"I found a lump on one of Milly my 10yr old Newfoundland’s teat. She had surgery last year for mammary cancer. I got an appointment the same day I phoned. I arrived in tears thinking this was end of life care. Rebecca checked her and found she was producing milk. She has had a phantom pregnancy at 10. I didn’t know wether to laugh or cry. Thanks for seeing us so promptly."
"Fantastic service and at great prices!
Always manages to fit you in to tend to your furry friend. Reliable and good communication. I’m military and my partners NHS and we get 10% discount too. Would highly recommend this vets to anyone"
"I rang at 8.30 to register my puppy and to get an appointment for him because he was a bit under the weather and by 10.30 I’d been seen. The receptionist was so helpful and went above and beyond to give me advice on the health package that they offer and vet couldn’t have been more helpful and reassuring and explained everything in detail. I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else now after my experience here."

"Bella had her nails and dew claws checked. Not an easy job as she is so lively and boisterous. Good advice was given after the check by the nurse. Everyone is always very pleasant and helpful."
"Attended with Indie today and Blue as moral support . Really good visit . Time spent listening and advice given. Both dogs had a positive visit and that means a lot for Indie who is only 13 weeks old ."
"Lovely friendly staff. Practice Very clean well equipped. Vet took time to explain what he needed to do. The vet was also very patient and gentle with my Rabbit. Would highly recommend the practice."
"I took my two rabbits to White Cross this morning for their booster vaccinations and health checks. When I got there I was greeted by a receptionist and the vet, both were very polite and friendly. The vet handled my rabbits brilliantly especially considering one of them doesn't like to be handled! The vet came across as very knowledgeable in comparison to previous vets I have seen and gave me lots of helpful advice. I will definitely use White Cross going forward and would highly recommend. Thank you."
"Would just like to say a massive thank you to Rebecca the vet and team for taking such good care of Bella when she came in to be spayed and on her after care appointment today. You were all very friendly and it was clear that Bella was in good hands. We loved the little extra touches too like the Top Dog bandana she was wearing and the special food she came home with. Thanks for looking after her and all the kisses and cuddles you gave her you were all amazing xx"
"It’s more of important for my Labrador to review this vets but I can honestly say Dub is like a year old puppy again since joining in April!
The lovely vets and in fact, all staff are so happy and helpful.
When you see a dog smiling and running into a vets surgery, it’s a huge bonus. She never did before, they have got straight to the bottom of the problem and helping my 8 yr old fur baby become lively again."
"After losing faith in my previous vets I decided to try White Cross Vets today. From the moment I called them they were so friendly and helpful, the nurse spent a good amount of time talking to me on the phone. She invited me to pop in with my dogs and I was given a tour. The premises are super impressive and the staff are beyond friendly and helpful and you get a sense they are there to give you their time and help. I decided to register and feeling very positive about my two babies having care here. Thank you to the two nurses and the vet Rebecca x"
"Visited twice now and each time the vet has explained everything very well. Friendly people and glad I moved here. Only downside I would say is that it needs 2 people on reception. When ringing it can take time to get through as the 1 receptionist is always very busy. Can take time when you come out to pay too because of this. More staff needed!"
"Excellent vets, just brought my shih tzu home from being spayed. Staff so friendly, and Bella came home with food for the next few days a cute 'top dog' bandanna and pain killers all in with the price £65."
"I took my VERY nervous dog here for our first visit last week. She needed a lump on her paw looked at. I explained to the vet how nervous and reactive she can be at the vets, and the vet was fantastic. She knelt on the floor with her, talked gently to her, tickled her tummy and took her time. I’m so glad I swapped vets! Vet visits are never going to be fun for us, but this lady made it a whole lot easier for us. So thank you!"
"Spayed offer booked, no hidden costs, care was great, pup healing well and appointments run on time.
Excellent care for your pet.
Fully recommend."
"First visit today with our little Scampi (10 week old JRT) had no idea a new vets had opened so close to home. Service was fantastic. The practice was very clean and we were welcomed by friendly, knowledgeable staff. Signed up to their complete care plan and look forward to visiting again soon."
"Enticed by the offer of vaccinations for just £10, I took both of my cats for their annual boosters this morning.
Very modern, clean facilities with adequate parking available.
Busy clinic, but receptionist was very efficient.
Friendly vet who was happy to answer additional questions we might have as new clients to the practice (e.g. out-of-hours provision)
Excellent value for money - it was particularly nice NOT to be co-erced into buying 'add-on' products (e.g. treatment for fleas/worms) which we don't need at the moment.
We will definitely be returning!"
"Would 100% recommenced this vets, lovely staff and very clean."
"Took my mums Yorkshire terrier today as she was poorly . The receptionist was so friendly and welcoming , she completed the registration quickly and told us we could wait to be squeezed in as we didn't have an appointment . We only waited 10 minutes and was seen by a vet . He was so friendly and really gentle and kind to the dog . He answered all our questions and really put my mums mind at ease . the surgery was clean , bright and very welcoming . The fees were also reasonable too . We will definitely be using again and will recommend to all our friends and family . X"

"We took our dog to have a paw assessment because he cut it badly and we needed some more pain killer and they were absolutely brilliant. Thank you Whitecross....."
"On Thursday 25th October my lovable dog Poppy was in pain
I contacted the vet hoping they had a spare appointment. The lovely Receptionist
booked Poppy in to see Dave.
Poppy needed to stay at White Cross, something of a shock, but they were so lovely.
Thankfully Poppy came home later that day and I am truly grateful for the care and attention they gave to
Poppy.
I would not go anywhere else!
