Not only did the staff all treat him so kindly, being a nervous dog with separation anxiety, but they provided advice and support for me with Barts teeth, without judgement, which I had experienced at another Vet from a larger Franchise. The pricing was transparent and clear from the outset, which eliminated any embarrassment that I had previously encountered at other vets. Bart is like a new dog since having his dental work. He healed beautifully and it has knocked years off him. He's back to being a cheeky and obnoxious boy, albeit on a more healthy diet to avoid more toothy issues. The full price for over thirty extractions including all necessary blood work and after care with medication came to a third less than one of the other well known vets and definitely did not break our bank. I am so relieved to have found a decent, honest vets practice for his senior years, safe in the knowledge that when the inevitable time comes for our dog to leave us, he will be in the best possible hands and treated with compassion. For now, we are enjoying our happy dog that is free from pain. Many thanks to all of the team at Fernleigh.

There's also a vet who has specialist expertise in exotic animals, for anyone out there who owns snakes, lizards and the like. Most of the vets there seem to be quite young, and pretty friendly - although I've never seen the same vet twice! The service I've received has always been good and I've gone away feeling happy that I've received good advice - although my pockets are always a lot lighter, too. On top of the usual services most vets offer, such as vaccinations and consultations about specific health issues, Highcroft also has a free 24-hour advice line manned by a trained veterinary nurse, which is reassuring if you're worried about your pet outside of the usual office hours. I discovered one night that my hound had got her teeth into some chocolate, which can be poisonous in large quantities, so I rang up and the lady who I spoke to was great. They can help you decide whether to wait until the morning to see a vet, or opt for emergency (expensive!) treatment. Next to the reception area you can pick up pet care leaflets and browse the small shop area, which sells specialist pet foods and other pet care products such as dog shampoos, cat collars, leads, and so on - as well as those grim pigs' ears that my dog always heads straight for. Overall I would recommend this vet. Despite being more expensive than many others for consultations and some treatments, I do think the service is good and I do trust them to dish out good advice.

In terms of fees, you can expect to pay standard veterinary rates. Food, however, is cheaper and more varied in the pet shop across the road.

I could see it coming but it was pretty painful when the vet confirmed my fears. It's a terrible time for a pet lover but I felt like they handled the situation well and understood and anticipated how upset I would be. They also let me leave as gracefully as possible and suggested the bill was settled later when I was in a better frame of mind. I'm not by any means suggesting only go there when your pet is on their last legs. I've found that their routine health care is good and affordable and they don't force treatments or medication that is unnecessary.
