Helped us with our dogs final hours and took a booking at the 11th hour. Incredibly helpful and Tony on reception is the guy everyone should be. Very thankful we were referred to them. Thank you so much in helping us say goodbye in a decent and professional manner.

Without Syd my dog would not have survived past the age of 2. He needed a number of investigations before it was determined what was wrong with him. He needed to be referred for emergency surgery and Syd was with us every step of the way. He is now 8 and Syd, Eddie, James, Vicki, Claire, Julie, Siobhan, Natalie and all the team have minded him as if he was their own. We now have another dog and would not go anywhere else.

I would highly recommend this practice for their care and professional skills when I got my dog as a puppy she was very I’ll and had been attending another vet who was constantly prescribing antibiotics but to no avail I was referred to Cara vets and they were so helpful and thorough with her she’s has fully recovered thanks to all the staff especially Syd and I am forever grateful for the care and attention they have shown to Cara .They have also restored my faith in human kindness ❤️
