our clients about usFor our clients

We pride ourselves in giving a friendly, relaxed service, whilst offering high-quality clinical care. This ensures that your animal receives the optimal treatment that you as owners feel comfortable with. Our nurses and auxiliary staff treat your pet as if they were their own (including extra cuddles and bedtime biscuits if they stay overnight!) and our receptionist will welcome you with a warm smile and an offer of tea or coffee.

Our vets aim to give clear advice including written instructions after surgery. We are always on the end of the phone if you have any concerns.

referring vets about usFor our referring vets

We hope that you will see Kentdale Referrals as an extension of your practice. Our surgeons are available for advice if required. We are happy to look at x-rays prior to referral or chat a case through with you. Our referral process is designed to be straight forwards, as we appreciate the pressures of primary care. We aim to promptly report cases following our assessment, and you will be sent a copy of the animal’s discharge instructions, to ensure continuity of care for your clients.

Testimonials
  • There’s never a problem speaking to our lovely receptionists at Kentdale Vets to book an appointment; my little girl would not be with us now without Jan, her surgeon and the brilliant nurses that looked after her.

    Stephen – Nancy’s owner

  • If I could give a higher score, I would! This being our second referral, it has felt like coming home, and to feel that when we arrive with major trauma to our dog is wonderful. Immediately we were in smiley, reassuring, safe arms again, and our crisis rapidly disappeared. The immediate welcome from the reception staff to Kirstie, amazing Joe and even the reassuring and friendly night nursing staff all let us know our precious boy was in very safe hands. Can't speak highly enough - and this is a consistent standard.

    Ani – Floyd’s owner

  • Great communication between myself and the staff was kept updated, and they took great care of my dog! The operation went perfectly, and the scar has healed nicely, considering its place! Gave simple and easy-to-follow after-care steps!

    Kim – Bella’s owner

  • Felt my dog was safe with you, and treatment would be done with his best interests coming first. Follow-up physio with Genie and now Emma were excellent. Friendly staff.

  • I cannot say how amazing Kentdale is; your exceptional service and kindness. Thank you.

    Victoria – Lulu’s owner

  • All the staff go out of their way to be helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, and no question is considered stupid or a waste of time. They treat my dog, Riley, with respect and kindness and me the same. I can’t thank them enough for their help on what has been a rough road for Riley and us.

    Pat – Riley’s owner

  • Excellent doggy care. Nothing too much trouble, and the team all look happy in their jobs. Simon was great with us, and Henry kept us informed and gave clear explanations. Definitely would recommend it.

    Alison – Henry’s owner

  • Full confidence in the skills, equipment and expertise of the whole team. Assured by the staffing levels to respond to unplanned events during procedures and recovery. Across the team, the ability to explain and advise.
