A very friendly practice that always makes my animals feel as happy and comfortable as possible. Every member of the team I've dealt with over the years have always been lovely and helpful. We travel from the next town over and in my opinion, it's worth it. Highly recommend.

We made the incredibly difficult decision to have our beautiful lurcher Rudy put to sleep due to lots of worsening health problems and it was vital for us that this was at home where she felt comfortable and safe. Our own vet couldn’t come to us as we now live too far away and Potton Vets stepped in and was able to allow this to happen. I cannot thank Hannah and Gemma enough for their care and compassion at one of the most difficult times we’ve ever experienced. Thank you for giving our girl the gift of being at home on her sofa with her family. It meant the world to us at a heartbreaking time.

We recently got an older rescue German Shepherd, we found out she was reactive on the first visit to Potton Vets. We organised a second visit to give her vaccinations, and we were quite nervous she would be reactive again. Carla (sorry if I have spelt your name wrong!) was absolutely brilliant, she was very calm and clearly compassionate. Although our dog was scared and showed some reactivity Carla stayed calm and I think that helped our dog and us settle down. In the end the vaccines were given without the dog even noticing! Thank you so much Carla, brilliant experience and very much appreciated.

Holly Anthony

Very happy with the care provided for our cat, Eddie. He is a senior rescue cat with a few issues. I’m a lifelong cat owner and a previous cat fosterer too, I am quite fussy about the care our cat receives (he is part of the family!) but all the team at Potton Vets have been great. The vets, nurses and receptionists have all been very kind and I find them efficient and helpful (including with insurance claims). Most recently Eddie required a referral to an eye specialist - Hannah at Potton Vets was swift to organise that and Eddie is now on the road to recovery (seen recovering from his eye issue in the photo I’ve included). We are part of their health club which is extremely good value and I love that you can book appointments on the website and communicate with them easily via an app. PV, keep up the good work and Eddie and I will see you soon (hopefully not too soon 😂).

I have been with Potton Vets for several years now and have always been totally satisfied with the investigative work carried out and the clear caring by all staff. Friends often tell me that other vets offer cheaper services but I know thast I am paying for the best my pets can get and believe they deserve such treatment for the joy that they bring to me.

Potton vets, are a local vet in a small town but be under no illusions; this practice is not your average small town vet.Facilities are state of the art, the staff are exceptionally experienced and present you with all the facts; in order to assist you, in choosing the correct care plan for your pet.My beloved bunny saw Dr. Becky Lowten.Dr Becky Lowten, is a true asset to the practice. She performed surgery on my pet bunny aged 9, to remove a suspected malignant lump located near his rib cage.Four hours later he was hopping around the lounge. Less than 24 hours later and he has the vigor of an Olympian.If your bunny is unwell, I suggest you take him to Potton Vets for the Dr. Becky Lowten treatment.

The team couldn’t have been more helpful - allowing us to register as casual clients and fitting our puppy in for surgery within a week! The reception team were very knowledgable and I was easily able to discuss the procedure on the phone with the veterinary surgeon before deciding to proceed. An entirely positive experience.

I was recommended to this great independent practice three years ago and found all of the team incredibly helpful and supportive. The owners who are true professionals should be very proud of every one of the team. They genuinely care and are a credit to their profession. Their communication is first class and I would recommend them very highly.

We have been using Potton vets for years. Despite moving away, we consider the 45 minute drive each way to be worthwhile. We know our dog is getting the best treatment available. Highly recommend them.

Emma Evans

09:51 30 Dec 21

This was our first visit to the vets, we are new to this experience. Our vet was so helpful and talked us through everything she was doing with our dog. We left feeling very clear about what is happening next. The fact that our dog was happy throughout his experience and when we got home speaks volumes.

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

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.

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 🥰

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 !
