We used hilltop for the first time for our sick cat. They were kind, didn’t over-treat and were clear about treatment options during the appointment. He needed 2 visits and both were appropriately priced. Couldn’t fault the service we got, many thanks!

Such kind and knowledgeable staff, who explain things clearly and give you various options where they can. Just what you need when you don’t understand what is happening with your pet.

I am so so happy with the service I have received at Hilltop Vets today. Kay and Georgie were brilliant at relieving and reassuring me with Jen’s dental procedure. I am so so happy with the care Jen receives here and staff always make a fuss of her. I would give Hilltop Vets a five star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really kind and supportive while also being totally professional and offer excellent treatment. They set out your options and give you the information you need to make decisions. Easy access and parking too.

All the staff here are amazing. From the reception to the vets. I always feel that my dog's welfare, health and happiness is their first priority. Recently we had an emergency as my dog had eaten some chicken bones and obviously had got them stuck in her throat. She was very distressed and her breathing was affected. As soon as we arrived, and while we where in the reception area, one of the staff members (Gillian) without hesitation just stuck her hand straight in her mouth and scooped out all the bones. Honey was immediately better and we where extremely relieved and grateful.

Highly recommend Hilltop Vets, 10/10. The staff are very kind and empathetic, very knowledgeable and caring as well. The pricing is really affordable as well, kind of blew my mind how affordable it was for the care you receive. The quality of care my cats receive every single time we are here is tops. I know this is not always able to happen, but I was worried about my cat and they were able to get me in same day and take care of him. It really meant a lot to us and we really appreciate everyone here at Hilltop. I am excited to continuously bring all of our present and future animals here for years to come. If you’re looking for a new Vet, you’ve come across the right one.

I have been using Hilltop Vets since they opened. It’s a fantastic practice where they care for both your animals and you! They have always been professional, caring and patient. They even put up with me, a slightly neurotic dog owner. Can’t recommend highly enough.
