A truly wonderful, caring vet. I have 2 dogs, Albie and Hardy and, as an overly anxious dog owner, they deal with me as well as they do my dogs. If you are looking for a vet I would highly recommend Birchwood.

Have been a client for a number of years ,always had wonderful service .Last week had to take my 17 year old Jack Russel Border Collie cross to be put to sleep. The two vets who attended could not have been more caring the surroundings in a purpose furnished room were very comforting .it was hugely distressing and i was in bits .Stan slipped away ,Heartfelt thanks to these lovely people.

Amazing vets practice - professional, friendly and they dont over charge! They are a small, family run business. We discovered them late on and wished we had become customers years ago!

We were heartbroken to have to put our 14year old dog to sleep. The vet came to us and was so caring and patient with us and gentle to our dog. The vet reassured me that it was the best thing to do. They sent us the most lovely card a day after. Never had such caring service at a vets. Thank you.

Great veterinary practice. They sorted out our dog problem (which came out as an allergy after blood test) really quickly where other vets were constantly taking out samples which was painful for the dog and nothing came out of it. Now we know how to deal with it without any medication. Our cat also visits them and there was bo problem so far.
