I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help and kindness. This is a street cat I’ve been caring for, and I also look after other cats and have my own at home, so your support truly means a lot to me. Everything went well, and I’m so relieved and grateful. I honestly don’t have the right words to say how much your help has meant to me. The clinic is lovely. Dr Michael, the receptionist, and everyone there were so kind and caring. I felt very comfortable and supported. Even though the cat is very shy and not used to people yet, he was treated with so much patience and kindness. Thank you again for everything it really means more to me than I can say. Anna

I found a freshly ran over dog late at night and called the nearest vet. They asked if I can bring the dog to them and when I said no because it is on a road and keeps getting ran over by cars they just told me to take a picture of the dog and send it to a lost&found. I was waiting but they never came to recover the body. Absolutely disgraceful. I am terribly sorry to the owners. It was someone’s beloved missing pet and me as a regular citizen don’t know what to do with unexpectedly seeing a corpse of a dog on the street hence why called for nearest help which never came.

I went there twice with little pigeons, and every time they were incredibly kind and welcoming. I didn’t have to pay anything for bringing the birds, and even once when I arrived around midnight, they received me with a smile. Truly caring and wonderful people.

I just wanted share my amazing experience with Blackpool Veterinary Hospital , my staffie went in for an operation and due to no Fault of my own , my little staffie ended up getting gastroenteritis, he was in and out of the vet and the level of care was absolutely amazing, they really do make you feel like they stand for animal care befor profit and I just cannot recommend all the staff there enough, From the moment we walked in, they treated us with compassion, urgency, and genuine care,they always took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed us, and made sure we understood all our options. What stood out most was their incredible dedication—they stayed after hours to monitor my staffie (my child) and even checked in with me personally to let me know how he was doing. They really are the most amazing vet and staff and so greatfull that my dogs are always treated by the very best ❤️ thank you to everyone at Blackpool Veterinary Hospital!

We ended up here in an emergency and despite having no dealings with them before, everyone we met was so unbelievably kind and professional. This resulted in a few visits with a sad outcome but we knew that we were doing the right thing and felt great support and compassion from each vet - thank you Joe, Cathal and Michael. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
