Fakenham Farm and Equine Vets were recommended to me as I am not from the area and needed a vetting. Howard could not have been more helpful and gave me so much time. Would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you!

Really impressed with these vets , I have a 9 month foal that had traumatic event so is really scared of people and the vet took her time getting to know him first got the foal relaxed and done the treatment which was scared of needles due to previous vets from a different practice, then took another half hour with him making friends again and leaving on a good note , and gave me lots of advise and info and I felt very relaxed and well informed. This was his first time with these vets and I am really Impressed and would recommend them Thank you for taking your time with my Boy

Throughly professional and knowledgeable veterinary. Exudes confidence that makes the animal and owner feel at ease. Very reasonable fees and no hiked up drug charges. No shareholders pockets to line. So glad I swapped to these guys.
