Very reasonable vets. Only problem is there are no appointments, you have to wait in line, but the prices are good.

King's Road Veterinary Practice
(2 reviews)
I took my 12 year old collie x Chico to Wendy at King's Road Vets as he had been off his food (very…read moreserious for him!) and extremely 'wobbly' and disorientated over the previous 12 hours. By the time I took him to the vets I was convinced that Chico had suffered a stroke and there was no recovering from this. Wendy and her team (I think Helen and Natalie were the staff on duty) could not have been more reassuring and professional. Whilst explaining everything in english (rather than medical words I can't understand) they continued to reassure Chico & calm him despite his obvious distress. I was talked through every procedure that was carried out (blood tests, urine tests and x-rays which they even showed me)and also had the costs explained to me in advance so that there were no nasty surprises at the end of his treatment. Wendy and her team were very thorough & were so patient with me during my many phonecalls asking how my boy was doing! He's back home now, and although I don't know how much longer he'll be with me, I'm confident he's in good hands and will never take him to any other vet. I've just registered both my other dogs with King's Road too. Highly recommend them. In short they really do deliver what they promise. My boy was treated with absolute respect and care, and I was kept informed at every stage.

When my second cat got hyperthyrod trouble they spotted it instantly and saved her life. I have only good things to say about them. This is a very caring well organised practice.

Would not recommend. In my opinion they seem to prioritise money over welfare of your pet. Be aware…read morethat although the deals seem great at first, the medicines and products they prescribe cost more than double the recommended retail price. They give injections and medicine without discussion of price and you get a big shock at reception after your consultation. I've seen many other clients at reception gobsmacked at their prices. Everyone wants to give their pet what's best for them and we will all pay whatever for that. I just believe that vets practises like this one take full advantage of that.

Clifton Lodge Vets
Women need to be very careful when attending the Sedgefield practice alone! I had to take my Mams…read moredog here while dog sitting as I couldn't get an appointment at her usual vet. When I arrived I fully explained her medical history and usual successful treatment which the vet quickly dismissed and ignored. He administered additional treatment without consulting me first. When I rang my mam to pay over the phone she asked why additional treatment had been required. At this point the vet became very hostile and aggressive on the phone and refused to speak to my mam anymore. After payment his behaviour towards me escalated he started shouting that he wouldn't have his skills questioned by anyone, I calmly explained this wasn't the case and he started shouting louder while gesturing and lunging towards me. At this point I left quickly as I feared for my own safety. After both myself and my mam made a formal complaint to clifton lodge about his behaviour l have not received an apology or any sort of response and my mam got a letter from them stating we should have informed them if cost was an issue which we had both already stated was not the issue, they also said 'sorry if you felt the vet was rude'. So once again clifton lodge the issue was not cost and your vet was not rude he was aggressive and I genuinely believe that he could be dangerous. Women should never feel that they are not safe to go somewhere alone and I would advise if any Women have to attend your practice they take someone with them if they are unable to go elsewhere. All this because someone simply asked about the treatment that been given to THIER dog! I can't imagine what he could potentially do to a woman who had actually 'questioned his skills'.

The best service they offer in my opinion is the puppy club on Saturday mornings, an experience never forgotten for you or your dog. About 20 puppies of various sizes get together to socialize the dogs - to cut out aggression towards other dogs as they get older - so you can imagine how mad it sometimes gets and how many paper towels are used as they all get excited. They tend to split into 2 groups of larger and smaller breeds in seperate rooms and have a free play time then usually some sort of talk / discussion about dag ownership, there was also a visit by a specialist dog trainer on one of our mornings. The dogs love it, the owners love it and all the kids love it - children are encouraged to come along too and have great fun meeting all the different breeds and characters. The only downside is cost - although the puppy sessions only cost about £2 per week, on top of all the other costs of a new puppy and the encouragement to buy accesories / food from the vets it can become an expensive business

My experience with Woofsnscruffs was initially a pleasant one, having taken my Pup to a puppy class…read moreat Seaham. Having been impressed with the tutors and the smaller, more personal class sizes, I decided to sign up to the next class up at the same venue in May of 2022. Soon after signing up, my household became ill with COVID for a longer than usual time in what was a difficult time. I contacted Seaham and the lady quickly offer me the option of a refund or carry the credit over to attend another time. I opted for the latter. We later agreed a new date at the Washington centre due to the Seaham tutor having retired. The closer we got to that however, my pup entered her first season. Of course, this meant we couldn't attend the class and I was again offered a refund on 2 further occasions to which I accepted, not knowing when I could next book a class. I was asked to call back with my details to process the refund and, as I did, I was then told that 'we don't do refunds'. I asked to speak to a manager and was told on several occasions that I'd be contacted, by phone and also by email. This didn't happen until I emailed the manager directly. David Potts-Brown, the manager, eventually replied to me to explain once again that refunds are not offered, regardless of what the staff said and regardless of my initial situation of ill health due to COVID. I have since asked for a further correspondence from David to clarify his position on why this is, as his original email suggested that refund policies were relaxed due to COVID, yet seemingly doesn't apply in this instance. I have asked for an explanation of how staff across 2 separate sites have managed to offer a refund on 3 occasions, contradicting their own policy each time. After 2 weeks, I have yet to hear from David and doubt that I shall. I would not recommend you use woofsnscruffs. The handling of my complaint has been poor. Communication has been inconsistent as with the knowledge of their own policies by staff. And management, it feels, are simply ignoring my complaint. There are other trainers and classes you can attend and I'd encourage this reader to look beyond woofsandscruffs.
