Sally Williams
Having a very nervous dog, visiting the vets was always something we worried about. Since joining Beacon View we no longer have that worry. The staff are so understanding and patient which makes us feel relaxed and helps our four legged friend cope with something she finds very scary. They listen to your concerns and genuinely care.

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. This was a much better experience than we've had with other surgeries in the past, and we'd absolutely recommend Beacon View. Thanks to you all :)

The team at Beacon View are amazing. They are very knowledgeable, gentle and caring. They treat each of our dogs with great attention and sensitivity, providing an excellent standard of care. As an added bonus, they have great knowledge of sighthound breeds and the surgery is a very dog-friendly environment. The whole team at Beacon View has been brilliant from the day we first registered with them.
Claire De Boos
Always happy with the efficient and professional service we receive at Beacon View vets. All staff work exceptionally hard and are friendly and approachable, we always know our pooch Lola is in safe hands when she visits. Big thanks to Claire and your exceptional team for providing such a great veterinary service to the village of Eastry.
Dale & Jeffrey
Jeffrey went into Beacon View Veterinary practice today for his little boy operation his operation was slightly different as he had a retained right testicle in the abdomen. Lead Vet Claire Smith and the rest of the team have been outstanding providing the best care for my darling boy. During the COVID pandemic they have worked really hard through these unusual and challenging times, I also visit monthly for Jeffrey’s Cytopoint as he has a lot of allergies. I cannot recommend Claire and her team more.

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.
