Badgers Oak Veterinary Clinic

They are a team of professionals that all care about animals far more than money and that's special. When I had to have my last Labrador put to sleep, Lauren was so compassionate and almost cried with me.

He was very gracious about seeing her at an awkward time and took good care of our old girl (she pulled through). They've been our vet ever since.

Mote Park Veterinary Surgery
So: we were referred here because there was no vet in attendance at our usual place. The…read morereceptionists were efficient and helpful over the phone. I drove to the surgery and our puppy, who had decided to eat half a pack of Hotel Chocolat pebble things, was seen as soon as I arrived at the surgery.- no waiting around! A quick call about an hour later and the deed had been done: chocolate regurgitated and puppy ready for collection. The only problem was that the vet told me he'd be a bit subdued and fragile for the evening: wrong, you'd never have known what had happened! Thanks.
After being with this vets for decades and after spending considerable amounts of money with them,…read moreI found myself expelled from their practice without any discussion due to being a little irritable with one of their nurses over the phone when I was informed that they charge £15 to complete an insurance form! They treated me like a criminal when I rang to ask why this had happened and refused to discuss amything or to refund me health plan money I had paid but received nothing for. On moving to another, much nicer vets I discovered that Mote Park Vets have a policy that bans owners from seeing their pets' notes/medical history. I further discovered that this is very likely to be due to the personal comments made about owners on pets notes by their nurses/receptionists which have no bearing on their pets' health. They also had to be chased on numerous occasions to send the notes to my new vets. I was obviously given full copies by my new vets who thankfully have no such ridiculous high handed policy. They used to be a wonderful and caring vets, but not any more. They all seem under pressure and all are afraid of the owner - even the vets who appears to have turned into a dictator. This has been a shocking and distressing experience and after such horrible, unfair and unexpected treatment I am glad I am no longer with them.

Refused to do examination in front of me. Wouldn't leave me with him to say goodbye as she new I would take him to another vet practice for a 2nd opinion. She would only allow an in-house 2nd opinion. She is only one year out of uni and had only been working at Goudhurst vet for 1 month. I begged her not to take his life and said I wouldn't sign the paper but she said I couldn't spend time with him until I signed the paper. She is evil. She took his life as soon as my son ran out the room distraught. I was in tears. It's pure evil to force customers to sign over pets for murder. No due diligence as she was unable to diagnose his eye condition. Caroline Borer left a sharp bone in my dogs mouth under his tongue after dental surgery and wanted to leave it there to come out on it's own? Sadistic, over priced, vet practice

They have declined dramatically in their patient care over the last 3 years I have taken my pets to…read morethem. And if you have an exotic animal I would avoid this vets. In December I was quoted £600 for an operation In two places on the guinea pig. I agreed to go ahead with the operation until the vet ( who since left the practice) called me to say we could half the operation as the biopsy was inconclusive. Four months later I went again as the most concerning lump had grown a little bigger and was causing her discomfort, only to be quoted close to £1000 for exactly the same operation. A price difference well beyond normal inflation. They conceded to charge the lower price for the operation without apology and the aftercare was not good. Although I did my best to clean the most major wound every day and to make sure her living place was as hygienic as possible, I was made to feel like I was the problem that she was chewing her scabs and causing herself ongoing bleeding. The vet who operated Jon her was absent much of the time so I saw a fear mongering locum which resulted in two emergency visits as the wound got worse to different gets because of the absence of the vet who operated on her. One time I drove to London because I was told no vet was at trinity and the more local vet would charge me as a new client. The one in London wouldn't. When the vet in London charged a new customer price and realised I'd been referred they suggested I ask for a compensation from Trinity. However the staff who had had that conversation over price had not told the truth about what they had said to me and the conversation conveys in the email was entirely different. They said the would contact the vet in London to say I was coming but I arrived there and was nearly turned away at the door as that vet knew nothing about me coming fortunately they had space to see me. This catalogue of failures by Trinity vets shows a marked decline in Thier service. They used to be excellent. And the dishonesty of the staff upset me the most. They used to have at least three exotic vets and now appear to only have one. Mark is good and your pet is in the best hands with him, but he is only one man and cannot see to urgent problem since they used to have about 3 exotic vets there but now only have one. When my pet finally saw Mark again. The wound which other gets around Kent had labelled a serious concern, turned out to not be a problem and there was a very simply solution to aid the healing. But as you can imagine. One exotic vet in the practice is not ideal. Furthermore they don't respond to emails in a timely manner so if you have worries about your animal they won't put your fears to rest. The way the gaslight the concerns of thier clients is abysmal. Vets avoided. I'm now looking for a new exotic vets in case of needing them for one of my other two pets....

We were at our wits end and so upset that we couldn't seem to control or manage our beloved puppy. Walks were dreadful as Clive would go into meltdown mode and couldnt hear us and wouldn't listen to instruction or recall at all. He was aggressive towards a neighbour and we knew something drastic had to be done. Leaving Clive with Stephen for a month seemed drastic but necessary... on meeting Stephen we started to feel hope in a situation where we feared the worst. Stephen has a wonderful manner and relationship with dogs, they get him and he gets them. He really is the dog whisperer! After an initial assessment we left Clive with Stephen and returned home to our other dog Bonnie for a month without our crazy puppy. Stephen gave updates every week reporting on how Clive was becoming better with other dogs, we felt hopeful and happy for the first time in a really long time. After a month was up we arrived to collect Clive, nervous but excited about what was to come. Stephen asked us to stand in a field, he bought Clive in and we couldn't believe how obedient and well trained he was with Stephen. We called Clive over and he galloped over so happy and thrilled. Stephen taught us to use a long rope, prey dumby amd whistle with Clive, using treats so Clive would respond to commands and listen to us. We can now take Clive on long walks where he heels beautifully and the meltdowns have slowly disappeared. He's playful and vocal with other dogs but the aggression has gone and in its place an obedient lovely natured dog that we adore taking out and spending time with. It was last chance saloon before Stephen and we can't thank him enough for his love and patience with Clive. Don't hesitate to trust your beloved dog with Stephen, it really has changed Clive so much and the man is a miracle! Thanks Stephen and we will see you soon dog puppy follow up classes! Many thanks!!! Lucy, Jason, Bonnie & Clive ( and family)

I was very concerned about her being away from us for so long but we were at the end of our tether so went along to meet him. He automatically seemed to understand her and put our minds at rest about her stay. Again no frills!! We got a weekly update on her which were honest and reassuring. When we picked her up she was so happy to see us but noticeabley calmer. He showed us what we had to do and sent us on our way. She really is so much more responsive to us and her recall is vastly improved. Walking has become a pleasure again!

My dog came away with a very wonky and uneven hair cut on his chest and bottom aswell as his paws were not shaved. My main concern is how the owner of the shop responded to my complaint. Very rude and unwilling to accept an opinion that differs from her own. She claims that they do not offer thinning hair out on the neck even though the website very clearly states they offer a full body cut to your requirements. I was offered a full refund for the groom when I spoke to her on the phone however she later emailed to say she will only return 50% of the money.
