Ozzy had a really lovely puppy check up today everyone was friendly and welcoming. He had a full look over and ended up falling asleep in reception after his check up he was that comfortable.

I honestly cannot thank Marketa and the team enough for the care and professionalism shown to both myself and Bella the other day.
Bella attended for a follow-up echocardiogram after previously being seen at a much larger referral practice regarding a heart murmur and sadly the start of heart disease. That experience was significantly more expensive and, if I’m honest, I was only really spoken to for around five minutes with very little explanation or follow-up afterwards. As a worried owner, I came away feeling quite underwhelmed. It felt more style over substance unfortunately.
Knowing Bella needed another review, I then came across Vista Vets and emailed over my concerns. From the start they were very helpful, reassuring and informative about what they could offer and, honestly, it turned out to be one of the best decisions.
The experience was the complete opposite.
Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, and what really stood out to me was the level of medical knowledge and expertise throughout the appointment. Marketa was thorough, knowledgeable and reassuring, and it was very clear Bella was in experienced hands. I left feeling that the echocardiogram and findings had been carefully reviewed and properly explained rather than rushed through.
Considering Bella has the start of heart disease and a murmur, which is why these scans are so important to monitor her medication, the outcome was as positive as I could realistically hope for. It was incredibly reassuring to hear the medication is working well, and I left feeling genuinely relieved and supported, with a full explanation and report provided afterwards.
The service, communication and overall care received were fantastic and I genuinely would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you again for everything.

Honestly so impressed with the service offered by Vista Vets. Following our Chase’s castration, he needed more painkillers - I finished my call with them at 18:28 and by 18:39 the same evening, they had been dispensed and my partner returned home with them.

The team at VistaVests is incredible. From the receptionists to the nurses and doctors, everyone was fantastic. They saved my cat’s life after she ate something she shouldn’t have. All this at a reasonable cost, considering everything.

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Jahnavi at Vista Pets for my 11-year-old dog, Teddy. From the moment we walked in, she was incredibly kind and gentle with him, which meant so much to me since he’s my whole world. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure I understood all of Teddy’s options and what would be best for his care.
What I especially appreciated was how informative and knowledgeable she was — she answered all my questions with patience and clarity. She even presented me with financing options for Teddy’s procedure, which helped ease a lot of my stress.
I couldn’t be more grateful for the level of compassion and professionalism Dr. Jahnavi showed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a vet who combines expertise with genuine kindness.

Vista vets was a great vets the staff were all very friendly and happy to help it was also a very clean and sanitary environment the prices were cheaper than a lot of other local vets the only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because the waiting time was long otherwise it would have been a perfect experience

I bring my staffie in once a month for a steroid injection and nails clipped. He absolutely loves it ,and vista vets are really good .
But yesterday he was seen within 5 minutes,I then waited 25 just to settle my bill .
Surely this needs addressing

Dan at Vista Vets, all I can say is you took a terrified Chihuahua Support dog, who had been traumatized by another, and with a very friendly and caring approach, within seconds had given her her vaccination. I was speechless as I had been so worried about taking her, JUST OUTSTANDING, A HUGE THANKYOU,

Really impressed with our first visit, with our recently adopted cat. We were seen by James Bryant who carried out our cats health check. He was really helpful and went out of his way to provide some helpful advice! The premises is really nice and we were able to get an appointment last minute. Very happy that we picked Vista Pets!

Fantastic and understanding vets! Dr James allowed me time to answer my (many) questions! I had to debate with the idea of surgery for my guinea pig with bladder stones and Dr James was open, honest and showed compassion. He explained everything simply and showed me the X-ray in detail. The receptionist Amanda also helped me by giving me ideas on how to help my children process the sad news of a poor prognosis. I’m so happy I found these vets! Highly recommend.
