Couldn’t recommend Kibbles enough. Willow is very nervous and anxious, she has had confidence clinics with Amy and we have noticed a huge difference in such a short space of time. Amy has so much patience and everything is done at willows pace. Lola my other dog was suffering with pain for a while once I changed to kibbles, I truly felt listened to about my concerns with Lola, the vet Mel changed her pain relief and Lola is honestly like a different dog. I couldn’t recommend kibbles enough

Moved to Kibbles a few months ago following dissatisfaction of a main chain practice. Just walking into the surgery and seeing staff “fur babies” just amplifies the love of our precious fur babies. They really really care and don’t just see you as a walking pound sign and a “profit opportunity”. Firstly our Cocker Spaniel “Cindy” to be registered, followed by our three Feline Fur Babies - “Magic”, “Angel” and “Katie”. They truly are phenomenal quality and I can only wish that this style of Animal Care spreads like a brush fire across their industry. Our recent visit was an extremely sad situation. Our “Katie” was diagnosed by the Veterinary Surgeon as having a non recoverable Tumour in her Jaw. Couldn’t eat and in extreme distress. We took the grave decision to end her pain and suffering. This morning, we attended and were led into their special care space. I was immediately staggered as to the efforts made to allow owners to have time to say their goodbyes. A beautiful Full Wall Mural of “The Rainbow Bridge”. The Surgeon “Alex” talked us through the procedure in a non scripted manner. So incredibly well handled. Following this tragic and painful loss we were given the choice to leave by a private door. We opted for this. Upon visiting the Surgery late this afternoon, I settled our account. I was given a little bag to take away. Upon arriving home I found probably the most beautiful gift for my Wife. A hugely well thought out card with a Paw and Nose print and a few clippings of our “Katie”s hair. This was just so so special, heartfelt and beautiful. To the team at Kibbles - Take a look at yourselves in a mirror - feel fabulous and proud to be a part of what us “Fur Baby” lovers need . . . . . LOVE AND SPECIAL CARE . . . ❤️❤️❤️

We can't rate Kibbles highly enough. Our dog, Archie, was more or less dismissed by our usual vet. We contacted Kibbles on a Saturday morning, he was seen quickly and referred to a specialist eye vet. While waiting for the referral he was seen again and the referral was expedited. The service and attention was second to none, professional, friendly and everything was explained to us. One of the receptionists even went in her own car to pick up some medication for Archie. Tasos, Steven and reception staff went the extra mile. We didn't meet any of the nurses but I'm sure they're also excellent. We have now registered with Kibbles. Thank you.
