I can’t thank Claire enough.... after a long walk with Cookie the cocker spaniel he came home with a grass dart in his ear.... we rang the vets and too out surprise Claire picked up the phone .... we explained what had happened and she told us she had just got home, to give her half an hour and she would be back with us..... she examined Cookie and told us that he would have to be sedated to remove it.... pain killers were given and he’s due for the procedure today ...... Cookie is more than just a dog to me.... he’s helped me through loosing my dad and is more like a friend than a pet .... i just wanted to say Thank you soooo much for what you have done to make sure Cookie was comfortable and for turning out when you had only just got home .... I cannot recommend enough

Decided to change vets as I was so concerned re an ongoing problem with a cat's dental problem. I was so grateful and relieved to experience enormous help from both receptionist and vet. A lovely atmosphere in the practice, light, and comfortable, even the cat settled down in no time.

My cats were very calm and relaxed during their experience, Tess the vet was great with them and the staff were all very friendly and the whole practice was very clean.

Excellent service from pre date of appointment where contact is second to none, on the day where I, as the client is felt at ease by the vets and nurses, to the update phone calls saying how my pet was doing to pickup where you know that they've been very well looked after, to the post op follow up appointment a few days later. Consumate professionals, caring, loving and extremely good value. It's not about the cost, it's about how we'll their looked after, the treatment they receive and post op treatment and advice they provide. Couldn't ask for better.

Our first visit to Vet Claire was a breeze! Our 9 week old Labrador pup was perfectly happy to go off in Claire’s cuddling arms for a check up. Clean bill of health given and I could even watch her with the IPad! Such an amazing service and we’ll be back next week!

Thank you Claire and Josh for your efficient and comprehensive care of our little rescue dog, Summer. We now feel completely reassured and confident and cannot recommend or thank you enough!

Claire helped me take care of my elderly Golden Doodle at a different practice. I really liked her manner with him and her encouragement and advice to me when I was falling apart. I was delighted to find her again at Beacon View and have seen quite a bit of her and the team in the 9 weeks I’ve had my new dog! They are all so nice and Bertie is more than happy to go in with them. He’s had 2 procedures and the staff kept me informed every step of the way. The check ups are either done by email with photos, telephone or in person. Their aftercare is excellent too. It’s good to know that the whole team work in the same way as Claire and I would definitely recommend them.

Herbert waiting on Friday for his appointment for his vaccinations at Beacon View Vets. They are all so friendly and helpful there. Herbert wasn’t as scared as he was at the previous vets. In fact he was quite calm. Thanks to all the staff there. Highly recommend this vet practice!
Not all vets are created equal. Be part of a practice where your pet is treated as a member of the family, and you are considered a partner in your pet’s care.
