness to bond with your pet. That is gold. Even if the answers are hard to come by, or even if they cannot provide all the answers immediately, you feel completely assured that they care, and caring is central. The whole team there have been fantastic - putting up with numerous enquiries and checks and worries from me. And sadly we've been a regular visitor of late! And we can't thank Hannah enough. She no doubt saved my bundle recently. What an incredible thing that we moved over to Margetts just after she joined the team. And what an incredible vet she is. This is a plea - don't change. As clients we are very rapidly seeing what vets owned by big companies look like, and we are losing those qualities that the team at Margetts show. And I think we are slowly seeing this backfiring, as more people move from those types of vets to independent ones. Thank you, Margetts. The pup and myself are hugely grateful you are there (even when one of us protests about thermometers ending up in places we'd rather they didn't). ;)

Probably the best independent vet in the Ashford area. They look after your pet like it's their own with no conglomerate overpriced fees. Highly recommend

After having seen several negative reviews I feel the need to add my view. Both my previous dog and my current one have had the utmost care from all of the staff at this practice. They have worked with me to find the best treatment at the time and they have actually saved me money on various occasions. All of the staff are caring and compassionate and will do everything they can to make sure my dog was/is given the best treatment possible . I can only say what my experiences have been but I am completely satisfied they have given 110% regarding the welfare of my animals.

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazing vets. I moved from another vets to these, and am so glad. Very caring staff. Vets who put the animals needs before money. Never had an issue getting an appointment, and usually got a same or next day appointment when I've had concerns.

Thank you to all at Barrow Hill Veterinary Practice, especially Konrad Ruszkowski whose professionalism was reassuring at a time when we needed to cope with some bad news regarding our dog Ruby. I can not thank them enough for their genuine kindness and all the cuddles they gave to Ruby while she was in hospital.
