Brilliant practice and really lovely staff - I moved to Wigan and was worried about finding a new vet for my cats but I couldn’t be happier with this choice. They’re very well looked after and the vet is so kind and gentle, the reception staff are also really welcoming and friendly. I would recommend this practice to anyone in Wigan!

I absolutely love Medivet in Billinge. The girls are always so friendly and Nina the vet is exceptional. She has such a lovely way with my dog and always makes me feel better when I'm worried about her. She gives excellent advice and care and I wouldn't ever want to use another vet, I always trust her. She is highly valued by myself and my family.

“I had a very positive experience at this practice. It was easy to book my appointment and the staff were welcoming from the moment I arrived. The clinic is clean, organised, and has a calm atmosphere. My appointment started on time and the vet took real care with my pet, explaining everything clearly and answering all my questions. Paying was straightforward, and the entire visit felt smooth and well-managed. Highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for reliable, caring veterinary care.”

We have 2 troublesome rescue Lurchers - one loves the vets the other HATES it. The staff at Medivet Billinge are exceptional at dealing with them. So calm and reassuring to pets and “Parents” too. Wouldn’t take our fur babies anywhere else tbh. Got to note Vet Nina Ambrose and new head nurse Megan… 5 Star ⭐️

I was very nervous, knowing my elderly dog needed a dental, scared she couldn't take the anaesthesia. The staff were marvellous, explaining everything and took bloods to check she was healthy enough for the operation, all fine. She's now booked in for the dental and I'm a relieved mum 😁 Thanks to the billinge medivet staff

My first visit to this surgery with my 4 year old rescue cocker spaniel Jess. They were very professional and friendly and we were made to feel at ease with them.

Saw my dog as a same day emergency when he was unable to walk and in a lot of pain, my pets weren’t under their care at the time. My own vets wouldn’t see us for two weeks but Medivet billinge fit us in and were excellent. Have since moved both my dogs here and have seen my nervous / vet aggressive dog a couple of times as an emergency and are very patient, caring and flexible.

Excellent practice with really helpful staff whom you instinctively trust to care for your pet. I've never had a problem in getting an appointment. Would thoroughly recommend.
