A huge THANK YOU to Manor Vets who have been absolutely fantastic. We first had to rush our cat…read moreIfrit to their 24 hour service a few months ago and were so kind and understanding when I explained my situation (not only a poor student but a poor disabled student relying on public transport) and let me work out first bus I could get to get Ifrit seen ASAP. Recently had to return to Manor Vets Edgbaston as it appears Ifrit has cystitis again and they're currently processing his urine samples today - a rush to make sure no underlying problems! By phone they are incredibly kind and patient, very understanding, and gave me numbers for the Cats Protection and Friends of the Animals for badly needed help with the cost of vets consultation and neutering fee for which I am incredibly grateful for. Some vets can be quite snobby and look down on lower-income people, but this recently refurbished state of the art veterinary practice is far from snobby. Treats were provided for the furry patients which helped Ifrit relax in the waiting room, and everyone there was definitely a pet person, creating a calming, warm, welcoming atmosphere. They've also given brilliant advice on foods that help his condition and it is little touches like that make me so grateful we chose Manor Vets.

As the owner of a very pampered and rather accident prone greyhound I am only too aware of the need…read morefor a decent vet's. After trying a few others in the area (who shall remain nameless - they weren't bad exactly but they seemed a little too keen to recommend invasive and EXPENSIVE treatment - not good really) we settled on the Orchard Veterinary Centre because they're close and offer their own insurance scheme - which dramatically reduces bills (especially useful when you are the owner of a dog who likes to hurl himself about the garden breaking claws etc) and I have to say they are really, really good. Not only do the vet's seem to genuinely care about the animals they are treating but the ladies on reception are always really helpful and happy to dispense treats and cuddles (to the animals you understand, not the owners). Dave - our greyhound - likes the place so much that some mornings when we walk past he tries to drag us up the lane which is a pretty good indication. They also offer imminently sensible advice and don't immediately prescribe (expensive) drugs. They also sell a small range of pet items - toothpaste, bedding, treats and the odd squeaky toy.

The nurses that work within this animal hospital can provide help and are very professional with any type of pet, be whatever species. They know how to handle pets of all backgrounds and are very gentle with caring for your pets too. They also provide prescriptions, vitamins and crucial pet care treatments for pets as well, and although the treatments are quite expensive, they are well worth the money!

Very proffesional yet compasionate service and very reasonably priced. Interest free credit is also available. Lockwood Animal Hospital is part of a larger Veterinary Group owned by a practicing Vet making sure that Animals welfare is of paramount importance.

I hope I don't become one of those old cat ladies. I've never asked a magic 8-ball whether this is…read morewhat the future has in store for me but I'd imagine the answer it would give to be 'signs point to yes'. My cat is very dear to me and no, I don't have munchausen by proxy, but I do get a bit worried there is something wrong with her when usually everything is a-ok. This is the vet my family and I have always used since we moved to Birmingham. They really do care about your pet when you bring them in and as it is a very stressful experience for your feline friend they try their best to calm them down once on the vets table. They're always very helpful and instead of giving you a list of about 100 costly things your pet needs they tell you what is essential and what you could do without. Turns out even the essential things can cost a bomb though. My favourite thing about this place is that when your turn is up they call your pet's name. 'Is there a Fluffy Smith waiting?' for example.

I have to say my husband and I were gutted as they were a husband and wife team who offered a truly personal service. I had been trying various practices to see if any matched up to those high standards. It's almost impossible to find unique pracices anymore, but for me White Cross is as close as it gets. We have had cause to visit them a great deal with our cat and every time we have received lovely service. The nurses at reception are helpful and always ready for a chat. The vets are knowledgable and caring and the prices are decent in my view. Unfortunately we lost our cat ultimately but they dealt with this with great sensitivity too and when we're ready for a new pet I'll have no hesitation in using them again.

We have a very highly strung cat and have tried all sorts of different treatments to help calm him, but sadly to no avail. On our visit today, on route we phoned to inform of a slight delay,( Due to afore mentioned reason,) which, as it turned out would not have been a problem. We noticed the patient before our appointment left a good while after we checked in. We were informed that we would have to go to the back of the queue as a matter of protocol. No problem if there had been someone else being seen.(Which was not the case.) When we asked in a polite manner, the receptionist, was quite rude in her reply.

The local Sutton clinic features one veterinarian, nurse, and office manager. Even with a small staff, the hours are impressive. I've typically been able to call their office in the morning and get an appointment for our dog the same day. The clinic has also been able to rush documentation for a pet passport so that our dog could visit the European Union with us. The staff are very professional, and the prices quite reasonable. Dr. Simon Perry is amenable and funny, and really cares about your pet. I can rest easy, knowing that our dog is looked after by such an excellent veterinary clinic.
