Just like to thank all the staff for the 11years of love and care you gave Jazz our Leonberger. In the hardest times Andy and your nurse helped a dignified end to such a loving girl , putting her to rest at our home. Today we collected Jazz in her casket. As heart wrenching as it is , you have shown such compassion and care for such a loving animal. Thank you . Allan and Kat.

I very recently lost my beloved Roxy, our Frenchie rescue dog. It was unexpected and has left us shell shocked and devastated. Today, we collected her ashes from the vet. I have 3 Frenchie’s, all have seen Andy Buchan (our vet) for varying reasons but most regularly in the last three years of us having Roxy. She had complicated allergies and required specialist complex BOAS surgery. The care she received from Andy was exemplary. His advice was always followed and as a result, Roxy was given the best care with her best interests at the forefront, always. We will never be able to thank Andy enough for what he did for Roxy and support he gave us. We wouldn’t take our dogs anywhere else. Huge, grateful thanks to Amie and her lovely colleague, who were with us on Roxy’s final journey and their compassion and heartfelt support given us throughout. Our sincerest thank you.
