The environment was calm and well appointed, and the staff were so lovely. We really felt they took care of our cat, and were kind and patient with us. Taking your pet to the Vets can make you feel very vulnerable, but all the staff treated us with the utmost empathy and care, and took pains to communicate how they were caring for Scout before, during and after her operation.

Claire and her team are amazing, always caring and friendly and go above and beyond to keep pets happy and healthy. Always a good experience even in these difficult Covid-19 times. Highly recommend

Took Holly to beacon view vets today for her booster injections. The vet was extremely thorough with the health check and reassured me on some issues I was concerned with. I was there far longer than my allocated time but I never at any time felt I was under pressure to leave. Holly even allowed her to examine her claws, an issue I have been struggling with since she was handled roughly at her previous vets. I am so happy that we got to the top of the waiting list after several months.

Amazing vet! Claire and team are so great! Stanley my 11yrs old lab is extremely nervous around new people and situations and they were so good with him. I am so very happy to have found this team of great vets and animal lovers.

Highly recommend Claire and her team at Beacon View. My two usually stressy cats took their annual jabs in their stride this morning. Separate waiting areas makes a huge difference and the facilities are fantastic. Thank you Claire and the team.

Three weeks ago, Snoopy, our 10 ten year old Jack Russell, had a growth removed from under an eyelid. From initial consultation through to the op. itself and aftercare, Claire and everyone at the practice looked after him superbly well. Snoopy is now back to his handsome self and actually enjoys visiting the practice. That has never happened before

I decided to move my 16½ yo Jack Russell Terrorist to Beacon View having become disillusioned with my vet at the time, whose receptionist asked me "What's the animal's name"! Harri on reception at Beacon View is incredibly friendly and helpful, the practice is well laid out (and thoughtfully so) and Sorrel was very empathetic to my wonderful pet, thorough, and so good with him (he hates vets!) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, and would actively encourage pet owners to switch. A breath of fresh air - I'd forgotten what it was like to have a good vet.

We are very confident that our cats health is in expert and caring hands. The practice was recommended to us by a family member because of the excellent and prompt treatment her pet received. Claire and team always seem to have time to listen and speak to us and know our, and our cats foibles. It's reassuring that we can get blood test results quickly, Our cat had to have several teeth extracted which is a tricky operation but it went exceptionally well, and the cat made a full recovery,. We have already recommended to friends. Thank you Beacon View. You're a great team
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.
