Report
On Saturday 17th of August one of your employees left a dog unattended in a locked car with all the windows up except for a small 3cm gap in the sun roof. I stayed with the car for 20 minutes and called the police. The dog was very distressed and was continually setting off the alarm. This was upsetting for several passers by too, all the more so because the car is owned by a vet!! When the owner returned, he asserted that the dog was not distressed and that we didnt know as much as he did about animals!! I found him to be obnoxious and arrogant and in no way apologetic about the distress caused

Report
We discovered a collapsed foal and after many calls to local vets by the RSPCA were able to get Alastair from this practice to stay for 5 hours with mother & foal until they could be moved. He was truly caring and highly expert in hopefully saving this newborn foal's life. This is a practice who were willing to come from over an hour away when so many others wouldn't. Thank you!
