A Vets Life, by Robert Lees . . .

Anyone else's Sunday started like ours? Before 9.30am we had 4 emergencies in resulting in 2 stitch ups and 2 operations, in addition to 2 x-rays. And with 2 vets working our consultations were full. Thanks to Robert (our hero and for coming in on his day off), Clare P, Emma, Kerry and Amber - what a team today, thanks everyone and time to relax. Equally thinking of our colleagues in Equine https://linkswoodequinevets.co.uk/ who have also been 'on it' today ###

We are so grateful to everyone who take the time to review Linkswood on Google reviews, and we thought this recent one was amazing and 'kinda' how we hope people see us.

***** Google Review, 23 hours ago
I honestly cannot praise this veterinary practice enough, they consistently ensure the best possible care is provided to every animal they see. Robert and his team are incredibly understanding and empathetic and never try to rip you off or cause you unnecessary charges, they will always do what's best by the owner and their pet. Everyone at Linkswood has a friendly face, they are never judgemental or condescending and you really can rely on them to provide you with an honest, reliable and caring service for you and your companions. I would recommend Linkswood to people far and wide as the trustworthiness of this practice is unrivalled and worth travelling the extra mile for. Well done & Thank you for being a vets I can whole heartedly rely on.
