Staff are super friendly and extremely helpful but they do not take £50 notes and this isn’t mentioned anywhere in the practice or on their website. Please ensure there is a sign up in the practice and a notice on the website so others are aware. Many many thanks

I took my dog in due to him being sick, not only was the foreign object that was causing his sickness missed twice by two separate vets at the practice his after care for the surgery was terrible. I rang them to let them know his wound looks to be gaping and weeping, he was trembling and drooling alongside pink fluid leaking from his incision. They told me this was very normal 3 days post op. It turned out he had septic peritonitis. They bombarded him with antibiotics which never stood a chance to work until revision surgery and flushing the infection was done. Only to lie via phone call telling me “ he has collapsed you have 20 minutes to put him down or give 10,000 upfront ”. The place who would have done this surgery only charged 8,000 so they added an extra 2,000 anyway. I rushed to my dog only for him to be kept from me in a different room while two people told me “he will not make the journey to thetford”, he made it to thetford and then Cambridge where he received the appropriate treatment , my dog was home within 5 days of his treatment. 1 star is too generous for a place that is more than willing to kill a 3 year old otherwise healthy dog to cover their own negligence and stupidity.
