I could never recommend Faxbridge enough. I've been using the practice for the past 14 years for my lovely Springer/Collie, Charley, and in all that time they have cared for him as if he was the only dog in their practice. He has had severe arthritis, cruciate ligament surgery and many other ailments. One of their vets commented that Charley has the worst skeleton ever seen! He is currently on Librela and Neurostil to help his mobility and I've come very close to losing him a couple of times. It would be unfair to single out any one vet so I won't do that. My appreciation also includes receptionists Niamh and Theresa of course, who organise our appointments so efficiently and help with administration issues. Charley gets a warm welcome from everyone, and although I'm reluctant to say it, I'm sure all the other small animals get the same special treatment. Can't speak for the large animals - cows, horses etc but I'm sure it's the same for them.
