Emma is one of our Senior Nurses here at Kentdale and she kindly took time out to tell us all about life as a veterinary nurse. How long have you been a Veterinary Nurse and what route did you follow to qualify? I qualified in 2012 following completion of the Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary…
Meet Pumpkin, an 8 year old Dalmatian. Pumpkin was referred to Kentdale after becoming very weak and wobbly on all four legs. He was lacking coordination and unable to move around without assistance. On arrival at the clinic he was examined by orthopaedic Specialist Simon Roch, who suspected that he had a problem with…
It’s Mental Health Awareness Week here in the UK, so we wanted to explore the connection between pet ownership and mental health. Thankfully, in more recent times, the conversation about mental health is more open and honest than ever. Members of the Royal family have spoken out about their own mental health issues and act…
It is not unusual for the Kentdale team to go above and beyond – but it is lovely when one of our team members gets recognised for it. That was the case at the end of last year when our Senior Nurse, Emma Dever, was the winner of the Veterinary Times’ ‘Above and Beyond’ award!…
Jeff, a two-year-old Domestic Short Haired cat, was brought to Kentdale Referrals after being found in the yard, not being able to bear any weight on his left hind limb.

We’re advising pet owners they have until the end of the month to act if they intend to travel to the European Union (EU) with their furry friend from the end of March. Currently, dogs, cats and ferrets can travel anywhere in the EU as long as they have a pet passport, which sees owners…
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.
Graham – Winston’s owner
The team have been so helpful in looking after Cuin and ourselves after what turned out to be a traumatic experience. We can't thank them enough and would definitely recommend their services.
Cuin’s Owners
Expertise, kindness, empathy, time spent explaining incredibly difficult situations. Efficiency.

I really felt like me and my dog Mollie were being looked after as soon as we walked through the door. Friendly faces on reception and Jan the consultant was very thorough, friendly and I felt Mollie was in very good hands.
C. Waterhouse, Pet Owner
Very nice waiting area where thought has been given to the layout for having multiple pets in at the same time. Friendly and welcoming staff. Very thorough and professional vets.
