My first experience with them was fairly urgent with a flare up of pancreatitis in my dog, which she nearly died from a few months ago. Dawn on reception was great and Radu gave me more information about it so I feel more confident about the condition. The blood tests were turned around in a couple of hours, enabling them to react really quickly. Definitely recommend.

Top-notch CT service at Swale Barn Vets! The team works with outstanding imaging providers and is clearly committed to offering the very best treatment options. A vet with true dedication and passion — it’s reassuring to see such a high standard of care. Highly recommended!

Very professional and understanding and caring staff who genuinely want to do all they can to help. The vet was calm and explained everything and put my mind at rest. Radu is a very experienced and kind man who reminds me of the local vets we had 20 years or so ago. He was recommended to me when my vet of 19 years retired. Although it is a lot further to travel, it is so worth it to be confident that my precious dog is in excellent experienced caring hands. The communication skills of the staff, whether on the phone or face to face, were good, polite and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you so much.

We took in our cat today (who we inherited when his owner passed away recently) who was really poorly and they saw him right away, literally there and then, which was amazing. They were really kind and supportive. Definitely recommend! Nice vets, clean, lovely staff, a very honest and nice vet.

Visited today, at short notice and was so impressed by the caring and gentleness of the vet and the lovely kind receptionist too. They treated my cat with such care and softness - l was really shocked - our last visit to Pets At Home was awful. Would highly recommend this lovely practice 100%. Thankyou!
