Members' Recommended Vets

Can anybody recommend a good vet near Tamworth. I'm currently at Mercia vets and I've always been happy but I've never had a surgery done there and I just wondered if anybody had any recommendations as I'm so worried about it.
 
Does anyone know any good vets in the Coventry/West Midlands area?
 
@sport_billy

I can highly recommend Sian Williams at Greenbank Veterinary Clinic in Gatley (Stockport way). She's very down-to-earth and personable, and has owned guinea pigs herself, so she cares for yours as she would if they were hers. :)

Abington Park Veterinary Surgery

427 Wellingborough Rd, Northampton NN1 4EZ
01604 628685

( The parking and entrance is actually on WANTAGE ROAD)

This clinic isnt anywhere near as good as the cat and rabbit care clinic for friendlyness or experience BUT they are open 24/7 . They have saved my past elderly guinea pig from near gastric torsion. And pneumonia aswell as 2 uri's . The catch is that their guinea pig experienced vet is not on shift all of the time, but she does leave instructions for the other vets. If you live in or near northampton, and have no other option then this is definitly a good move
 
If anyone needs a Vet for piggies in Sussex/ East Sussex go straight to Coastways Vets in Kemptown.
We have a poorly piggy and he has been to four other vets. One in Farnham did not know they have back teeth.
Coastways have everything required and the Exotics surgery is Tuesday although I am sure there are other days as well.

That’s horrendous for a vet not to know that :(
 
@sport_billy please can you add my brilliant vets to your recommended vet list?

Vets4Pets Penny Lane
Penny Lane shopping centre
Church Road
Liverpool
L15 9EB

Clare and Alessandro are brilliant, they can always squeeze in a piggy emergency appointment and are open weekends, and I've had excellent experiences there with general health checks, nail trims, Theo's neutering, Puggle's acute life threatening bloat, Clover's wonky leg, and as of this morning Puggle's recurring tummy aches and Jezebel's hay mites. And they do back teeth checks and xrays with no anaesthetic :)
 
I’d like to recommend Anderson Veterinary Practice on Bromley common. I’ve only been there once (today) but I liked how the vet handles the girls, and what he told me about their health/feeding requirements without my even asking.

A general health check cost £17.50 per piggy.

Done thanks!
 
I would like to recommend vet Ama at Orwell Veterinary Group in the Ipswich area, Suffolk. She has a particular interest in exotics and has done a lot of research into guinea pigs since I have brought mine to her. Always does her upmost of them and I trust her entirely with them.
 
Would you be able to add Kings Road Veterinary Surgery at Biggin Hill to the list - they have done all treatments and surgeries for GBH (guinea pig, bunny, hamster) rescue in Beckenham and are highly recommended and experienced.

I personally recommend Mayow Veterinary Surgery, Mayow Road, Sydenham. They are not guinea pig specialists but have successfully performed tricky surgery on my pigs and more than once saved them from deaths door, and MADE appointments available for me even at staying open so I could dash after finding pig sick when coming home from work. In addition happy to liaise with other vets to quickly get meds they didn’t have readily available etc. And they are open 7 days a week - though sundays have a slight surcharge.
 
Will get these added once home later

Sorry, Rikus at Biggin Hill

At Mayow they have many vets and they’ve all been great so I wouldn’t be able to say or one the other. I’ve been there many times. They’ve even sent cards a week after PTS’. They really care.

Put it under London area, that right? Thanks x
 
I recently had a exotics referral to Iain Cope of Vets4Pets, Newmarket. I had a pig spayed and I was impressed with the level of care.

Do you have a full address buddy?
 
Been meaning to mention on here for ages - Millie Fitzmaurice is a vet at Wendover Heights Veterinary Centre with a specialist interest/certificate in exotics. She’s been excellent with all the piggies and other small furries I’ve taken to her. Also, WHVC provide their own 24/7 emergency care which is so much easier than having to travel to an unknown practice if you have an out of hours emergency!
