I took my new puppy here this morning. They were very nice and clean, the doctor was patient with my questions and gave the pup a full examination in addition to her vaccines. A great experience read more

Our practice has the latest equipment on site and can provide the highest level of care and attention to the pets that visit us. The vet team are happy to offer advice on all aspects of preventative health care and clients can book free appointments with our nurses for advice on weight loss, puppy & kitten checks, dental clinics and flea & worm advice. We are fortunate to have the in house services of an Orthopaedic Surgeon, a Specialist in Diagnostic Imaging and Ultrasound, Certificate holders in Small Animal Medicine, General Veterinary Practice and Surgery. We can also perform laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery including keyhole spay/neuters for our clients. This enables us to offer care for many more complex cases without the need to travel to a referral centre.

The nurses were so lovely to him (he was very scared!) and really seem to love animals. I am a complete over-sentimental mess when it comes to my pets and usually hate being parted from them, but I felt happy leaving him with these guys. On a more practical note, the prices aren't too bad (certainly no worse than any other London vet I've encountered) and everything was carried out with minimal fuss no waiting around at all. Will definitely go back to this branch next time cats need a doctor.

Rating this place is a difficult task. I've given it a rating as a vets, but that is unfair to its…read morestaff who do an amazing job. On the negative side it's not somewhere you really want to be. For a start there's no appointments, so you have to queue, usually for at least a couple of hours. Once you do get called you get to see whatever vet is available, and there's a lot of different vets. There's no chance to build up a relationship with one. It's a bit of a conveyor belt. An example: one vet lets you hold your cat for blood tests, others will insist on getting a nurse in or even sending them into the back. Annoying as I'm well able to hold them and it's better for them if I do. Also, it's no frills treatment. Of course, it is a clinic for people on a low income, so avoiding unnecessary expense is needed. But as someone who's read up on their cat's conditions, I know I'm not getting some of the tests etc that might be available if I was able to afford a private vet. And of course, though most folks and animals there are nice, you do get to share a waiting room for hours with some you'd rather not. Days when badly trained dogs all start barking at each other are not pleasant. I have to give five stars to the staff though. Some of them (naming no names) have been know to be a bit jobsworth, but with some of the folks that come in taking the proverbial (i.e. want free treatment for the dog because they want to buy the newest mobile or something) I can't really blame them. My cats have always been calm there, and while I give myself some credit for that, I think it also shows that the vets have a good attitude. I also feel happy if my cats have to go in for an operation: unlike some small vets they have staff on duty 24 hours. By the way it's not free, you pay a £10 consultation fee plus medical costs. As an example a few years ago dentals for my cats cost £150 each at a private vets, and a couple of years later £40 at the Harmsworth. And yes, it is the place that featured in 'Animal Hospital' with Rolf Harris. It is kind of cool to be able to say your cat has been seen by a celebrity vet, but it's not worth it. If you have the money, you should go to a private vet, to avoid your animal waiting around for hours if nothing else. Most of the ones off the telly seem to have moved on now anyway
I can't believe the grumblers. This organisation is charitable and relies on donations. If you are…read morethere then it's because you are in need of financial help, and as far as I'm concerned you therefore have no right to grumble every penny spent is spent as wisely as possible so that they can cover a larger number of animals. Expecting premium care and attention means you may be depriving another animal in crisis with the care it needs. Targeting staff with your frustration is also unfair they work long hours and have to deal with very many bad-tempered clients or lonely people wanting to chat. Their priority is the animals and that, as far as I'm concerned, is the right way for it to be. I've used the Harmsworth twice in an emergency and I think they do a fantastic job with the little they are given. Really fantastic. Next time you are frustrated by a long wait or lack of a smile from someone understand that it's because of the huge volume of demands that are made on the hospital and maybe make a small donation to help out, on top of your fee, that's what we did. Just £5 or £10 but it's a nod to the idea that you shouldn't take on a pet then expect someone else to provide it's healthcare at low cost for the whole of its life. It's an emergency service, not the vet at the corner of the road. So keep your expectations more realistic and be a little more generous with the people who work there, please. It upsets me that they are being targeted when it's a charity and they are doing the best they can. Other vets have a huge mark up on their costs and they also make mistakes.

The reception staff (all nurses I think) here are great, and seem to go out of their way to help above and beyond what I was expecting on my recent visit for my kitten's jabs.

I can't recommend them enough if you are looking for a reasonably priced practice which provides superior healthcare for your furry friend! Highbury village vet has always provided exceptional care for our little dog. This practice, as well as the 24-hour village vet hospital, have helped us so many times. They not only excel at routine care (such as dental cleaning which my dog has had at this location), they also have given me assistance and support when my pet had emergency health issues. Just last week, they fit us in at the last minute on a Friday evening when I came home and discovered that my pet had seriously injured himself. The initial care which he obtained at Village Vet was invaluable in giving him the best chance at recovery and allowing me to safely transport him. I don't know what I would have done without the assistance of everyone at the Highbury location. They were kind enough to help us when we had nowhere else to turn; reinforcing yet again, how much they care about me and my pet.

