Reviews

Google rating: 4.6/5 from 48 reviews.

•Kind, caring treatment is the strongest theme, with several owners describing the vets and staff as friendly, helpful, and genuinely focused on animal welfare.
•Emergency access is a clear positive, especially in the detailed Sunday poisoning case where two dogs were seen very quickly and recovered well.
•Clear explanations and reassurance are praised in second-opinion and general care reviews, although one mixed review described a frightening diagnostic discussion that later turned out not to reflect the cat’s condition.
•Sensitive handling of difficult cases stands out in end-of-life feedback, while one older review raises a complaint about the quoted price for worming treatment.

I work with wildlife and do a lot of rehab with birds, Hafren have been fantastic with each case I have brought to them. They dont automatically jump to PTS if there recovery & release back into the wild is possible. Including pigeons. I took them a wood pigeon that was brought to me with a broken wing, it was 50/50 weather it would regain flight, but it had a lot of energy and fight in it so agreed to give it a chance. After 3 mths, it passed its pre-release assesments and flight checks and was released back into the wild yesterday. Spotted this morning in my garden before flying up on my roof to be flirted with, by one of the local woodies

Quick response. Very accurate explanation. Really scary diagnostics because it looked like it. But it wasn't. After 4 hours driving and arriving home everything was OK with my cat. He was just scared of the smell in that lodge.

Great access during an emergency. We were visiting the area and needed a vet for an emergency without two dogs, one or both having eaten a large amount of chocolate and possibly medication that the dogs had stolen from inside a cupboard draw. It was a sunday but we saw Isobella within 15 minutes of phoning and she gave an excellent service. Our dogs are now well thanks to this practice.
