Best vets we decided to move with. Our sweetheart cat Binky unfortunately passed away 2 days ago, but in her time she came here she received nothing but the best care. The receptionist ladies always lovely and particularly Ainee (Irish lady) who seen Binky over the years. Couldn't thank her enough for her compassion and help over the time we've been there, always felt listened to and always felt like she genuinely cared. I haven't got one bad word to say about this place. Thank you for everything ♥️

I really can't fault the care and attention given to our babies. Even though it's not the news I wanted I know they will be there to support both me and my little princess. All the staff are really wonderful and caring.

First visit today with my dog Misty having not long moved back to Bolton, the reception staff was so friendly and helpful. The vet Aine is amazing Wasn't a quick in and out with the either, explained treatment and not just handed tablets like previously Update, sadly had to have one of the cats put to sleep last week, she was treated with respect and dignity right until the very end and I was able to stay with her. Thanks again Aine Jonathan

Such lovely kind reception staff for start. I have many rescued reptiles and Jochem has been my exotic vet for years. I have been many places and some very big names for the exotics, however I Jochem tops them all. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and does not rush you. He will sit and explain in full detail what is going on with your animal and try the best for them. Not making quick rash decisions that could be the end of their lives like other vets I have been too. I will only trust my exotics to Jochem and Vets4Pets have truly got themselves an amazing and caring vet. He needs to be definitely looked after, he’s one of a kind. Anyway, unfortunately I lost my leopard gecko last week and he passed away. I updated Jochem as he said to keep him in the know, that he had passed. Within a few days of letting the vets know, I received a sympathy card with hand written paragraphs offering their kind words. This was so kind of them and these little touches do make a big difference. It shows how much a company really does care about its customers and it’s not just about money. Thank you again. The Smart Family and the scale children.

Been going here for past 3 months due to acquiring a new member to the family. The staff are excellent and always ready to help. We are new pet owners so this is all new to us but the staff here have been with us every step. We are happy we chose this place for our bundle of joy.