We adopted a wylie little kitten and have needed to get her jabs, worming, and wellness checks done. We'll also be getting her fixed when she's old enough. The staff at Abbey is extremely welcoming and kind and the waiting room feels laid back instead of clinical. You can stop in any time to purchase high quality food, toys, and other basics for your pet. As far as I can tell, there is only one vet, but she's fantastic. They have daytime and evening hours so you don't need to leave work early. The vet has remembered our kitten each of the three times she's been there and seems genuinely happy to be working with animals. Payments are about average for what you'd expect. The wellness exam was free when I first got the kitten, and for her full set of jabs it was £50. Not bad. They'll take good care of your pet and you can't get more convenient than this if you live in the area.

We came upon this independantly owned vet surgery after having bad experiences with 2 other vets,…read moreand I'm so glad we did. We bought our first ever pet, a german shepherd puppy, and were panicked when we noticed a cyst between 2 of his fingers. We took him to a local vet and they spent 2 minutes looking at his paw and without even explaining or asking us, booked him for surgery the next day and injected him with painkillers and anti-biotics. Having felt that we were being taken for a ride we made an appointment with the pets practice for a second opinion. The nurses were helpful and polite, and a convenient appointment time was very easy to arrange as they open later than most vets. Our vet, Kylie, was really wonderful about everything. We told her our concerns, and she examined him, and told us professionally, but also kindly, what we did and didn't need to worry about. We also got to discuss some of our other concerns as first time pet owners, and she was very helpful. For example, she in the course of the appointment had noticed he had dry skin and that he was a slightly under weight and we may want to consider a different diet. We didn't feel pressured or guilted into doing anything, and she didn't just add things to the bill like the other vet, but I was happy that she took the initiative to notice and let us know. I think what annoyed me about the others is that they didn't respect their ethical and professional boundaries, and it was so in tune with the stories you hear about vet's being scam artists (there was an episode of panorama about it). At the end of everything she decided to prescribe a course of antibiotics, which seemed more sensible than cutting into him at the first oppurtunity like the other vet. Her manner with us and our puppy inspired our confidence in her. We did change the diet which not only adressed the skin and weight issue, but his distaste towards his food which we had noticed. I can't say enough good things about this place. It's convenient as it opens late, has parking, and is easy to get to. It's always clean and a nice environment. We decided to our dog to the puppy class was good, and it was nice to hear about advice and training directly from a vet, and it turns out that this is the only place with a vet-led training class in this area. Since then our poor puppy has a few medical issues, in each case the advice was always good, and we felt safe trusting them as we felt that they really did have our pet's best interest at heart.

It directed me to book online with the Brentwood location as we need Brooking up to date with one of his vaccinations as well as pet passport for pending business travel. They emailed us to inform us that they were switching us to the Upminster location as that was the one that had the correct vets to do these things. I called them to confirm as they requested and gave again all the information I filled online per their request. Confident we were booked that day for a 1:15pm appointment at the Upminster location. I should mention they emailed us this the night before and I called that morning. So we go and we arrive early 1:09pm and because of the current Covid restrictions we wait in car. I do tell my fiancé to call them. He's does and they at first have no recollection of our appointment but then find. They tell us to wait in car and they will have vet call us then they will come get Brooking from the car. Minutes roll by I see people coming and going. Someone who arrives at 1:20pm has their dog taken by 1:30 which was there appointment. It's now 1:50pm and I'm getting ticked. My guy rings them and just as a women who works there comes running up what's your name. We are parked right out front she passed us by asking other people first. We tell her and she says they have been trying to call us. Absolutely untrue when we've received calls whilst waiting. She says she'll try us again right now to answer and we confirm they have correct number. Minutes go by still no call and so we call her she finally puts us on hold for vet. This call is beyond ridiculous. The woman starts by saying why are you here. And then immediately cuts my guy off to ask a series of questions about Brooking. Mind you I went over this when I confirmed that morning via call we confirmed again when we arrived and now going threw yet again. All I can say about this place rude and bad customer service. They don't seem to know who you are or why you've brought your pet. Worst they don't seem to care. The vet seemed very unintelligent. She didn't convey that our pet would be in capable hands with them. After the call she tells us to come bring him to the door she will meet us. We sit there feeling very uncomfortable discussing should we leave our pet with her and cannot. She approaches the car and we tell her as much. I don't know what kinda operation these people are running but it isn't reassuring in such uncertain times. I don't recommend any of these locations of Veterinary offices. She also had said they couldn't do the pet passport any longer as now you do pet certificate 10days before your travel which is fine. This was why we were switched by Brentwood office to this location. She also repeated herself over and over on the phone. It got quite Frustrating. I said we would get later when closer to the business trip but still wanted vaccination he was due. We could of just stayed at Brentwood location as it was a 2pm appointment. This whole experience as a whole was just not on in any regard and I would never recommend this place and we are seeking a much better veterinarian for Brooking. In a few words UNPROFESSIONAL & INCONSIDERATE.
