We have had an incredible experience with Vets for Pets who have been looking after our 20.5 year old cat, Nico. They have put us at ease, and treated Nico like their own cat - which has made us feel a lot less anxious. The vets, nurses, recepetion and pharmacists have been on hand whenever we need them, have been so helpful over WhatsApp, ensuring emergency vet consults are arranged and have been supportive with exploring remedies to help support Nico. They have not been pushy with getting us to try routes we aren't comfortable with, and have been honest with us every step of the way. I was initially nervous bringing Nico here, as we wanted a vets closer to home, being quite a big, corporate vets linked to Pets at Home however I would recommend anyone to bring their loved companions here. Even on our first visit, where they were finishing up building works, the owner (I believe) took time out to find out our pet's name, to come and speak to us personally to apologise for any wait or disturbance which I felt was a very personal touch. Probably the best vets I have been to in my many years of owning pets, and I would recommend highly!

All the staff are very friendly, and always provide the best possible care. Only negative is that vets are expensive.

A complete joke! Receptionist made a big deal about 4pm being the latest a nurse will work for our pet to have after surgery care laser therapy, so we moved what we could around to do those times, unfortunately i was too unwell to attend but an hour and 30 minutes later, my wife is still waiting with our pet to be seen! When my wife approached reception at the hour late mark, about whats the hold up and how much longer she may have to wait, she is simply told the nurse has gotten a little held up and will try to get to her when she can. Not good enough to me, no care or concern for how long my wife's been waiting, after such a fuss that 4pm was the absolute latest we could get this appointment and we certainly would not be able to have rocked up an hour and half late without consequences!

Just noticed that I left my review for these folks on the Pets@Home link. The whole store is well managed with lovely staff, but I just want to put my specific Vets for Pets review here. Hope that's allowed. (Cleo is a feral stray that I adopted when she was pregnant...) Once again, I'd like to compliment everyone's treatment at the Milton Keynes Vets for Pets. We had a nurse (Emma) for our appointment - which saves a bloody fortune - and she was extremely thorough. She was slightly concerned about Cleo's gums, so took her out back for the vet to inspect. It turns out that the vet in question (Yasmin, I think?) was the same one who did Cleo's neutering and she said that her teeth are perfect and her gums are actually improving. Amazing, given her hard start in life. Cleo, not the vet LOL. We also had the opportunity to thank her (via Emma) for her incredibly tidy (neutering) surgery work. What looked like an ugly scar turned out to be a scab that fell off a couple of days ago. I know people who've had keyhole appendectomies that aren't that tidy. Incredible. Lastly, Emma wasn't faking her love for Cleo and the kittens. She idly stroked all of them with genuine affection while assessing them, and even after she was done with each of them. I'm afraid she might've spoiled Ruby! Thank you all, especially Vicky, Emma, Yasmin and of course Lynda, who did so much for us when Frankie passed away. Your love and compassion is well above and beyond, and I know all six of our kitties appreciate it! HIGHLY recommended. Kitten tax...
