This is based on my first visit here 😊 Easy to find Plenty of parking by the surgery, and off road parking is available The staff were friendly and well informed Very thorough check up on my cat, and the vet was really friendly Prices I would say are probably standard for the industry? Overall, very happy 👍🏻

I’ve had two dogs end up being treated badly ..my first dog was over prescribed steroids ..hd ended up dying young it broke my heart 😪then recently my second beloved dog ended up the same way this time with her kidneys …they never checked them even though they had her for 8hours ..I’ll never forgive these vets &I’ll never get another dog …vets today are a disgrace.

After a bad and disrespected appointment at the rspca, I decided to take my missy to ashcroft and pay full price for a different vet to see her. And what a big difference it was, the reception lady's were lovely pointed me in the right direction and very understanding ill be forever greatful for your kindness, also there was 2 vet ladies my missy saw 1 at ashcroft and 1 at barns copdock, a big thank you for making us feel comfortable in missy's last few days. They spoke with missy and offered her little treats made her feel comfortable, even when she called missy though missy followed with her tail wagging, it was really nice to see There was 1 thing I didn't like and that was when we went to Copdock to have missy pts our appointment time 5.10, we got there 5.08 missy was sniffing around, I was abit upset and was trying to get my breath to be able to take her in, by 5.12 they where calling me as I was walking through the door, that made me feel a little uncomfortable and rushed, To these vets and receptionist that helped me a huge thank you big respect to you :-)

My dog had eaten a sock and glove whilst on lead and was vomiting for a few days. After he brought them up he was still not eating. Took him to the vets and they were lovely. They examined him and was given some anti inflammatory paste to take. They are very patient at the vets and explained everything they were going to check. Vets are getting a bad rep due to costs but I love my boy and will do anything for him.
