Staplehurst: I was recommended by a friend. So far so good. One vet bless him has to say everything in a hundred words when it only needs 10. Great that they have nurses on reception. Hit and miss on reception, one nurse is grumpy and ill mannered, never apologising when there’s been a mistake. All the vets are lovely. I love the online booking system. It’s great that they are always running within 10 minutes of the appointment time and the waiting room is never brimming with backlog appointments like so many vets have every single time. I’ve recommended them to friends who have given the same feedback to us.

So glad I contacted this practice re: my Greyhound's dental issues. I always opt for independent practices (where possible). Sara was so lovely to both myself & my dog. She explained things really thoroughly, I instantly trusted her. I've picked my boy up today after his dental procedure and can't praise her and the practice enough. Thank You for looking after him so well 🙏

Went to this practice on recommendation for Springer approaching 13. Absolutely lovely team. Nurses explain everything really clearly. Max cost explained in detail but final bill was less than max. Complex surgery carried out expertly. then post op care very carefully explained. Extremely caring practice.

The staff and vets at Little Hoppers Animal Hospital show such care and genuinely love the animals they are taking care of when they are poorly! I want to especially commend Vet Sara for the way she has continued to show such a lovely, kind, caring and a genuine interest in helping our cats recover from various ailments but also having such a lovely kind manner when explaining to owners what to expect during operations or under medication for periods of time. She has always made us feel less anxious and reassures our worries answering and explaining any questions in detail! Mya, Marley and Ava all love her and completely relax when in her care! Little Hoppers I can highly recommend to anyone who needs a practice with such high standards ! Thank you to all of the staff and vets you are fabulous! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Went out of their way to help me at short notice and in a panic. Kind, efficient, calm and accommodating. Thank you so much for today and helping Moomin. I really can't say how much I appreciate it. Thank you.

Little Hoppers have been brilliant since transferring to them from our previous vets, our 16 year old dog is on a particular medication and Little Hoppers went above and beyond to find her medication despite it being out of stock everywhere! We are really grateful for their help so far and huge thank you for making our little lady so happy! Big shout out to Hayley and Gemma x

We went to Little Hoppers Animal hospital yesterday to see our regular doctor Dr Sara Levy. Sara has been taking care of our cats for many years and she's an expert in the field. She always explains things in detail and answers all of our questions with expert knowledge. The practice is lovely, clean and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend Little Hoppers Animal Hospital.

Best vets I have ever joined! Took our cat to have him neutered and they looked after him so well! Receptionists were lovely and the vet explained everything simply and clearly! Such a lovely bunch, like a little family who really go the extra mile to care for your pet. Definitely would recommend 😄
