Cons:

  • "When I called the vet they told me I had to PAY 19 pounds extra for them to pass the claim."
  • "I’m on benefits and half with her mum she really didn’t care it’s all about the money even if the dogs kidney function isn’t great they are old and they are in need of pain relief due to arthritis and damage to elbows from jumping up at garden fences so I’m left with if you ain’t got enough money your dogs can stay in pain sadly they won’t."
  • "If you ain’t loaded we don’t care was what I left there feeling sod your dog being in pain."
  • "Sadly, I have very bad experiences with this vet for the last 8 months, including: poor bed side manner and over-billing."
  • "Seems Norwood Rd is only about the money not the animal being in pain in their elderly years."
  • "Although we except that veterinary work can be expensive, these added, incorrect and unnotified sums added to our bill leave us feeling somewhat negative from the experience."

Facility and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "The venue is very smart (unlike the previous vet centre)."
  • "It is clean and bright with seating that are convenient to drop a cat box."
  • "Since the recent refurb they now have separate treatment rooms for cats and for dogs and it makes such a difference."
  • "The practice itself is well organised, well stocked, and has a very comfortable waiting area, which divides cats from dogs to help reduce anxiety and excitement for the animals."
  • "Clinic clean throughout."
  • "The reception area is clean and receptionist, vets and staff are very welcoming and friendly."
  • "Spotlessly clean."

Cons:

  • "They should put a pricelist online and should inform the clients upon booking how much it will be."
  • "Seems like a lovely place - but don’t go there if you just want to buy something like a collar or food or bags, as strangely, they don’t sell to non-registered people."
  • "I will not be using the vet anymore, I hope this is not a thing from the new owners."
  • "With a prescription these tabs are £69 for 100 seems Norwood Rd is only about the money."
  • "I'm sure they are good in taking care of the pets. However I called them to check if my bunnies could be checked for gender, was booked in and having used this service before and was for free, I didn't even asked this time. I was wrong. I was charged £35!"
  • "The woman on the phone did apologise and said they will take this in consideration for future bookings, although started losing the patience with me, and I'm still short £35."
  • "After our last visit for routine dental work we have been left with a bit of a sour taste in our mouths!"
