8 healthy pup, all checked, jabbed and non stop help along the way with a few sick pups. Been non stop care and attention the whole way through raising the pups. If you’re thinking of joining a new vet, or a new place for c sections or anything else pet related. This is the place and Johns the guy!!

Many thanks to Dr. John and his team for helping deliver our Pembroke Welsh Corgi's puppy via C-section! They timed everything perfectly, and both momma and her baby are healthy and doing great!

I rang up and registered my foal as he needed a microchip and passport paperwork stamped and signed. Very happy. Quick service. Excellent price. Thank you.

Having had a bad experience with a couple of Vets, we couldn’t have been happier when we found John Alexander at Vintage Vets. We have two English Bulldogs, and the help and support we have from Vintage Vets and the whole team (especially Saba) has been fantastic. We live over an hour away from them, but wouldn’t go anywhere else for our bullies.

I brought my pup lucy in for a spay and the procedure went smoothly the people were nice caring and respectfull. the lady at the desk was lovely and helped to calm my pup while i was trying to call a taxi. They also took in my cat overnight who had been hit by a car, when every other vet said we would need to put him down he is now fit and strong. Thank you vintage vets! Would HIGHLY recommend this vets to anyone.

We’ve been with Vintage for a year now. We first used them with our elderly dog at the end of her life last year. She suffered with arthritis and a bad heart. The end of life care Johnny and the team provided was not only professionally first class but always driven by compassion and a true love for the wellbeing of animals and humans. This year we took on a rescue dog (pictured at the vets). She’s a live wire and ran away for 7 nights. On her return she needed anaesthesia for stitches to a deep gash in her hind paw. Again, Johnny and the team were amazing from the moment we took her there, through the exemplary follow up care. I cannot recommend this vet enough.

Wonderful vets, and prices are amazing not like other greedy vets that charge crazy prices. Loving caring staff, lovely vet! Could not do enough for our beautiful Trixie. Thank you so much for everything.

Such a refreshing change to go to a vets that doesn't rip you off because they have been bought up by the big conglomerates so they can set the price in your borough and there's nothing you can do about it if you don't have a car. The two owners of this practice are kind, generous with their time and charged us what was fair. We will only be using this practice from now on. Thanks guys!
