This veterinary surgery is amazing. Kind, understand, supportive & professional. I took my end of life 16 year old cat in yesterday and the staff were more than comforting! My little man was sent to sleep painlessly, quickly & with dignity. The vet didn't rush us or get annoyed at my son asking lots of questions. At the end I was allowed to take as much time with the boy as I wanted and the vet took clippings of his fur & put them all pretty in a little glass bottle. She did this for both of us. Fantastic vets, fantastic people. Thank you x

I can’t recommend this vet’s more highly . They performed emergency life-saving surgery on our dog and also managed to treat his ongoing eye condition that our previous vets in Marden wasn’t able to get a hand on. We’ve moved our other young dog over to this vet too and the care for both dogs has been outstanding. All the staff we have dealt with are very knowledgeable, caring and helpful.

What a fabulous vets! All the staff are caring, knowledgeable and efficient. Luke has been great with both our dogs, we’re so pleased they are now under their care. When you walk in, you can see it is a vets and not a pet shop - this is what a vets should be like - Little Hoppers stand out from the rest for all of the above

I can't thank our local vets enough for the incredible care they provided for my dog. My dog had a persistent eye issue that took a long time to heal, but the team was patient, compassionate, and thorough every step of the way. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog was comfortable and well-cared for, and their expertise and dedication truly made a difference in my dog's recovery. I'm so grateful for their kindness and professionalism. Five stars doesn't seem enough to express my appreciation!

My second time visiting with my super nervous rescue pup. Both times they’ve been amazing and really taken the time to gain his trust. They haven’t been the easiest appointments (jabs and eye problems) but both were successful and I came away feeling like they actually care about him rather than just a money making machine like our old vets. So glad we made the move to here and would recommend it to anyone! Actually makes me feel at ease taking them to the vets!
