I cannot thank potton vets enough. I brought karma the 18 month old rottweiler in as she seemed a bit under the weather and I thought it best to get her looked at. We booked an appointment and arrived at the end of the day. The suggested an x ray but due to funds being tight in january I couldn't afford it so I was about to walk away. I was strongly advised to stay and let her have an x ray and it saved her life!!! She was rushed into surgery for a ruptured gastric ulcer and was advised that there will be a risk. Essentially warning me to be prepared for the wors . 2 days later and karma has done a complete 180 and on top of that she loves the vets!! After her surgery the vet called me past 10pm to say he can take her to out of hours but offered to take her home with him! The best place that she can possibly be after such a procedure with a designated space for her. Her stitches look amazing and they even gave me a fitted sweater for her to stop her biting her stitches rather than a cone. Karma has gone from deaths door to almost a regular puppy again in 48 hours. Shes my best friend and I couldn't put into words how I'd feel if I lost her. And i wouldn't trust her in anyone elses hands but these guy . I am aware that karma is not completely in the clear yet as she has peritonitis which has a worryingly high mortality rate so they have her booked in every morning to make sure that it is clearing up as it should when they dont need to. They seriously go out of they're way for your pets!!

Always had fantastic service from Potton Vets. The staff are professional and experts in their field. They are always very friendly and fantastic with the animals. The facility has a wealth of cutting edge treatments and equipment and I cannot recommend them enough. The pet health club that they offer is well worth considering and is a good idea to join. Best vets in the area by far!

We have been using the amazing services of Potton Vets for many years. They have helped us through many low times with our pets with the utmost sensitivity, and always going above and beyond the call of duty. Exceptionally thorough and I wouldn't put the care of my pets in anyone else's hands. A fab team!

Been with Potton vets since 2012. They are the best vets around. Always there when you need them and always friendly, caring and thoughtful. They have been brilliant with our diabetic cat and know him and his habits well. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks for always being there 😊😻😻

Friendly and caring vets, absolutely no complaints about their facilities or the vetinary care they provide. However we did feel on more than one occasion that they were expensive with lots and lots of individual charges that added up (x-ray, second x-ray, sedation, etc) so after several years of using them we moved to another vets.

Just the best Vet's around for miles!Alan & Rene (who are Potton Vets) are truly the kindest, most caringand empathetic people I know. Over the past 5 and a half years they have looked after my menagerie which included 6 cats, 8 guinea pigs, 2 rabbits and a hamster (not mentioning the odd hedgehog, pigeon and swan!!)Their approach to each animal is individual taking into consideration each of my 'girls' personalities as to which is the best way forward in treating them. Never once have I had to question their decision, which coincidentally, was fully explained and prices/estimates given. So every step of the way I knew exactly what was happening and how much it was going to cost and what to expect/results.Both Alan & Rene go above and beyond of 'just being a vet' to the point of phoning on a Sunday as to enquire of the health of one of my guinea pigs which they had recently operated on!! I've phoned the surgery on many occasions for advice and always feel reassured afterwards.One Christmas I was struggling to find a cat sitter who could cope with my totally unstable diabetic cat - Potton Vets stepped in and took Eddie into their care and hearts. I truly believed he didn't want to come home! Their diagnostic equipment is brilliant - allowing you to have most results whilst at the vets - you don't get that at your doctors or hospital! The dental X-ray, key hole surgery and laser treatment all help to minimise the length of time of surgery and aid recovery. Can’t ask for much more!All of the staff at Potton are lovely, kind and dedicated to their work. It makes a trip to the vets so much easier. I don't know what I'd do without Potton Vets - you truly are wonderful!

I was very impressed with the professional set-up at this surgery and the care that they take in diagnosing your pet. You will not get the cheapest prices at Potton Vets, but what you will get is an assurance that your money is well spent. They have invested in high quality equipment to give the best possible diagnosis and will take the time to walk you through the options that are best for both you and your pet. Like everything else in this world, you get what you pay for, and this practice is no exception! If your pet is precious to you and you want the best care for it, I say look no further than Potton Vets.

Although my pet was not registered with Potton Vets, she was referred to Alan for his expertise. Although the outcome was not good I have nothing but thanks for the care and kindness that was showed to me, my family and mostly my beloved dog Poppy. Thank you xx

Would highly recommend, we used Potton vets to have our cocker spaniel spayed as our own vets didn’t offer key hole surgery.From first visit I felt completely happy trusting my precious pup in their care. The surgery went very well and to be honest Ziggy walked out a few hours later as if nothing had happened! Keeping her calm was the biggest challenge! Very happy with after care too. Many thanks.

Kevin Armstrong

19:11 24 Jun 19

Great service provided again tonight after my spaniel got a grass dart stuck in his ear. Rene took him straight in and retrieved it from his his ear with the aid of some Anaesthetic! All about 15 mins before they were due to close and go home! Thank you!!

I brought my 6 month old puppy yogi in a few weeks ago who was in pain and suffering with an illness . Over the last few weeks having tests and being well looked after by Becky , Rene and the team I have my bouncing yogi back .Becky and Rene have thoroughly helped , researched and cared for yogi in so many ways , I can’t thank them enough . I certainly have trust and faith in this practice and would certainly recommend. Thank you Claire and Yogi . X

Fantastic service from Potton Vets in the last two months. Rusty has been visiting them on a rather too regular basis and the team have been wonderful and the treatment excellent. Would definitely recommend this practice.

