I have only just registered my dogs with this surgery as just moved to the area. I’m so impressed, I have 2 rescue dogs who are not happy about coming to the vets, they have been so patient with them, have not rushed them and I am so grateful for that. Amazing team, always willing to help, would recommend 100% to friends and family.

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.

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.

Just a massive gratitude post to Claire and her team @ Beacon View Vets. We very nearly lost our little man last week when he got a pig snout stuck in his throat. We had never seen a blue dog until Wednesday. We are so very grateful and lucky to have this wonderful team on our doorstep. We ❤️ You all. Thank you.

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.

Can’t recommend enough. Our cat was hit by a car and suffered some nasty fractures to his pelvis. We received daily updates via text and video call during his stay. The aftercare since he’s been home is second to none with frequent checkups and advice. Not just a business, Claire and her team are real animal lovers. Would not take our pets anywhere else now.
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.
