“Biscuit ate a sock on a Sunday. Picket Fence Vets talked us through it on the phone, saw us within the hour and he was home that night. Can't thank them enough.”
Clare W.
Owner of Biscuit, cocker spaniel
“Miso hates the vet. The cat-only waiting room and the way the nurse let her come out of her box in her own time made a huge difference.”
Tom Harding
Owner of Miso, cat
“Puppy club was the best £60 we've spent. Luna now trots in for her checks wagging her tail, and we learned loads about training.”
Aisha & Ben
Puppy club graduates
“They've looked after Pip all his life and now help keep him comfortable in his old age. Always kind, never rushed.”
Margaret Lowe
Owner of Pip, 14-year-old terrier
“Finally found vets who really know rabbits. Proper dental checks and sensible diet advice instead of just 'feed more hay'.”
Jordan K.
Owner of Clover & Thistle, rabbits
“The health plan pays for itself with two dogs. Reminders come through, flea treatment is sorted and the discount on dentals helped a lot.”
Sarah Patel
Health plan member
