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.

Willows Veterinary Centre
Willows Veterinary Centre Hated it…read moreBe prepared to be rippped off ! First visit with my dog for a booster vaccination, no vaccine was available, but my dog was examined, for which I paid. I returned next week, my dog was vaccinated, and they charged me for the vaccination and another examination. I complained, and then I was only charged for the vaccination. I took my other dog in for a booster, plus treatment to prevent kennel cough, which consisted of a nose spray.. I paid the bill, and then got a message that I had not been billed for the kennel cough treatment. I couldn't argue, because I didn't have an itemised bill, and when I went to pay I was charged £36 !! Enquiries at other vets in the area reveal the going rate is £15. I complained, but to no avail. The internet price of the same treatment is £8.46, so I went back and asked for a prescription so that I could order the treatment for my other dog, and it was refused. I said that I would contact the RCVS, and I was told to go ahead. No wonder they weren't bothered, according to the RCVS website, they are not accredited. I am a pensioner and cannot afford to be taken advantage of like this. Don't let this happen to you.
Absolutely appalling. My cat was rushed in yesterday as an emergency (they were the closest vets)…read more Was told he had stones in his kidneys, this would require a catheter flush & possibly an op, to do said op I was quoted £260 for the scan, flush & consultation. Op on top would be £800!! Absolute rip off! And the kicker? If I couldn't afford that? Put my cat down, my healthy 7 year old cat!!! that was their solution. There was no option to pay half the bill at the emergency consultation & pay the op bill (if it was needed) later. They're no prepared for emergencies at all, unless you walk in there with a fortune in your pockets they're not going to help. I had to contact the PDSA in Gateshead, was told that yes could bring my cat in that day & since then? My cat has made a full recovery! Avoid this place like the plague! If you absolutely need a vet in the shields area and don't want to head out to Gateshead or can't go to PDSA, Vets 4 Pets are brilliant also!

They arranged pick up, looked after her and then took her to the cattery when they felt she was well enough to be with my other cat, they kept and eye on her and kept me informed throughout the whole fortnight. 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.

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.

The thought of kennels and other such services, do not appeal to me, as our dog is like a child to us, so we only want the best of the best for him! Whilst looking around, there were many pet care services available to choose from. We actually infact checked out 2 other services prior to using Maries pet care services but we were not impressed by the service or location of the other pet care services. When we found Marie, we checked out other reviews and decided to setup a meeting with Marie and bring along little Freddie too, to meet marie and her little bichon frise Ben. As soon as we arrived at Maries home, we were initially impressed by the location and also Maries home, she is very clean and hosts other dogs sometimes, which was great for us, as Freddie is very social! The service provided by this particular pet care service is a home from home service, so we pre-wrote Freddies daily schedule and feeding routine, so that Marie could follow this whilst we were away. She has done a fantastic job, well done Marie! See you again soon.
