I need a new Vet

Recommended Posts

Hello


I just had a poor experience in my vets they seemed intent on selling thier new health care and the whole check up booster experience felt like a sales visit, more style over substance to be honest it felt like a shambles.


I live in Peckham Rye so anywhere Peckham/East Dulwich would be great thanks in advance..

Would you mind PMing me as to which vet you were seeing originally? I had a similar over the top sales pitch experience with mine recently and just want to make sure I don't go from frying pan to fire.

I can recommend Robson too. Excellent care there for my last cat and current one too.

Miss Robson on Highshore Road is fantastic. Absolutely no frills but incredibly good with my dachshund. He had his annual jab on Thursday and didn't even notice because she was also busy stroking and talking to him. He is 4 yo and has been going since he was 8 weeks old. He adores her

I agree with all the endorsements about Miss Robson. I would also recommend Brien Gilmore in Parish Lane, Penge. Both are brilliant vets and if my cats weren't such terrible travellers, I would use either practice in preference to other local vets, but a 15 minute car journey with two cats pooping continuously with fear is a bit too much to cope with!!

I've actually just experienced the same thing, we had a sales pitch when we just went in there, lots of procedures and selling their health club etc. I've also never really gelled with any of the vets there, not too friendly with either humans or my pet! Will definitely try Ms Robson now!

Recommend Ms Robson too. We have been clients for over thirty years. Very good with the animals. We had a collie, afghan hound, several cats & rabbit looked after very well.


Some people say she is not a people person, she doesn't like people who leave their pets with broken bones so long they get gangrene and have to be PTS !!!!!

Had a terrible experience at Neighbourhood Vets, a very young female vet was very judgmental about the fact that I wanted to breed my frenchie! That was my first and last visit there! We are now using Mr Kirby by Surrey Quays one way system.

I think it's a good thing that the vet asked about why you wanted to breed your Frenchie, they obviously have your dogs best interests at heart and I would be pleased that they questioned me. Brachycephalic breeds aren't easy to breed as far as I'm aware, there are tonnes or unwanted dogs already, maybe this vet is concerned about that.

I have a rescue kitten who has had some very serious health problems - some of which were very difficult to diagnose and treat. I can't praise the Neighbourhood Vets any higher. To the point where I think I would have found it so much more difficult to look after my cat without them.

I have used both Ms Robson and the Neighbourhood Vet. Both are good. I only changed from Ms Robson as I moved to Honor Oak from Peckham. My cat has been very poorly in the past with chronic cystitis and cancer later on. Both vet practices gave excellent care.

Neighbourhood vets have been amazing this last week after a accident that could of been fatal and all the staff are very welcoming and I was seen almost immediately even though I wasn`t registered with them at the time. I totally agree with the vet questioning your motive to breed. After reading your post (even though it`s been a while since you posted)It shows they are not all about the money and do genuinely care about animal welfare. Even more reason for me to stick with them in the future.

i have found neighbourhood vets good. Had my kitten spayed, vaccinated and microchipped there.


They did try the sell on me with pet plan and then special food for neutered cats. I questioned the neutered cat food as I had never heard of it, turns out its low cal cat food so I asked the vet if I could just feed my moggie smaller portions of her regular food and she said that was fine.


I suppose everyone tries to sell something to make more money, my dentist always tries to flog me a new revolutionary tooth paste and my hairdresser some new product. Think it's the way of the world.


Just say no kids :-)

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
