From the friendly receptionist to the vet who came to greet Twiglet at reception ( a good psychological move ) and then relax her further in the treatment room before treating her the experience couldn’t be more positive . She’s now at home chilling on the sofa as if nothing has happened . Today was for inoculations , but she’s had emergency care here too and each visit has been thorough , discussed fully and with Twigs welfare the only priority . I hugely recommend The Mewes Vets ! Twiglet is totally in love with Marc , but all the vets are good .

Bruce had his 6 month check on Saturday. Very thoroughly carried out by the chief vet and additional investigations made for an eye infection. All this work was done with great skill and knowledge and left me feeling very well cared for (as did Bruce!)

Maxi is an old dog so visits the vet more than some. We are very happy with Mewes Vets. They are always kind and helpful, so am very happy to trust his health to them. I also like that we can always make sure he sees the same vet ( Julia )

I cannot recommend The Mewes Vet highly enough. It’s a calm, compassionate environment which was very reassuring as our cat Lilah was highly stressed by the time we arrived for our appointment. Instead of just setting to with the examination and vaccination, Julia allowed Lilah time to calm down by having a good sniff around the room. Finally, trimming Lilah’s claws wasn’t easy but Nurse Billie had the knack of holding her steady while Julia finished the claw cutting. Everyone at the practice is very helpful and kind.

Very kind and supportive staff to my Spanish rescue dog during her last few days of life.
