We’ve been using Greensands Vets for the past 6 years for our two spaniels. We love that we see the same team each time and all become familiar with your pets care and needs. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and they are always accommodating to my dogs’ individual needs - we have one timid young dog who thanks to Greensands has never developed a fear of the vets and one recently blind dog who can still navigate all the way behind the front desk effortlessly to guilt trip everyone out of many treats! Both my dogs have needed to stay in for surgery at different points and I have always felt completely trusting in their care. Thank you all for your support and kindness over the years.

Amazing vets. All the staff go above and beyond to make my dog feel safe and comfortable as he's nervous. The staff and the service have always been amazing in the 8 years me and my dog have been going there now.

Amazing vets. Cannot recommend or praise them enough. They have treated my ageing cat with such care and respect. Unfortunately had to have her put to sleep last week and Alice was so professional and kind. I had dealt with her previously when my cat started to show signs of kidney disease. She was always sensible and explained everything so well. I feel honoured to have her as our vet. When the time came, I was given plenty of time to make the final decision and spend time with my lovely girl. Denise, one of their lovely receptionists, looked after me throughout. She didn’t leave my side until I was ready to say goodbye and brought me a cup of tea and much needed support and love. I felt so supported at this dreadful time. They didn’t hassle me for payment at the time or to make and final decisions but ensured Bluebell was looked afterwards until I could decide on her final resting place. I cannot thank them enough. I feel all the vets, nurses and receptionists (Sarah also amazing as are all of the ladies) are there as a labour of love and are so suited to not only dealing with the animals but are so empathetic with the owners as well. If I ever have another pet, I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else but Greensands. Wonderful.

Absolutely fantastic team. Dr Pearcey has looked after our spaniels for years and when I came to getting another puppy it was a simple decision to go to her despite a fair journey to get there. Couldn't have been more warmly welcomed and it was incredibly clear that they all had a love for what they did and the animals they cared for. Did encourage me to join the puppy club (I did) but there was no pressure and it allowed me to split to costs of jabs and chipping across the year. I'll obviously be going back whenever I need too! The pup was more than happy with them too!!!UPDATE: had a disaster with the pup potentially eating grapes (horribly toxic for dogs). Katie talked me though what had to be done and then waited for me to arrive to sort out the pup. Absolute star! Couldn't be happier with the service. Less happy with the dog!!

Uncle Derrick used to work as a vet for St George's vets Wolverhampton. He is the best, kindest and professional vet l have ever been to. People in Wolverhampton were devastated when he moved to Woburn Sands to open his own practice. All my animals loved him. We miss him dreadfully. Animals in Woburn Sands are the luckiest in the world. God bless you n yours Derrick. We miss you. Love from Girl in Wombourne, west Midlands
