Its eye opening when your pets unwell and the response is all about money

Just been to this vet today for a second opinion on my rabbit. Really impressed with the surgery and staff as a whole. Very friendly and curtious without pressuring you into unnecessary treatment. Really felt at ease with Mahala and there was no rush at all. Would highly recommend.

All of the staff here, the receptionists and vet were extremely helpful when I came in for my dogs annual booster last week. My dog is known to be reactive towards other dogs and cats but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate him. I'm extremely grateful and cannot thank them enough!

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.
