Breath of Fresh Air!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Pear Tree Vets is a breath of fresh air. I visited with my cat Oscar. The staff were very friendly and professional, from the reception staff through to the Nurses and the Vets. The building is amazing, with high spec equipment and the prices were very favourable for an independent practice. I really love the idea of having separate cat and dog waiting rooms and consulting rooms too… I would highly recommend anybody who is thinking of changing to this vets.”

Nicest Vet's I've Ever Been To!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My cat had an appointment today, and this was the nicest vet’s I have ever been to. The receptions are so kind, the vet was amazing, and there are little touches such as cats and dogs being kept in separate waiting rooms to reduce anxiety, and separate consultation rooms. Would recommend to anyone, amazing service!”
