I brought in a wild pigeon today, had 1 eye couldnt fly and refused to eat, sadly they didn't have the medicine to make the bird better, but they were able to put him to sleep for free. And the staff were nice about it too. I booked an emergency appointment and was able to see them in 20 mins. RIP Petey de pigeonton ||| I cried.

My dog and I have been with this practice for several years now and I am always extremely happy with the service and care everyone provides. The receptionists are all lovely and welcoming and try their best to fit your pet in on the same day, if necessary. The vets and nurses, especially Alicia and Rachel (and nurse Rachel) are exceptional. They take their time to thoroughly examine and explain and it’s obvious they are passionate about what they do and love animals. They have both been extremely helpful answering the many questions and concerns I had leading up to a procedure my dog had, as well as follow-up questions over email, and made me feel at ease and that my dog is in good hands.

I took my cat here for his vaccination and a health check. The receptionist was really friendly. There are separate waiting areas for dogs and cats which is helpful. In the waiting areas there are informational posters regarding pets which are great. The vet I saw was really professional and caring. There is some parking available at the front of the building. This was useful for me as I got a taxi there and back

I have a dog and, until recently when one passed away, 3 cats all seen at Davisons and have always found all staff to be caring, professional and knowledgeable. When one of the cats who was an old and poorly lady had to take her last visit to the vet all of the staff were incredibly kind, empathetic and sensitive to how upsetting this was. Our cats were feral and never easy to handle but every vet we have seen have been amazing! Reception staff and nurses are all fabulous, friendly and helpful.

Fantastic practice full of truly caring, brilliant and professional staff. We have 4 animals registered at this surgery now and every time they have come through for us, whether it’s simple check ups/boosters or emergency care. Everyone from the warm and helpful reception staff to amazing nurses and veterinarians showcases the gold standard of what a veterinary practice should be like. We are so grateful for everything you do for us. Orion, Obsidian, Chase and Nyla are as healthy as they are thanks to all your care and support.

Fitted us in at short notice, not our normal practice but we were redirected to them while our usual place is refurbished. Lovely staff and very efficient!

We ended up being registered with Davisons after our practice closed during covid. We had 3 cats at the time and the transition was smooth. The vets, nurses & desk staff are all so friendly & I get that caring vibe. I have since adopted a dog and he's somewhat of a regular! I would like to call out Alicia specifically and I prefer to see her if / when I go in as she knows about my dogs history. I dont feel like I'm fighting a battle when I'm going to see them. I feel heard and I feel like I'm advocating for my dog for the right reasons. Thanks to Alicia for listening to my concerns & being hands on (consent based of course) with my dog, meaning we could have imagery done, diagnosis & the appropriate meds for my boy. He's in such a better place now and considering how mild his diagnosis was, the overall belief was that meds weren't needed - but you listened and understood that pain (like in humans) is a unique experience. I cant rate the staff enough & all know who my dog is & care about his wellbeing! (And the kittys absolutely get treated like the royalty they are!!) I feel like I'm part of a family & I cant imagine being at another vets. They've set the bar incredibly high! Thank you!
