I'm so grateful for the whole team, who always take such brilliant care of my girls when we visit. I've never had cats that get up to *so* much mischief before, in particular our 'problem child' Jinx who recently found and unwound a string toy and ate a metre of string with a bit of the metal rod attached... within an hour of discovering this, we were seen in Meopham and given plenty of options and information to best inform our decision of how to proceed. It was a highly stressful situation, but made so much easier by being kept up to date throughout with kind and reassuring phone calls and having absolute trust in the wonderful team. I can't thank them enough for looking after Jinx so well

Very helpful and friendly

Friendly, kind members of the veterinary practice. We registered our puppy recently having been highly recommend by close friends. We have been very happy so far with the friendly team. They are happy to give advice over the phone without unnecessary appointments. Their kindness & compassion is evident, as at the reception desk there is a little (battery not flame!) candle which is lit when a sad situation with another pet owner and their pet may be taking place. For others to show respect. Little things like this stand out. We were previously registered at another practice. Having lost our beloved family dog, with to many painful memories there, we decided to register with this practice.

Genuine, caring staff. Clean, modern site. Puppy socialisation sessions to aid their confidence in vet visits. Free of charge. Treatment prices are high, but this seems to be general across all veterinary surgeries.

Amazing vets. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I took my 10 week old retriever puppy for his 2nd vaccination. He didn't feel a thing. Was given some helpful info to help with his land shark phase. We signed up for pet health club which is exceptional value. They also have an onsite groomers. I would definitely recommend this vets. Think my puppy will be very happy here

We recently registered our puppy at this vet clinic, and her first vaccination went really well. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming—a young, professional team that made us feel comfortable right away. Our puppy, Skye, wasn’t too scared, which speaks volumes about how gentle and caring they were. We also enjoyed our first conversations with the team, and the whole process felt smooth and reassuring. Hopefully, our next visit goes just as well. Highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for a kind and professional veterinary team!

I can’t express enough how wonderful this vets practice is. There has always been an appointment available when I’ve needed to book. I joined the pet plan so all regular treatments are sorted, they even text a reminder when treatments are due. But the very best thing they’ve done is offer (included in the pet plan) socialisation visits. My dog is petrified of new people and going to the vets but is now in the socialisation sessions, we pop in at an arranged time and an amazing nurse spends time with my dog just getting to know her and letting my pup just get used to being there. What an amazing place.
