My rescue dog is very wary of being touched by strangers. I took him for his annual booster this week and pre-warned the vets of his anxieties. When I arrived everything had been put in place to alleviate his distress and everything went perfectly. Happy dog and owner. Thank you.

First time taking our cat Rosie to Kingsway Vets and they were excellent all round from the reception staff to the vet we saw. She was very empathetic towards Rosie's health needs. Took time to explain everything. Thank you so much for your brilliant service.

We are always so happy with the care Kingsway offer our dogs. When in need they have been brilliant, keeping my fur baby safe and comfortable at a scary time. So good to feel you can trust them and they always do their best. Thank you to all the staff at Kingsway.

Heather Walker

What marvellous people, full of compassion and kindness for owners and pets. I wouldn’t use any other veterinary service

Claire Waddell

We visited earlier today for our Airedale, Lottie, who is on holiday with us in the area. All the staff we spoke to were welcoming, friendly and extremely professional. Lottie was thoroughly examined, and although we are only visiting the area, the staff were so accommodating in giving us a consultation really promptly and we didn’t feel rushed at any point during her appointment. Vets often receive bad press for cost etc, however we would 100% recommend Kingsway-we could not have been offered service any better elsewhere.