Miles Shepherd

Called Potton surgery for an emergency appointment when my hamster was knocking on deaths door. They made sure she was seen immediately and nursed back to health over the remainder of the evening. You couldn't ask for more accomodating and talented staff. Highly recommended.

Leigh Munson

Stanley had his last injections today. Thanks to the wonderful staff he’s never squeaked once. He loves the cuddles he gets & is now fast asleep. Great practice that I’d recommended all 🥰

Lizzy Knowles

My whippet Echo was so wonderfully and considerately looked after today by Becky, Alan, Viv, Rachel and the team. He gets so nervous at the vets so I was anxious about how he’d be as I had to leave him there to have ultrasound and xrays, but when I picked him up he was calm and had been snuggled up in a cosy blanket 😊 the care is always thorough and everything is explained so clearly. The team care so much and I’m always confident they’ll do the absolute best for my dogs, thank you x

I just want to say thank you to Emma and Charles who made the passing of my 20 year old cat Liquorice much more bearable. Emma thank you for your kind supportive messages since I first contacted you in October until today when Charles came to my home. Thank you to Charles for your kindness. You sat my cat on your lap and stroked and talked to her until she went to sleep for the final time.You both helped me through this terribly sad time.

It was my first visit to Potton Vets this morning with my two siamese cats. Rene was very good with both cats and I was extremely happy with the service. I would recommend to all. Their rates are reasonable also, especially for the service you get.

Michael Adams

What an amazing practice, full of amazing people. Two of my boys were recently treated and the service given was outstanding. I’m a soppy cat dad of thee fur babies and couldn’t of been happier with the treatment Splodge and Oliver received. Thank you all so much �

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Potton Vets for all the excellent care given to our Cocker Spaniel Merry over the years. Despite frequent visits he was always happy to walk in with his (very short tail) wagging because he knew everyone would make a fuss of him. Particular thanks to Angela and team for their great kindness and sensitivity when we had to say goodbye to him last week. We are very sad but know that he had 13 great years and the very best treatment going.

Nicola Hutchison

My dog gunner a gorgeous golden lab .... very well known to Alan and Renee over the the last 12 years for his unlucky mishaps ... his car accidents ... his collapsed lung ....both his back legs with crucia ligaments and not to forget his fetish for socks !!! Opened up 3 times to have them removed after being very close to death ... we did say he needed a zip putting in ... and the copious amount s of times we managed to get him to the vets before the socks digested !! His medical record makes a good read as did his x rays x unfortunately 4 weeks ago he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer which we decided not to treat and give palliative care only .... the quality of care was absolutely amazing !! I cannot stress enough how much support we received from all the team at the end x the back room was cleared out and blankets layed on the floor for all of us ... 11 people in total ... so that we could be with him till the end x it was so very sad and we were all distraught but it was as we wanted and it was perfect !!! We were given all the time we needed before and after ,Tissues put out and candles burning , the little things did not go unnoticed . a massive thank you to all in everything you did and said to us to help us through a very sad time xxx

Highly recommend Alan, René and the team at Potton Vets. Their approach to treating animals is truly groundbreaking in the local area. They believe in undertaking diagnostic testing at the earliest stage in order to derive the correct treatment plan. This results in saving both money and many animals lives. Many vets will just send you away to 'see if it develops into anything nasty', by which time it is often too late to treat. They also undertake laparoscopic spays (keyhole) which results in far less invasive surgery and therefore a far quicker recovery time.

Really lovely bunch of caring vets, nurses and receptionists. Rene was very accommodating and gentle with my anxious cats and took her time with them meaning they were less stressed. They are also a cat friendly practice, and as a vet nurse, I know that a lot of work has been put into achieving this, and that the staff really know how to approach and handle cats. Trust them 100% with all my pets. Thank You!

I have been going to Potton Vets for 9 years, and although I live quite a distance away(24 miles), I would never go anywhere else. The loving care and attention I have had for my two dogs(Sammy and Charlie) has been amazing. In 2013, at the age of 15, I had to make the heartbreaking decision to say "goodbye" to Charlie.Alan and Rene allowed me to do this in the most compassionate way. Then last November, Sammy became very poorly, despite the wonderful care he received from Alan and Rene, I had to say "goodbye". Rene allowed Sammy to go to sleep in the most peaceful and dignified manner. The support I have been given from all the team has been a truly wonderful experience for which I am very grateful.

We've been with Potton Vets since they opened. We've been through happy times and very sad times, but whatever, the support, care and professionalism has been amazing. Our current two dogs seem to feel like it is a home from home and on the occasions when they have had to stay in for a day, they've been treated as if they belonged to staff. During an awful emergency in the early part of last year, both Alan and Rene went above and beyond normal and have our heartfelt thanks for that.When one of our mice was poorly, she was treated with the utmost care and respect, even though it was to no avail. Can't praise them enough.

My tomcat Thomas had his eye removed the beginning of June and can't thank Renee and staff enough for the care they took over my boy and myself. All went well with the removal of the eye but Thomas developed few more problems mainly to do with his eating at one point Thomas was visiting probably more than once a week every effort was put into helping him. Thomas is now doing well and I have my much loved cat back thanks to Potton Vets. Would not go elsewhere !
