We already knew this practice through our local branch, so we had no hesitation booking Skye’s surgery here — and they absolutely lived up to expectations. Skye, our golden retriever, had a keyhole spay procedure the day before yesterday, and honestly the recovery has been remarkable. We were half-joking beforehand that we might finally get a couple of days of peace and quiet from her boundless energy — but she bounced back so fast it’s like she never had surgery at all (as you can see in the photo!)!!! The whole experience was reassuring from start to finish. The communication and care throughout were excellent, and we always felt like Skye was in safe, attentive hands. If you’re nervous about bringing your pet here for a procedure — don’t be. They’re wonderful people, and your dog couldn’t be in better hands. 🐾 Thank you team for taking care of our good girl ❤️

The team at this vet practice is always friendly and efficient. There’s never any waiting time, and they really try to make the visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible for my cat. I always feel that my cat is in good hands here. 🐾

We changed vets just at the right time. After a very negative experience with our previous vet we registered with Sevenoaks Vets. They diagnosed our dog and gave us heartfelt guidance. Within three days of diagnosis we had to put Teddy to sleep. Sevenoaks vets were so kind and helped us navigate this heartbreak. Thank you so much.

Excellent care for my cat from the Vet Charlotte and the lovely receptionists. I love this practice it has a lovely atmosphere and there is parking across the road which makes it all the more accessible.

David Cox

This is the most caring vets we have used where the emphasis is on treating animals and not focused on making a profit. Special mention must go to Charlotte who provided excellent care for our dog especially at the end of his life and showed real empathy at such a sad time. Would thoroughly recommend Sevenoaks veterinary surgery.

Can’t rate this veterinary surgery highly enough. Our pet is at end-of-life and the care and compassion we have received is second to none. Where we have been used as cash-cows at previous vets, Charlotte is very aware of the financial implications and recommends the best treatment plans and medication for our pet’s needs. She explains everything in detail and answers any questions we have, clearly and succinctly. We have seen her at every visit, which means we don’t have to explain the situation every time to a new vet. I wish we had known about this practice 8 years ago.
