I had called in advance in something of a panic and the lady I spoke to was very reassuring and kind. She told me to come right away and they would look after him. As soon as I walked in the lady knew who I was and she asked me to take a seat. I only had to wait a few minutes before the vet called me in. The Vet I saw was so lovely. He was kind and caring and really made me feel better. Unfortunately the outcome of his examination was not good as my rat had to be put to sleep :( The vet offered me the option of operating on my rat but he said it was very unlikely that he would survive and it would cost me a lot of money. He did not pressure me into spending extra money and made sure he gave me the facts for both options so I could make an informed choice. I left the room, clearly very upset, and the receptionist gave me a tissue and made me a cup of tea, telling me to take my time and there was no rush. Whilst I was sitting recovering the vet came out to see me and said my rat had just drifted away and did not suffer, which made me feel better. When it was time to pay the receptionist seemed to be feeling very bad to have to charge me for putting my rat to sleep, but I understood that I had to pay. The staff were so lovely and kind at Ark. I haven't had cause to go back to a vets since then but if I did I would definitely go to Ark.

Asked for some tabs to calm dog through fireworks, insisted had to be seen, even though dog was only there couple of weeks ago and forgot to ask while there, got tabs in past over phone no problem until now. Explained this but told had to come in and bring dog & will be charged consultation again just for tabs. Seen vet who tried sales pitch on some gel (guessing trying to make more profit) but eventually gave up giving usual tabs and charging for 2min consultation that mum didnt want, paid by card to find after querying why over £50, that she was overcharged but told has to wait for refund of overcharge as paid by card! So vets have charged a pensioner for consultation she didnt want, overcharged her, had to pay 2 taxis, total cost over £50 all for few tabs costing £11, pure profit orientated and no loyalty or compassion, disgraceful service

I cannot sing his or his staff's praises enough. Mr Baylis saved my cat's life after he was run over and he went over and above his expected role as a vet. Despite the surgery being 6 miles from my house, I still take my pets to see him (and have to endure the constant miaowing all the way there!!). If you're thinking of registering your pet here, do it, it's the best vets you'll ever find.

Despite my early call at 8.15 am. to the emergency line, there was no hesitation from the Vet to meet me within 30 minutes at the practice. This young man spent some time examining our Dog and listening to all we had to say, and immediately gave us reassurances and confidence that our boy was in no danger. He explained everything in detail and could not have been more supportive. He spent time administering treatment and explained how we should look after our lad for the next few days. Well done, would highly recommend. 48 hours later, he is on the mend, happy little chap, looking for food and cuddles.

We have been using these vets now for several years due to owning 2 pet rats (of varying sexes…read morealong the years). Compared to Rhyd Broughton, who we went to a couple of times with one of our first rats, and promptly never went back due to attitude, price, and the feeling of an overall lack of interest or knowledge about rats; Borras Park Vets are outstanding. [As an example, at Rhyd Broughton, after having one of our rats put down, I had to wait in reception for well over 5 minutes, in tears, waiting to pay for the treatment. Disgraceful]. The two main vets at Borras are both lovely - very approachable, informative, and knowledgeable. Their prices are reasonable, and in an emergency they always do their best to fit us in. A very nice touch after one of our rats had to be put down was they sent us a With Sympathy card. Very thoughtful, and costs them very little. Borras Park also have a surgery in Lavister (by the Grosvenor Hotel in Pulford).

Threatened to not treat my cat and take a staple out of his foot which was a follow up appointment because I challenged her attitude. The receptionist then tried to say there would be a charge for taking out the staple which was part of the treatment I had already paid for. I have since changed vets who charged me almost 50% less than I was charged here for my cats dental treatment too. AVOID THEM, ESPECIALLY ALESSANDRA

We found these vets are very helpful, caring, and informative. When we called to ask questions about treating them for fleas, and some other questions, they told us everything we needed to know over the phone and it was so nice to get the info. we wanted so easily. When we took one of our kittens in, the vet was very good with her. (Despite the fact that our kitten really did not enjoy the experience! But then, what pet does like seeing the vet?) I would definitely recommend this vet.
