Joined Ryder Davies a year ago…After two previous vets had..shown no sign of trying to find out what was wrong with my Beloved dog Bella …But in the end..l come to realise ….no vets were really any better 😒sadly I had to say goodbye to my best friend on the 24th of December 2025 😪…I’ll never have anymore dealings with The veterinary industry again.

Always the friendliest staff you could ask for and they always take great care of our cats whenever they see them. Fast responses to any questions we ask on WhatsApp. We couldn’t ask for a better vet.

I’m absolutely thrilled to have found this veterinary clinic. All the staff have been so friendly and helpful, making the entire experience stress-free. Tim, the vet, was particularly amazing—very skilled and compassionate. He recommended the best possible care for my beloved dog, and the surgery he performed was brilliant. I’m so impressed with the level of expertise and the care shown throughout the process. What really stood out to me was the free aftercare they offer, which is truly above and beyond. It’s not something you see everywhere, and it shows their commitment to the well-being of their patients. I also want to mention one of the receptionists (I didn’t catch her name), but she was so kind and reassuring. After I dropped my dog off for surgery, I said, “I’ll hopefully see you soon to her,” and she responded with a firm, reassuring “We will see you soon.” That small gesture made such a difference to my peace of mind during a difficult time. The clinic is also very reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful place to care for my pet, and I’ll definitely be returning for any future needs. Highly recommend!

In the early hours of a Sunday morning in April 2024 my dear boy Thomas was taken very ill, put onto a drip and given a blood transfusion. I was preparing myself that I might never see him again. However ,3 days later he was well enough to come back to me. He has since been under the care of Dr Tim Gamston who has been treating Thomas with his various 'elderly dog' ailments as he nears his 16th birthday, tailoring each treatment specifically to Thomas's needs and dealing with my concerns whilst being kind and patient. I also cannot fault the Admin team who have responded sympathetically, efficiently and promptly to my phone calls and questions I have put through on the Pets App. Sometimes having to get us an appointment at short notice. I feel that Thomas is receiving the best care possible whilst I have been supported too. Thank you to the whole team.
