We have been using Vets4Pets Wigan for a long time, Harvey is now a 16 year old Jack Russell with several ongoing health issues mainly Cushing’s Disease but they are dealt with quickly and professionally by Mahala and her team, he’s still enjoying a good quality of life due to superb veterinary care, medications and regular blood tests which gives Mahala the info she needs to make sure the medication is working correctly which is important with Cushings Disease. I would not take him to any other vet unless it was an out of area emergency on holiday etc. Everyone at the practice is amazing, receptionists, nursing team, veterinary team, it’s just a well managed practice with knowledgeable staff that do care about your pet.

had an appointment at 14:50 waited for half an hour only to be told that they have an emergency and we may have to wait longer and unsure how long do we have to wait. What a wasted joirney. No respect for your time and effort.

Took my little guinea pig to the vets today as he had got some sawdust wood stuck in his teeth. The staff were lovely and got us seen to straight away even though they had back to back appointments. It only took a few minutes to get it out and didn’t get charged was very grateful and would highly recommend this vets.

The reception staff are always so kind and calm. The vets always take the time to explain things clearly to me and try and make the stressful trip for my rat babies as easy as possible. Chip is feeling much better after his visit

My cat and my kitten transferred to here from Anrich and honestly couldn’t Ask for a better vet’s. They all absolutely loved nacho and simba mother and son! Both had their neutering and castration done there and always messaging day after to check up! So good wouldn’t go anywhere else!! Thankyou for all your help and my 1 million’s questions haha 🩵🩷 Absolute credit to all the staff including receptionist 🙂
