I got my two cats from here about 2 years ago. I found staff to be very friendly, professional and…read morethe many cats they have rescued to be well looked after. There are many cats and kittens to choose from making it difficult to choose. Be careful, you may go in to get only one cat (like we did) but somehow come out with two! There is a long hallway with glass hatches on each side. Each hatch contains two cats. When you have found a cat you may be interested in, a staff member can open the hatch so you can get to know the cat more. Once you have chosen which cat (or cats) you would like, staff will arrange a visit to your house to ensure your home is cat friendly. Once all is approved, you can take your new cat home. You get six weeks pet insurance and possibly follow up checks in which you need to bring your cat back to the centre. I believe I only had to do this as the cats I had taken had only been at the centre a couple of weeks and not all the necessary checks had been completed. I did have some problems with both my cats in that it was found that one cat had a flea allergy and the other had caught ring worm. We had various treatments from the inhouse vetinarian at the centre which went on longer than the free six weeks insurance. However, because it was ongoing problem, I wasn't charged for the visits beyond six weeks (it lasted a little over two months in total). Both cats are now absolultely perfect and I've had no problems since. You do need to be aware that as they are rescue cats, the previous habitat wasn't adequate. Therefore, there is more chance for there to be something wrong when you first get them. But with a good diet, love and attention and the perhaps some necessary initial medication, your cat can be no different to buying a cat/kitten from a pet store.

I found all the staff friendly and competent. They're always helpful and keen to see my dog. I…read morethink mainly that has to do with the fact that I'm uninsured and pay through the nose for treatment. As with all vets the drug prices are extortionate. At least double the price of what can be had by buying from an online pharmacy. But they have you by the short and curlies. You must have a prescription, to get a prescription you must see a vet and pay for their consultation. Once you have had the consultation you must then pay for the prescription. The prescription only covers one drug, so if like me you need two you must pay for two prescriptions. I still save nearly £1,000 per year by doing it this way, so you can see just how extortionate vet drug prices are in order to still save that amount of money.

I can't say enough good things about the vet who operates this business: Geoffrey Smith, MRCVS -but…read morelet me try! His business is small and run out of a house (that I assume is also his home). He is the only vet there and so you get his full and personal attention (he did take a brief vacation last year when he had a young lady take his place - and she was wonderful too!). Indeed you could imagine a British TV show about this man and his business. Oh wait a minute - that was done already back in the day (1978-1990): "All Creatures Great and Small" The surgery itself comprises a waiting area and his office/surgery. We LOVE the personal service that he gives, so does our beloved little guy "Ricky Martin" our 6 year old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix born (and dumped roadside) in Houston, TX - thank goodness we found each other!! The occurrence that comes to mind is about 6 months ago when little Ricky (on an extended leash while walking with me) was attacked with no warning by a ferocious German Shepherd (Alsatian) which the owner was allowing to run free (forbidden in the UK) - yes I later found the address of the thoughtless owner, reported him to the police and now he has to keep the dangerous dog on a leash with a muzzle or he will go to prison. However, Ricky was bleeding and we got him immediately to the Doc who calmed him, shaved the area of the bite, studied and informed us that had the bite been 1/4 inch deeper or 1/4 inch to the left the carotid artery would have been severed and he would have bled out on the spot. He explained everything to us, advised why he was NOT going to use stitches, gave us painkillers for the little guy and antibiotics. Follow up a week later and all has been well since he pretty much fully recovered a month or so later. Poor little Ricky will not walk with me through those areas where he was attacked - his memory remains, as does ours of this wonderful, caring vet Two big thumbs up and one little paw up!

I like also how the staff are knowledgeable and ask about your tank and current fish to check they're well suited too unlike other pet stores that sell fish regardless just for a profit.

I cannot praise Ashfield House vets highly enough!…read more I use them both for as a volunteer for a local animal welfare charity but also for my own pets. The staff are exceptional and all vocationally driven. From the reception staff to the nurses to the vets - animal welfare is clearly a driving force for them. This is not to say for your own animals care it isn't pricey (which vets isn't!) but I believe their costing to be fair and the quality of care is beyond doubt. As vet care is expensive one thing you can rest assured is they are a practice which fully explain the costs to you in advance and will not undertake unneccesary work for their own financial gain. For those with their animals insured they have members of staff specialised with helping you in your claim. The main site at Long Eaton has hospital status and they are able to carry our surgical work from the routine to highly specialist. Having brought them many trauma and abuse cases through my volunteer work I have been amazed by their expertise on several occassions which gives me greater confidence that should any of my own animals ever be in such a situation, they would be afforded the best possible treatment. Many of their vets sepcialise and if you speak to their knowledgable reception staff they will be able to recommend a vet should your pet need a specific area of care. Their specialist fields included oncology, orthopaedics, dermatology, optholomogy and much more. A visiting pet behavourial specialist also holds a clinic here. They run a number of clinics and clubs including the weight club and the puppy club which are well worth attending. They have a second branch in Spondon and a specialist feline clinic at Bramcote. Most importantly this vets will do all in their power to make you and your pet comfortable. This is especially important at times of stress after an accident or on losing a pet. There is a small car park for clients to the rear of the surgery.
