Atherton Vets are friendly, helpful and are great with our pets. We have used this vets now for around 7 years, they were really compassionate when we lost one of our furry babies earlier this year. Would recommend them

I have had my pets at this vets for over 10 years. Liz is A great vet who always has time to talk through all your concerns and gives your pet the greatest care (even when my rottie is growling😅) I would 100& recommend seeing Liz and picking her brain from her years of experience.

Ive had 3 dogs, 2 now passed at a good old age. New puppy now. Would always go there as great advice and staff. We have vets a lot closer to where we live but we didn't feel they were as good or they were more of a chain and after money. Atherton vets very reasonable. X

I had a very disappointing experience with this practice. My son called to register as a new patient. He is unable to read or write and explained this during the call. The receptionist refused to assist him and insisted that the registration had to be completed in writing. When my son asked to speak with the manager, this request was also refused. I found the overall interaction to be unhelpful and lacking in understanding, particularly given that he requires additional support. I hope this matter is addressed to ensure other patients are treated with the respect and consideration they deserve.

A brilliant veterinary practice. All the staff are friendly and helpful. I always feel like they all really care. They look after my pets like they are their own.

My cat had a healthy cat check and he was very well treated by 2 nurses. I would recommend a health check.
