We were in need of a vet at short notice. Registration was easy and we were visited the same day! The vet was extremely nice and caring. Reasonably priced too. We were terrified of needing a farm vet but our minds are now at rest that we can properly care for our animals without the fear of a simple visit being too costly

After losing trust with a previous vet practice, I was recommended 608 vets by a friend. I'm so pleased with their services, your animal comes first. Gav has been very helpful with my horse, and generally a nice vet to be around. Thank you so much for everything you have done so far
