I rang round a few places and its probably the closest to where i live, they wanted about £30 to perform the operation and seem'ed really friendly on the telephone, i was wondering if anyone had an experiences with them they could share with me as i want to make sure my little boy jinx gets looked after well. Thanks in advance xXx

Yep I use the one at Millhouses too and they've always been really good. I've heard people be a little snobby because it's a chain but that's just nonsense. It's a franchise so have just as much invested as any other practice and are just as committed

I was really impressed with them. They were really lovely when I took my little lad in when we first took him in after he'd been abandoned. I wanted him checked for felv, leuk etc - basically all the kitty nasties as I already have a cat n wanted to know what I was dealing with. (not thatit would have stopped me taking him on) It took them about an hour to run the tests and get back to me with the results. Some vets have to send tests away etc and can then lead to a delay in treatment.

At least they got the facilities. Def recommend. :-)

Millhouses is a husband and wife team - lovely lovely people, the nurses are lovely too. They're very caring, and really care about your animals :D

They are really lovely people and we are seriously considering migrating all our gang to the practice as their boosters come up- our girl Amber is in there today having her teeth sorted, so fingers crossed she is alright. Caroline even showed us round the practice and where the procedure will be taking place. I can't praise them enough.

I use the doncaster branch and i can not recommend them enough.

We have our vacinated for life which initally was a fair amount to pay out (£70 i think)but it has paid back in the four years we have used them so now the boosters are basicly free.

Scott at the Millhouses branch is a star. He dealt with our little feral who had mouth cancer in a sensitive and loving manner. Much better than Park Vets whose attitude to our Heidi was appalling. Wouldn't use any other vet now x

Yes, Scott is fantastic, his wife too, as are the girls who work with him; Sally, Helen and Rosie. The whole team are first class and always friendly. I cannot fault them, they are always 100% professional.

Agree with all the above, we use the Millhouses practice and highly recommend them.

I have spoken to Caroline Munroe she knows her rabbits but I have never been to see them personally so can only comment on our phone conversation.

we take both of our boys to Millhouse. We see Scott, he really seems to adore animals - we usually catch him having a snuggle into the kitten's neck while examining him :hihi::hihi: Both animals respond really well to him. We are very happy with the service and care.

We have a number of customers who use them for their pets and they are very happy with the service they have recieved. We use peak vets in Woodseats and are more than happy with the service we have from them.

We take D our dog there. They are very patient with him and allow him to take his time, they have been great with him and I've felt happy too as they always explain what they are doing and why.

I'd recomend them to friends.

I've used them and never again, they missexed one of my ets who later got pregnant, totally ignored a condition in another that was picked up by another vets and they were a little pricey.

Never been to them - however, I did notice that one of their vets (on the TV advert) was the one who killed my guinea pig when working (briefly) for my regular practice!! :o

I couldn't reccomend them highly enough, all our pets go there, Scott or Caroline, it doesn't matter who you see, they are both excellent and really care about the animals they see
