I wouldn’t take your furry ones here, they don’t have a clue what they are doing.

THE BEST VETS AROUND! Thank you Paul, Angie and the team. Your service and the way you looked after Gizmo and explained everything to me was brilliant. The after care provided is like nothing I have ever seen before. Thank you!

Like most of the reviews the pet care isn't the problem. It's a receptionist who likes to have an argument and throw her weight around. And too money orientated. Lifes too stressful anyway without having to deal with people with an attitude when your trying to do the best for your animals. Very upsetting exsperience. I'd rather have a conversation with a vet not an argument with an admin assistant.

I have been amazed by the care and professionalism. My 9 year old mongrel was castrated there yesterday. The care he received was tremendous. They gave me excellent advice, and this morning a follow up call to check on him. What an incredible service

Vets for Pets; the place that pets’ dream of. Like a mother who nurtures her child, the need to find the best in services for my pet is essential. The moment I walked into the shop, of which I have been into many times since adopting our beautiful feline bundle of joy! The atmosphere is pleasant. I had to stop myself from straying to purchase more products for our very spoilt, but deserved Caesar. My aim was to take him to his first Consultancy appointment at our new vet. New for us that is. Vets for Pets sits at the back of the Pets at Home store in the heart of Gravesend. Surprisingly enough, our Caesar never made a peep; which was unusual because every single time he attended our previous vets, he trembled almost in fear. Almost that is, and of course that is my opinion. But Caesar seemed more curious than anything as he sat calmly in his luxury cat carrier. Unfortunately, I got the date wrong and arrived a week early! Next time I will clarify the date when I book rather than relying on ‘see you Saturday then’. Nevertheless, the very friendly receptionist managed to accommodate by squeezing me in, but I had to wait 20min. That wasn’t a problem so I waited. When we were called in by another very welcoming face of one of the vets, Paul, he was friendly, chatty, answered all my questions regarding Caesar and his eating habits, and Caesar sat there just looking, curious, and just didn’t seem bothered about being handled by someone new. I even got to see him being weighed, which I never did from he was a kitten at our provisional vets. I was even more surprised of the very reasonable price of the visit and his treatment. Plus, although they offer Pet plan, of which I will consider for the future, I didn’t feel it was obligatory as I had felt with our old vets. All I can say, in fact, I have plenty to say, but I will try and limit my word count so I’m not sounding repetitive, that this place is just what we have been looking for. And yes, Caesar has a say in it too! All the reception staff that we came across during our visit were friendly, smiley and genuinely interested in Caesar. The only thing I have left to question is why I didn’t make the move earlier. Highly recommended.
